Bright Light Bright Light Teams Up With Elton John On “All In The Name”

Earworm warning!
From: NewNowNext
Electro-pop singer, Bright Light Bright Light-aka Rod Thomas-has just released his latest single, “All In The Name” from the upcoming album, Choreography, and he brought some special guests with him.

The uplifting slice of bubblegum pop features Alan Cumming, Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Del Marquis and Elton John.

In the colorful video for the song co-directed by Thomas and Santiago Felipe, Thomas dances around in various outfits with cute backup dancers, and if that wasn’t enough there are also talking watermelon puppets and retro musical instruments.


Thomas also made his U.K. television debut this past weekend on The Graham Norton Show, where he was accompanied by John onstage:


John was a fan of Thomas after hearing his first album, Make Me Believe in Hope in 2012. The two became friends, and Thomas eventually asked John to contribute vocals to “I Wish We Were Leaving” from Thomas’ second album, Life is Easy.


“I said, ’You write the song and put the track down and if it fits my voice, I’ll do it.’ It fit perfectly; I love singing miserable songs if they’re done well,” John told The Independent about their first collaboration together. John then asked Thomas to open for him on John’s 2014 tour.
