Elton John has some strong opinions about music today, and he is definitely impressed by the music being made by female artists.
“It’s so great to see Nova Twins, Wet Leg, Let’s Eat Grandma, The Linda Lindas, Haim, and all these girls rocking out and making the best music,” Elton says in an interview with “Music Week.” “Apart from Sam Fender, none of the boys are doing it, the girls are.”
He adds, “It’s a breath of fresh air, because it comes from innocence and pure joy and that, for me, is what music is about.”
He also criticized the UK charts for being filled with old artists like him, and ABBA and Queen, calling it “depressing.” “It’s lovely to see Kate Bush at number one, but there’s not many good records in the Top 20,” he says. “The odd thing comes through, like Sam Fender or Harry Styles, or you get a new artist coming in at number three and then disappearing to 80-something.”
