Shake the Spirit

Elle King

A raw, maximalist blend of blues-rock and psychedelic soul. Gritty vocals meet distorted banjos in a cathartic exorcism of heartbreak and self-reckoning.

October 19, 2018 · RCA

Find on Amazon

A fierce, horn-drenched exorcism that balances swaggering rebellion with raw, bleeding-heart vulnerability.

Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, horn-drenched climax of Little Bit of Lovin' that feels like a spiritual breakthrough.
The way her voice breaks into a jagged growl during the chorus of Baby Outlaw.
The stripped-back, haunting vulnerability of the opening lines on Good Thing Gone.
