If you had told anyone a few years ago that Baltimore hardcore innovators Turnstile would drop a track featuring Sir Elton John, it would have sounded like fan-fiction. But here we are. Released on August 28, 2026, as part of their sprawling remix project NEVER ENOUGH: VERSIONS, “SEEIN’ STARS: ELTON JOHN VERSION” is easily one of the wildest and most thrilling cross-genre drops of the year.

It’s loud, it’s theatrical, and it somehow works completely.

How the Turnstile and Elton John Collab Happened Turnstile has never played by the rules of traditional punk. Over the last few years, they’ve systematically dismantled genre walls, mixing massive hooks and alt-rock grooves into their ferocious sound. Teaming up with Elton John isn’t just a gimmick—it feels like a natural extension of their ambition. Elton brings his signature piano-driven flair and unmistakable vocal presence to the track, elevating an already great song into a sprawling, stadium-sized anthem without losing the grit that made Turnstile famous in the first place.

Breaking Down NEVER ENOUGH: VERSIONS The single anchors Turnstile’s larger remix package, which features reimagined tracks and heavy-hitting guest spots from artists like Hayley Williams and Devonté Hynes. But the Elton pairing is the crown jewel.

• The Production: It’s a fascinating tug-of-war between Brendan Yates’ raw, dynamic delivery and lush, shimmering keys that scream 1970s pop royalty.

• The Vibe: When Elton’s voice harmonizes on those driving, melancholic hooks—“And now I’m seein’ stars again”—the crossover hits with a genuinely emotional weight.

Why This Track Actually Works So many “unexpected” collabs feel like stiff corporate checkboxes designed for internet virality. This one feels different. It honors Elton’s legendary ear for great songwriting while giving Turnstile the ultimate platform to push their sound into new territory. Whether you’ve been moshing to them in underground clubs or singing along to “Rocket Man” on vinyl, this track bridges the gap in the best way possible.
