Elton John- THE DIVING BOARD- CD- 2013- Mercury Records Ltd./Capitol Records- 602537452804- 400 grn
THE DIVING BOARD is the twenty-ninth studio album by English musician Elton John. It is the second of his studio releases since 1979's Victim Of Love without any of his regular band members. The album was released in the United States on 13 September 2013 and in the United Kingdom on 16 September 2013. Elton John's THE DIVING BOARD, is his first studio album in seven years Produced by T Bone Burnett, the album features 12 new songs written by Elton and his longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin, as well as three piano interludes composed by the artist. THE DIVING BOARD returns Elton John to the piano, bass and drums lineup that marked the artist s introduction to worldwide audiences more than 40 years ago. Elton John was 66 years old when he described THE DIVING BOARD as “my most adult album.” It marked a return to the stripped-down, piano-and-vocal style that made him a star in the first place. Producer T Bone Burnett was central to that simplification, invited by Elton to oversee the album following his sympathetic treatment of The Union, the star’s 2010 collaboration with hero and mentor Leon Russell. But in contrast to the prodigious fertility of the singer-songwriter’s earlier years, this time Elton’s fans had some waiting to do. THE DIVING BOARD was his first all-new solo studio work since 2006’s The Captain And The Kid.

So the story goes like this. Inspired by their work on the Leon Russell duet album The Union, producer T-Bone Burnett encouraged Elton John to return to making albums like he used to in the old days for 2013's THE DIVING BOARD, harking back to the days when he wrote quickly and recorded with little more than a rhythm section. THE DIVING BOARD does indeed evoke ghosts of Elton past but it never suggests the hits. It's an album consisting almost entirely of songs that riff on "Sixty Years On" and "Rotten Peaches" - long, languid ballads or open-ended blues-rockers where atmosphere trumps hooks. Occasionally, Elton musters up elongated melodies that eventually catch hold, but THE DIVING BOARD isn't a collection of finely sculpted pop; it's a set of song poems and ballads, all placing emphasis on mood, not immediacy. This is an exceptional idea in theory; in practice it is ever so slightly formless, floating whenever it should be taking root. There are moments where the tempo gets ever so slightly sprightly but that only emphasizes just how ponderous the rest of the record is. There is much that is admirable about THE DIVING BOARD but the emphasis on tone over song means it leaves only wistful wisps of melancholia behind with the actual songs seeming like faded, distant memories.
