WHAT IT IS: Elvie’s debut album, Backslider, tells the story of his life—full of backroad turns from straightaways to backslides—and with each distinctive song, he displays the multitude of chapters behind it all. Shane co-wrote the cohesive set, painting a sonic “bigger picture” of life in small-town America. As gritty as it is graceful, the LP includes his breakout lump-in-your-throat anthem for step-parenthood, “My Boy”—which went viral on TikTok following a heartfelt trend—alongside tracks filled with nostalgia, edginess and life experience.
