Our Take

Elton John's debut album, Empty Sky, is a rollercoaster ride of musical exploration and experimentation. From the soaring ballads to the upbeat rock anthems, Sir Elton manages to captivate and enchant with his unique style and undeniable talent.

The album kicks off with the title track, "Empty Sky," a hauntingly beautiful piano-driven ballad that showcases Elton's emotive vocals and songwriting prowess. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of loneliness and longing, setting the tone for the rest of the record.

Tracks like "Lady Samantha" and "Valhalla" showcase Elton's rockier side, with driving guitar riffs and infectious melodies that will have you tapping your feet and singing along in no time. The energy and passion in these songs are palpable, making them instant classics in the Elton John canon.

But it's not all high-energy rockers on Empty Sky. Tracks like "Hymn 2000" and "Sails" showcase Elton's softer, more introspective side, with delicate piano melodies and heartfelt lyrics that will tug at your heartstrings.

Overall, Empty Sky is a solid debut from one of music's most enduring icons. While it may not have the polish and sophistication of his later work, it's a fascinating look at the early days of a genius in the making. So grab your feather boas and oversized sunglasses, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the mind of Elton John. Trust us, you won't regret it.
