Success with Dua Lipa
It is Grammy winner Andrew Watt (known for his work with, among others, Miley Cyrus, Pearl Jam and Justin Bieber) who is reportedly the producer of the new version of the song.
John has recently had great success with re-recorded duets of his previous hits. Among other things, he has released “Cold Heart” together with Dua Lipa, which is a mix of the songs “Rocket Man”, “Kiss the Bride”, “Sacrifice” and “Where’s the Shoorah?”.
He has also recorded songs with, among others, Nicki Minaj, Charlie Puth and Young Thug.
The hint of a comeback
The remake of “Tiny Dancer” will mark Britney Spears’ official comeback to the music industry, after being released from the nearly 14-year guardianship in late 2021.
It’s been about six years since she last released new recorded music.
The 40-year-old has long hinted that she wanted to return to music after the guardianship. In the meantime, she has, among other things married the partner Sam Asghari, something her ex-husband wanted to put an end to.
