By the Numbers
Made in England keeps the John and Taupin partnership intact, with Elton John on music and Bernie Taupin writing all the lyrics. Produced with Greg Penny, it is a reflective, string-laden album whose lead single Believe became a US top-15 hit.
Made in England is the twenty-fourth studio album by Elton John, released in March 1995 on Rocket Records and produced by Greg Penny, Elton John, and Bernie Taupin. The album was a strong creative and commercial statement that demonstrated Elton's continued vitality in the mid-1990s, reaching the top five in the UK and producing the reflective single 'Believe.' Taupin's lyrics addressed themes of memory, regret, and the passage of time with a directness that suited Elton's increasingly mature vocal style following his sobriety. The title track is a modest but heartfelt ode to English identity and the cultural roots that shaped both men's creative imaginations. Made in England benefited from the goodwill generated by The Lion King's extraordinary success and Elton's increasingly respected status as a cultural institution.
