The Muse is a soundtrack released by singer Elton John in August 1999 for the original motion picture The Muse. The album is a departure for Elton, as it is mainly the orchestrated score of 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 version in advance of the show was released in 1999.
All compositions by Elton John except "The Muse", lyrics by Bernie Taupin.
