Description
Elton John's "Jewel Box" is a remarkable collection that offers a deep dive into the legendary artist's extensive and varied career. Released on November 13, 2020, this expansive box set is a treasure trove for fans and newcomers alike, showcasing not only Elton's well-known hits but also a wealth of lesser-known gems, rarities, and personal favourites. Among the eight discs included in the set, the "And This Is Me..." disc stands out as a particularly personal and reflective selection, curated to accompany Elton's autobiography, "Me."
"And This Is Me..." serves as a musical companion to Elton's life story, featuring tracks that hold special significance to him. It includes songs that span his career, from early classics to more recent works, providing a unique perspective on his artistic journey. The disc opens with "Empty Sky", the title track from his 1969 debut album, and takes listeners through a carefully chosen selection of tracks that highlight Elton's evolution as a songwriter and performer. Each song feels like a chapter in his life, offering insights into his experiences, emotions, and creative process.
One of the most striking aspects of "And This Is Me..." is how it showcases Elton's ability to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level. Tracks like "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" and "The Last Song" resonate with themes of resilience, love, and self-discovery, reflecting the highs and lows of his journey. The inclusion of "(I'm Gonna) Love Me Again", his Oscar-winning duet with Taron Egerton from the "Rocketman" soundtrack, is a fitting conclusion to the disc, celebrating his enduring legacy and the joy of self-acceptance.
The production quality of "Jewel Box" is impeccable, with each track remastered to bring out the richness and depth of Elton's music. The accompanying booklet provides fascinating insights into the stories behind the songs, with commentary from Elton himself that adds a personal touch to the listening experience. For fans who have followed his career for decades, "Jewel Box" is a nostalgic journey through his musical history, while for newer listeners, it serves as an introduction to the breadth and depth of his artistry.
"Jewel Box" is more than just a collection of songs; it's a celebration of Elton John's extraordinary career and his impact on the world of music. "And This Is Me..." in particular offers a glimpse into the man behind the music, making it a must-listen for anyone who wants to understand the heart and soul of one of the greatest artists of our time.
