Abstract

The article focuses on Freddy Wexler's collaboration with Billy Joel to produce "Turn The Lights Back On," marking Joel's first new single in over 30 years. Wexler, a songwriter and producer known for his work with various pop artists, was inspired by Joel's music throughout his childhood. Their partnership began after a chance meeting arranged by Wexler's wife, leading to a two-year creative process where they worked on unfinished songs and ultimately crafted a track that resonated with both artists. The song was well-received upon its release, and Wexler now manages its rollout, hinting at the potential for future collaborations. [Extracted from the article]
