Billy Joel, a music legend, made a remarkable return to the pop scene with his new piano ballad, “Turn the Lights Back On”. This song marks Joel’s first original track since 2007, breaking his self-imposed songwriting hiatus. He collaborated with Freddy Wexler, a familiar name in the pop world, recognized for his work with artists such as Justin Bieber and Kanye West. Joining them were Arthur Bacon and Wayne Hector, making this ensemble a striking mix of talent.

“Turn the Lights Back On” is a significant addition to Joel’s discography. The last time fans received a new Billy Joel single was 31 years ago from his album “River Of Dreams”. While Joel did release a studio album in 2001, “Fantasies & Delusions”, it comprised only of classical compositions performed by pianist Richard Hyung.

At 74, the self-styled ‘Piano Man’ demonstrates he is not ready to retire, garnering both mass appeal and an array of criticism. Despite the wait, Joel’s return reiterates his timeless impact on the music scene, reminding fans of the raw talent that asserted him as a legend. Billy Joel’s continued dedication to his craft impresses as “Turn the Lights Back On” reverberates his legacy.
