    O álbum soa incoerente em vários momentos por uma falta de ponte entre gêneros diferentes que estão presentes nas faixas. Contudo achei no geral um bom álbum, apesar de não ter engolido a música com a Nicki Minaj, ela ficou muito ruim, porém gostei da ideia de se aproximar de artistas mais jovens, ajuda a dar um fresco no trabalho, assim como aproxima os públicos.

    I loved how plural this album is, it's definitely one of the best Elton's works.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Não podíamos esperar menos que a excelência nessa nova obra prima de Elton John. Os vocais tão vivos e nítidos, combinando com vozes como do Charlie Puth, Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa, Nicki Minaj, entre outros. Uma mescla de pop/r&b com vários outros gêneros, provando a essência genial do álbum. Expand

    Deep down you are just insecure, the album brings elton john in a new version for the industry. and the fans are mature.

    The Lana stans who are spamming this album with negative reviews are not what Lana and the fandom represent, they’re immature and we know Lana wouldn’t condone their childish behavior for no reason, they’re embarrassing and making us look bad. Anyways, congrats on the new album Elton, such an impressive career and you’re still going strong! Legend

    Not everyone will like all this album but nobody can dislike it all as it is so diverse. "Cold Heart" and "It's a Sin" are great songs. But there are also strong songs with Stevie Wonder and Rina Sawayama as well as Gorillaz. Elton has always been eclectic in his writing style and this series of collaborations takes that further.
    Shame the Lana fans (and I count myself as one) have

    Shame the Lana fans (and I count myself as one) have chosen to hack this account. Elton and Lana are mates after all. Both are great stars and while I don't think she will come close to the sales Elton has achieved she is one of the best artists around. Grow up I suppose I want to say.

    There are some decent moments on this record including, Stolen Car and Learn to fly. After all was ok but felt sort of generic. Same thing with finish line but a lot of this record is Elton trying to appeal to a younger audience. One thing is for certain, Elton does not sound very good when he is drowned in autotune.

    One of the worst albums I've ever heard in my lifetime. Whoever thought putting thugs (hey it's in his name...) on an Elton John album to appeal to the rap crowd was a joke. THere's no way he actually likes Nicki Minaj and Young THug.. no Elton you were trying to get a quick cash grab. Awful!!!!

    PS. Spamming to listen to a **** artist like Lana Del Rey makes me hate her more. She's

    The songs with Dua and Nicki stood out to me the most. The rest is just plain disappointment, unfortunately. Was hoping better return for Sir John!

    "I haven't listened I'm just a Lana del Rey fan embarrassed by other Lana Del Rey fans. Like yeah listen to her new album tho (but don't tear down other ppl!!)" - that was my first review. Anyways my peers had a point, I soon found out that he had a picture of 2 naked girls back in '07, and attempted to write it off as "art". Child p0rn0gr4phy isn't art Elton, so why should we believe you"I haven't listened I'm just a Lana del Rey fan embarrassed by other Lana Del Rey fans.

    The record is at its best when it's close to an old-fashioned duet album.

    An album that could have easily come off as a millionaire’s vanity project with his rich mates is actually a surprising, creatively rich endeavour.

    It’s all fun, though a little disjointed – and the less said about Elton’s trap song, Always Love You, with Nicki Minaj and Young Thug, the better.
