Why does Elton John sound like he’s trying to be INXS? Who wrote this??
Take a listen to “Cry to Heaven” and see if you hear what I hear: That this is exactly what mid-80s Queen sounded like. Like this could’ve fit on A Kind of Magic in a heart. It’s no secret that Elton was close with Freddie. The two of them joked about starting a band with Rod Stewart called something like “Teeth, Nose and Hair”.
This is just like what Queen was like in 85: Big, tired and coasting.
(I wanted to highlight “Nikita” but, damn, that song is like 9 1/2 minutes long of the same, droning, island music thing.)
