Elle King

The record is a 12-track ode to her roots, love, and personal journey. On top of being earnest storytelling pieces, they have the cadence of songs made to amp ...

“‘Drunk’ taught me to get out of the way of a song and to let things have their own life,” she says. I really wanted to take a moment in the song to be smart and say, ‘it’s not you, it’s the guy in this instance.’ The guy is cheating on me. “I wanted to mix my sound with traditional bluegrass. “I mean, look at Dolly and Whitney Houston on ‘I Will Always Love You.’ A good song you can do in so many different ways.” I really wanted to make Tyler and my brother proud. “I know my strengths,” she continues. In “Before You Met Me” she accepts the person she used to be, despite feeling like a changed woman. “I think that there’s a lot of strength and vulnerability in that. “I wanted to honor that and celebrate my family. While she pens a love letter to her roots in the album’s opener “Ohio,” elsewhere she details the rest of her journey, grinning and bearing the messier parts with marked confidence. “I didn’t know who Dierks Bentley was,” King tells American Songwriter. The album opens up with a nod to her family.

The singer shared what life is like on the road with her 1-year-old son, Lucky.

And I have the best baby in the world." And even though the singer admitted that it was "super nerve-wracking" reaching out to her famous friends to collaborate, she said this album feels like her most authentic yet. "And I was like, 'Well, I'm gonna call the record that.' Because it's funny and like most things in my life, I have to find a way to find humor in it." "Get out of my own way. "I'm learning to get out of the way," she explained. "I'm in a loving relationship. Now I have badass women touring with me and it's been a refreshing kind of difference," she raved. "Last year, before we went on tour, so many moms were the first people to reach out," she shared. I actually feel like I'm so much more comfortable, and I can kind of let my hair down." I definitely don't act like most even performers," she shared. I am either very awkward, or sometimes a joke will land and sometimes jokes don't land." "I feel like, I don't look like most women.

Elle King's poignant song "Lucky" appears on her new album Come Get Your Wife, out now.

But I feel like everything, all my different influences, helped me create my version of country and what country sounds like to me, which is everything that I am and everything that I like: poppy, bluesy, southern, soulful, rock and roll — it all kind of just sums it up." "I have the first pressing of the vinyl, and I put it on the other day — I hadn't actually even listened to it yet — and I was listening to it, just thinking, 'This just sounds like an Elle King album,'" King says. "He knows the 'Lucky' song because the day that I wrote it, I went back [home], and I literally quietly cried while I played it for him on the phone," King, 33, tells PEOPLE of her son. He'll go up and put his hand on the speaker." "He was in the studio when we recorded it, and he knows that's his song. He also knows his name, but he knows that that's for him.
