Teaser:



The song will be released as a vinyl and digital single (no CD) and it's not clear if it presages a whole new Billy Joel album or will just be a one-off.

I’ve heard this is only a single, but I’m hoping for an album.

He’s had enough time!

Showbiz exclusive: Exclusive: Billy Joel is closing the Grammys on Sunday and is Not Making An Album, Just New Single

Billy Joel is dropping his new single this morning.

The beloved rocker hasn’t made a real record in 31 years, so “Turn the Lights Back On” is an event.

But there is no new album, friends. I’m sad to report that this is a one-off single, a little gift for fans. Billy does not have 12 more songs ready for a collection. Maybe if the response to “Lights” is really overwhelming, something can be done.

Exclusive: I can tell you that Billy will close the Grammys on Sunday night with “Turn the Lights Back On” and one of his big hits. It will not be “Piano Man,” although I’m told everyone with the show asked him to sing it. The whole arena would sing along! But it will be another of his many hits. I know which one but why give it away now.

Billy is wrapping up his 150 shows at Madison Square Garden in July. That will be a huge night, I’m sure. But New York fans may want to stop in on March 28th. That’s when I’m told the show will be filmed for posterity and for a documentary about this extraordinary run!

Thank you, ericsen. Good song, and Billy is in fine voice.

Since there's no album forthcoming, and there's no CD single, let's move this thread to Collector's Corner.

If interested there is an interview with Billy's co-writer on the "Turn The Lights Back On" single.

Freddy Wexler already had a good career going long before he co-wrote and produced "Turn the Lights Back On" with Billy Joel. Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Post Malone, P!nk and Lil Wayne were among the artists who had recorded tunes by the Grammy-nominated songwriter.

But writing with his musical hero, who had long ago stopped writing pop songs, fulfilled an unimaginable dream for Wexler and brought Joel back onto the Hot 100 this week for the first time in more than 25 years.

The unlikely story of how the pair met and, ultimately, over the course of more than a year crafted the song, co-written with Arthur Bacon and Wayne Hector, seems too fantastical to be true, but Wexler tells Billboard how it happened and how both their lives have changed.
