"Billy Joel's Pop Music Comeback"

Billy Joel debuted his first new pop song in nearly 20 years, "Turn the Lights Back On," at the Grammy Awards, inspired by a meeting with songwriter and producer Freddy Wexler, who convinced him to continue writing music. Despite previously expressing disinterest in making new albums, Joel's influence as a songwriter has endured, drawing in new generations, and his return to pop music has been eagerly anticipated.
