The announcement comes shortly after Stevie Nicks announced a new single, ‘The Lighthouse’. Nicks last released music in 2022 with her cover of Buffalo Springfield’s ‘For What It’s Worth’. In 2020, she shared the standalone single ‘Show Them The Way’ – recorded with Dave Grohl on drums and produced by Greg Kurstin. That same year, Nicks teamed up with Miley Cyrus for their ‘Edge Of Midnight’ mash-up. Her eighth and latest solo album, ’24 Karat Gold: Songs From The Vault’, arrived in 2014.
Back in February, Joel opened up about why it took him nearly two decades to release his latest single, ‘Turn The Lights Back On’. Speaking with his co-writer Freddy Wexler, Joel said that he had fallen out of love with writing new music, adding that he did not find it “fun” for the better part of two decades. Joel said to Wexler: “It was fun. Music is fun. Rock n’ roll was fun. It was all about having fun — and I kind of lost that and I turned the lights off because it wasn’t fun anymore.”
Billy Joel released ‘Turn The Lights Back On’ on February 1, marking his first new release in 17 years. The track serves as a love letter to fans who have waited for the ‘Piano Man’ singer to release new music, as well as self-reflection for the singer, who asks himself if he had waited this long to return.
