Our Take

ELTON JOHN's latest offering, The Diving Board, is a masterclass in musical finesse and a straight-up delight for the senses. With a career spanning decades, Sir Elton has truly outdone himself with this one.

From the opening track, "Oceans Away," it's clear that we're in for a wild ride. The piano melodies are infectious, the vocals are soaring, and the lyrics are as poignant as ever. It's a classic Elton John jam with a modern twist.

The title track, "The Diving Board," is a sombre yet uplifting ballad that showcases Sir Elton's vocal range and storytelling ability. The song takes us on a journey through love, loss, and resilience, all set to a stunning piano backdrop. It's a tearjerker, no doubt, but in the best possible way.

Elsewhere on the album, tracks like "Home Again" and "Can't Stay Alone Tonight" offer up a perfect blend of pop sensibility and timeless musicality. The arrangements are lush, the production is top-notch, and Elton's voice is as powerful as ever.

Overall, The Diving Board is a triumph for Elton John. It's a reminder of why he's one of the greatest artists of our time and a testament to his enduring talent. In a world of musical mediocrity, this album shines like a beacon of hope. Sir Elton, we salute you.
