Along the way, she picks up a select group of friends to collaborate with her. Of course, Ariana Grande and Blackpink have their own histories of releasing booming pop bangers, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/elton-john\/\" id=\"auto-tag_elton-john\" data-tag=\"elton-john\">Elton John<\/a>\u2019s foray into dance music with Gaga feels like a welcome, surprising touch.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Led in by the orchestral interlude \u201cChromatica III,\u201d \u201cSine From Above\u201d opens in a grandiose, cinematic fashion. \u201cWhen I was young\/I prayed for lightning,\u201d Gaga sings on a reverent first verse. Thanks to additional production from EDM legends Axwell &amp; Ingrosso, the track builds into a euphoric big room house number. John\u2019s smooth, deep voice make him a perfect fit, making it sound like he\u2019s been gunning to become a disco vocalist for the entirety of his career.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In retrospect, it feels wild that it\u2019s taken over a decade for Lady Gaga and Elton John to team up on an original duet again. John has long been Gaga\u2019s biggest advocate, performing a medley of their hits (\u201cPoker Face\u201d\/\u201dYour Song\u201d\/\u201dSpeechless\u201d) at the 2010 Grammy Awards. She joined him for the <em>Gnomeo &amp; Juliet<\/em> soundtrack single \u201cHello Hello\u201d in 2011 and the pair have had their personal lives intertwined ever since, with Gaga being a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/lady-gaga-named-godmother-to-elton-johns-new-son-elijah-65327\/\">godmother<\/a> to John\u2019s son Elijah. \u201cSine From Above\u201d is the result of a decade of mutual admiration. It\u2019s delightful to hear the result of that decade turn into a celebratory slice of electro-pop heaven.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Find a play list of all of our recent Songs You Need to Know selections&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/playlist\/4z2ebTTKukc34eMDlqrnW4?si=mwZhc_Q_TeeZkOYCOwBiXA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">on Spotify.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"pmc-contextual-player\">\n<h3>Popular on Rolling Stone<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/lady-gaga-elton-john-sine-from-above-1005997\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lady Gaga has officially returned to the dance floor that built her early career.
