Elton John
Lush orchestral pop meeting intimate piano confessionals. A baroque, often somber collection that traded psychedelic fuzz for cinematic strings and harpsichords.

Breakthrough and definition
A stark, candlelit intimacy collides with the cold, dramatic sweep of a full orchestra on this self-titled breakthrough. The record trades the psychedelic drift of his debut for a serious, almost gothic exploration of mortality, where the dry, unadorned piano is suddenly met by grandiose string arrangements that carry immense narrative weight. It is a wintery, melancholic collection that positions the singer-songwriter not as a flamboyant pop star, but as a brooding, earnest storyteller working in a vast, empty hall.
Vulnerable saturates this record far more than the artist's norm.
