The Muse is the soundtrack for the film The Muse, released by English musician Elton John in 1999 through The Rocket Record Company and Island Records. The album is a departure for John, as it mainly contains the orchestrated score for the film, which he wrote in its entirety. The only vocal track is the title track, which was co-written with longtime lyricist Bernie Taupin.
It was his third soundtrack following the release of Friends in 1971 and The Lion King in 1994. It preceded the Broadway cast version of Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida (2000) although a concept album (in advance of the show) was released in 1999.
All tracks written by Elton John, except for "The Muse" (music by John, lyrics by Bernie Taupin).
