Elton John Branching Out with a Dance Album

Elton John is supposedly recording a dance album. The music legend is reportedly going back and forth between record companies, because everyone wants a piece of the new album. He was said to have worked on it with Australian producers P’Nau.

A source said: "Elton says he's writing his most exciting new stuff for years -- possibly decades. Working with P'Nau has got the creative juices flowing again. They have got a load of big companies sniffing around."

The "Your Song" hitmaker is not the only veteran star to take their music in a different direction.

Sir Paul McCartney released the album Electric Arguments under the title of his side-project The Fireman with music producer Youth.

Speaking about the LP, the former Beatles star said: "Originally, when I started the group, I used to joke with Youth in the studio, where we'd be putting together these midnight-dancey, ambient records, saying to him, 'This is like everything they won't allow me to do in the studio, what I won't even allow myself to do in the studio. This isn't like working, it's like goofing around."
