The Big Picture

Elton John

Lush, mid-tempo piano pop defined by high-gloss 90s production and sweeping orchestral arrangements. A deeply sentimental collection of adult contemporary ballads.

September 22, 1997 · Originale Quadrifoglio

A plush, mahogany-toned studio polish envelops these mid-tempo ballads, trading the organic band warmth of his recent work for a highly manicured, late-nineties adult-contemporary grandeur.
