Don’t let them tell you who to be, don’t let them clip your wings, fly free! Elton John and Brandi Carlile continue their bold artistic union with the release of the visually arresting video for Swing For The Fences. Directed by Xavier Dolan and featuring choreography by Damien Jalet, the video channels raw energy and liberating self-expression through dance. The film follows William Darby, who moves with unrestrained passion in the privacy of his home. His fluid, electrifying improvisation evolves into a tender moment of connection with Abdalla Amour, a metaphor for authenticity, pride, and love without boundaries. Dolan shares:

Music and dance have always been central to queer culture. It’s an ultimate act of expression, abandonment, selflessness. This video is about claiming power and pride through movement, especially at a time when some are trying to silence it.

The anthemic track is part of Who Believes In Angels?, the highly anticipated collaborative album between Elton and Brandi, arriving April 4 via Interscope Records. The song captures the spirit of resilience and joy, an unapologetic call to break free from limitations and embrace one’s true self.
