Elle King Shake the Spirit

Three-time Grammy-nominated and platinum-selling alternative blues-rock artist Elle King - who the New York Times says, "has Adele's determination and Joan Jett's stomp, Brenda Lee's high-voiced bite and some AC/DC shriek" - returns with her second studio album, Shake The Spirit which documents an emotionally challenging, yet artistically productive period of her life. "I decided to call it ‘Shake The Spirit' because I was shaken to the core over the last year and a half," King said of the record. "I was literally talking to ghosts. But making the album not only changed my life, it saved my life. It's like when you see somebody who is struggling, you want to shake them. Putting this record out is like shaking myself awake." The album is launched by the brassy blues-based stomper "Good Thing Gone" and the soulful, show-stopping ballad "Shame."
