The pansexual pop star revealed on social media that Elton John has collaborated with her on a new version of her LGBTQIA+ anthem Chosen Family.

“It was such a joy and honour to rework Chosen Family with the legendary Elton John,” Sawayama said.

“The song means so much to both of us, and recording it together was such a special experience I will never forget.

“I got shivers when I heard his voice through the monitor and became emotional when he added the piano parts.

“Elton has been such a huge supporter from before the album, and when we finally met to record this song we clicked from the get go. I hope people can hear the magic!”

The soaring ode to queer family originally appeared on Sawayama’s 2020 self-titled debut album. Check out the original version below ahead of the rework’s release tomorrow, April 14th.
