Elton John and Dua Lipa have shared the Blessed Madonna’s remix for their recent single “Cold Heart,” a track off John’s upcoming all-star album The Lockdown Sessions.
For the first time in 15 weeks, someone other than Ed Sheeran is set to be crowned on the U.K. singles chart.
Elton John and Dua Lipa are poised to topple Sheeran from the chart summit with “Cold Heart,” a mashup of the Rocket Man’s songs, remixed by Sydney trio Pnau.
“Cold Heart” leads the First Look chart, which ranks singles based on 48 hours of sales and streaming activity, with Sheeran’s “Shivers” coming in at o. 2.
“Like just about everyone on the planet, I stand in awe of Elton John and Dua Lipa,” the Blessed Madonna said in a statement. “It was such an enormous honor to be asked to be a part of their collaboration, which is such a beautiful project. I immediately loved the song and I tried very hard to do it justice. It is nothing but pure joy to be in the orbit of these icons and their great big, warm beautiful hearts. I appreciate all of you listening.”
“Cold Heart (Pnau Remix)” — which contains elements of John’s 1989 song “Sacrifice,” his 1972 hit “Rocket Man,” his 1976 deep cut “Where’s the Shoorah?” and his 1983 single “Kiss The Bride” — features on John’s The Lockdown Sessions, a 16-track LP with a guest list that includes Miley Cyrus, Eddie Vedder, Lil Nas X, Brandi Carlile, Gorillaz, Stevie Wonder, Stevie Nicks, Young Thug, Nicki Minaj, and the late Glen Campbell. The album arrived on October 22nd.
