Always one with his finger on the pulse of new, emerging music, Sir Elton John -- upon announcing his latest offering -- gave his thoughts on one of the UK's rising stars that he believes will launch into the stratosphere this year.
LISTEN NOW: Elton John on Lola Young
At the end of their chat about Elton's new collaboration with Brandi Carlile -- Who Believes In Angels? -- Audacy host Mike Adam wanted to pick the music master's brain about any up-and-coming artists on his radar, and one singer came quickly to mind: Audacy LAUNCH Artist, Lola Young.
“She's been around for about five or six years in Britain and she's nearly cracked it,” Elton says. With her latest single, "Messy," he believes, “This time she's really cracked it, which I think is gonna be fantastic ‘cause she's got all that experience behind her, and I think she's gonna be huge this year.”
