The Fox

A transitional, wintery collection of sophisticated pop. Orchestral suites meet sharp social commentary and some of Elton's most vulnerable piano-led songwriting.

Sophisticated transition

A crisp, wintry air breezes through this transitional collection, which trades the previous year's slick West Coast studio polish for a more ambitious, art-pop sophistication. The music balances a quiet, contemplative maturity with sudden bursts of early-eighties synthesizers and long-form structural experimentation.
