Prepare to turn up the volume, everyone.
Gay music legend Elton John has teamed up with rising gay icon Dua Lipa to collaborate on a new single, “Cold Heart.” And it should come as no surprise that it is totally awesome.

The video for “Cold Heart” uses both cartoon animation and stop-motion animation (sometimes called “claymation” in the vernacular) to imagine a cosmic nightclub occupied by a diverse, androgynous and very fabulous dance troupe swaying. in platform shoes and sparkling glasses. The video also borrows from the films Yellow Submarine and The Wall to include flying fish and flowers with open eyes. Meanwhile, Elton sings the lead voice of a cold-hearted ex, while Dua samples Elton’s classic “Rocketman” as the chorus.
In other words, it’s totally bonkers and totally wild.
So turn up the volume and get ready for a psychedelic dance trip. We have a feeling that we will be hearing the song in the very near future.
