"(I’M GONNA) LOVE ME AGAIN” WAS WRITTEN ESPECIALLY FOR ROCKETMAN BY ELTON JOHN AND BERNIE TAUPIN AND
PERFORMED BY ELTON AND TARON EGERTON
CO-PRODUCED BY GILES MARTIN AND GREG KURSTIN
SONG TAKEN FROM ROCKETMAN, IN THEATRES NOW
13 JUNE (TORONTO, ON) - The video for “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again”, a brand-new song written especially for ROCKETMAN by Elton John and Bernie Taupin, and performed by Elton and Taron Egerton,
has today been unveiled. The glorious visuals give a vivid snapshot
into Elton’s career, taking shots of Taron in the epic musical fantasy ROCKETMAN,
intercut with archive live footage, 70’s psychedelic animation, iconic
album artwork and gig posters to transport you back to his hedonistic
heyday. Directed by contemporary graphic designer Kii Arens, the video
is a perfect accompaniment to the gloriously uptempo, soulful stomper of
a track, which plays over the movie’s credits. The video premiered
today on MTVU and MTV Live and can be seen throughout the day.
The song is taken from Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture
(out now on Interscope Records/Universal Music Canada), which sees
celebrated producer and composer Giles Martin re-interpreting and
re-imagining Elton’s iconic hits, tailoring the music specifically to
support the narrative of the major motion picture, with a truly show
stopping vocal performance from ROCKETMAN lead actor Taron Egerton.
“(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” is co-produced by Giles Martin and Greg
Kurstin.
Tasked with taking Elton’s unparalleled back catalogue and reimagining it to fit the film’s narrative, ‘Rocketman: Music From The Motion Picture’
producer Giles Martin worked closely with the filmmakers, supervising
all of the music for the production and pulling a vocal masterclass from
Taron in the studio. From transforming ‘Saturday Night’s Alright for
Fighting’ into an epic ensemble piece, to morphing ‘I Want Love’ into a
heart-breaking moment of conflict around little Reggie’s family meal,
each track has been sculpted to form a unique part of the narrative of
this most incredible of stories. The album is produced by Giles Martin
(except “(I’m Gonna) Love Me Again” co-produced by Giles Martin and Greg
Kurstin) and was recorded between 2017 and 2019 at Abbey Road Studios
and AIR Studios in London. Executive Album Producers are Elton John,
David Furnish, Matthew Vaughn and Dexter Fletcher.
Paramount Pictures presents, in association with New Republic
Pictures, A Marv Films/Rocket Pictures production ROCKETMAN, an epic
musical fantasy about the incredible human story of Elton John’s
breakthrough years. In cinemas now, the film follows the fantastical
journey of transformation from shy piano prodigy Reginald Dwight into
international superstar Elton John. This inspirational story - set to
Elton John’s most beloved songs and performed by star Taron Egerton -
tells the universally relatable story of how a small-town boy became one
of the most iconic figures in pop culture. Rocketman also
stars Jamie Bell as Elton’s longtime lyricist and writing partner Bernie
Taupin, Richard Madden as Elton’s then manager, John Reid, and Bryce
Dallas Howard as Elton’s mother Sheila Farebrother. ROCKETMAN was
directed by Dexter Fletcher, written by Lee Hall and produced by Matthew
Vaughn, David Furnish, Adam Bohling and David Reid.
