One of music's biggest names has lent a helping hand to R&B star Teyana Taylor.
Elton John was featured in the 29-year-old singer's self-directed music video, which dropped on Tuesday.
John, 73, plays piano in the video and is joined by Taylor, a guitarist and a few dancers.
"'Lose Each Other' is such a special record for me, and I wanted the visual to feel just as big," said Taylor in a statement obtained by Rolling Stone. "I told my team, 'You know what would be dope? If I could have Elton John open the video on the piano!' Not that I thought it could really happen, but just putting it out there in the universe."

She continued: "So as we were working through treatment ideas and solidifying logistics for the video, an international phone number calls me ... and for a second I almost didn’t answer, but my intuition spoke, I answered. All I hear is ... 'Hello darling, it’s Elton. I’d love to do your video!' I freaked out!"
John said he became a "huge fan" of Taylor's after the release of her debut album, "VII."

"She was a guest on my 'Rocket Hour' and I fell in love with her original spirit," said the music legend. "Aside from her brilliant music, Teyana is one of the most visually dazzling artists working in music today. So I jumped at the chance to be in her latest video 'Lose Each Other.'"
The video features simple visuals, with Taylor or her dancers set against a black or white background, and relatively simple costumes. John wears a dark suit while playing a black grand piano against the white backdrop.

"As a director, I wanted the imagery to be simple, yet powerful, which is why I choose an all-white background and bold looks," Taylor said. "I wanted my audience to understand how love’s hardships can also be beautiful."
