iTunes moved it on front page Idk what that means but I like it

IT is one of Elton John’s most loved songs, with the words known by millions around the globe. But you may have to relearn Tiny Dancer when you hear the new version he has created with Britney Spears. He has teamed up with the US superstar for a rendition of the 1971 tune, and I can reveal she tweaked the lyrics and offered to sing a new verse for the remix, which is due out later this month. The single, to be called Hold Me Closer, will be her first ­single in six years. But it won’t be a straight- forward cover of Tiny Dancer, as it also features clever samples from other songs released by Elton, including his 1992 track The One. A source said: “Elton has helped countless artists throughout the years, both publicly and privately, and has been well aware of Britney’s battle to escape her conservatorship. “They have known each other for years, with Elton personally inviting Brit to a number of his famous Oscar parties. "He genuinely wants the best for her and to hear them on a track together is amazing. "He was very keen to make it clear they are both on a level playing field when it comes to credits. “It will be ‘Elton John, Britney Spears’ — she won’t simply be a featured artist. “And she will get the money she deserves from the earnings.” Speaking about her love of Elton, Britney ­previously said: “I am the ­biggest fan in the world of him. Me and my mum, we love him to death.” It’s safe to say he’s a Brit of a fan, too. 🔴The Irish Sun
