Surfaces are no different. &#8216;Learn To Fly&#8217;, featuring Elton John, was produced by the pair, and created via Zoom. It&#8217;s a very upbeat track that will surely put you in a good mood during these times.

I loved the song and the production on the track they sent me. We recorded via Zoom in LA and it was so much fun working on a non-Elton record. These guys are terrific and we had a blast collaborating.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Despite the circumstances, Surfaces have had quite an extraordinary year.
