Brandi Carlile and Elton John have unleashed “Little Richard’s Bible,” a electrifying track from their new joint album, Who Believes in Angels?.
Released via Interscope Records, the song barrels forth with a rollicking piano riff courtesy of John, paired with Carlile’s powerhouse vocals, paying homage to the rock ‘n’ roll pioneer Little Richard. Recorded during an intense 20-day stint at Sunset Sound Studios, this cut blends their talents into a foot-stomping tribute, with lyrics co-crafted by Carlile and John’s longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin.
The track pulses with raw energy, its barrelhouse rhythm driven by Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith and bassist Pino Palladino’s steady groove. Carlile belts out tales of Little Richard’s wild spirit, while John’s keys ignite memories of his own ‘70s heyday. Fans on X are buzzing, calling it a “rock revival masterpiece.”
“Little Richard’s Bible” stands as a highlight of the album’s diverse sound, bridging Carlile’s Americana roots with John’s pop-rock legacy. It’s a testament to their creative synergy, proving this partnership is no mere nostalgia trip but a bold step forward.
