New York, NY (Top40 Charts) The video for "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again", a brand-new song written especially for ROCKETMAN by
Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and performed by Elton and Taron Egerton, has today been unveiled. The glorious visuals give a vivid snapshot into Elton's career, taking shots of Taron in the epic musical fantasy ROCKETMAN, intercut with archive live footage, 70's psychedelic animation, iconic album artwork and gig posters to transport you back to his hedonistic heyday. Directed by contemporary graphic designer Kii Arens, the video is a perfect accompaniment to the gloriously uptempo, soulful stomper of a track, which plays over the movie's credits. The video premiered today on MTVU and MTV Live and can be seen throughout the day.
The song is taken from Rocketman:
Music From The Motion Picture (out now on Interscope Records/Universal Music), which sees celebrated producer and composer Giles
Martin re-interpreting and re-imagining Elton's iconic hits, tailoring the music specifically to support the narrative of the major motion picture, with a truly show stopping vocal performance from ROCKETMAN lead actor Taron Egerton. "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" is co-produced by Giles
Martin and Greg Kurstin.
Tasked with taking Elton's unparalleled back catalogue and reimagining it to fit the film's narrative, 'Rocketman:
Music From The Motion Picture' producer Giles
Martin worked closely with the filmmakers, supervising all of the music for the production and pulling a vocal masterclass from Taron in the studio. From transforming 'Saturday Night's Alright for Fighting' into an epic ensemble piece, to morphing 'I Want Love' into a heart-breaking moment of conflict around little Reggie's family meal, each track has been sculpted to form a unique part of the narrative of this most incredible of stories. The album is produced by Giles
Martin (except "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again" co-produced by Giles
Martin and Greg Kurstin) and was recorded between 2017 and 2019 at Abbey Road Studios and AIR Studios in London. Executive Album Producers are Elton John,
David Furnish, Matthew Vaughn and
Dexter Fletcher.
