On paper you’d wonder if the pairing of ELTON JOHN and BRITNEY SPEARS would work but one listen to their new single, a reworking of Elton’s classic Tiny Dancer will silence the harshest critic.

After months of speculation and eager anticipation, the song finally dropped at midnight and what a song it is. ‘HOLD ME CLOSER’ is a joyful dance-floor tune, with a similar feel to Cold Cold Heart which Elton released last year with Dua Lipa.

In a statement Sir Elton said…..

“She truly is an icon, one of the all-time great pop stars and she sounds amazing on this record. I love her dearly and am delighted with what we’ve created together.”

Britney added……

“I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with you and your legendary mind.”

She recently tweeted…..

“Okie dokie … my first song in 6 years!!!! It’s pretty damn cool that I’m singing with one of the most classic men of our time. I’m kinda overwhelmed… it’s a big deal to me.”

Is it going to be a hit? Take a listen for yourself and decide (yes is the answer by the way)….
