About this album

Ice On Fire shows Elton John refining his mid-80s pop-rock sound with glossy production and stronger hooks than many of his contemporaries were managing at the time. Issued in 1985, the album was built around Nikita, the international hit that became one of his signature singles, alongside songs such as Wrap Her Up and Cry to Heaven. The record reflects Elton John’s long-running partnership with lyricist Bernie Taupin, while its polished studio approach and radio-friendly songwriting kept him firmly in the mainstream during a transitional decade. It remains a notable entry in his catalogue for its balance of commercial polish and melodic instinct.
