THE B-SIDE
Elle King (RCA)
5/8/15
WHAT IT IS: Jon Pareles of The New York Times describes Elle King as “a sassy, hard-drinking, love-’em-and-leave-’em hellion with bad tattoos and a broad pedigree across rock, pop and country. She has Adele’s determination and Joan Jett’s stomp, Brenda Lee’s high-voiced bite and some AC/DC shriek.” The Wall Street Journal calls her voice “a powerful instrument that reflects the influence of Aretha Franklin and rockabilly pioneer Wanda Jackson,” while Teen Vogue declares her “Blond and boisterous... music’s newest hot chick.”
