The new song will be out this week
On Friday, September 20th, multi-award-winning singer-songwriter Elle King will release her new song, “High Road,” exploring life’s contradictions, choices and the hazy journey to self-realization.
‘“High Road’ is a nod to the classic country that I’ve loved,” King shares. “When I come out on the stage of life, I want to be my truest and utmost self, and I want to release music that makes me happy, that I love to sing and music that acknowledges the things that have inspired me, like Willie Nelson and Highwaymen. I wrote this song last year and it’s funny how the lyrics have played out over this year.”
Known for her candid lyricism and genre-blending style, King, who wrote the song with her longtime bassist and bandleader Paul Dominck DeVincenzo, has always found a way to turn personal experiences into universally relatable songs.
With smash hits like “Drunk (and I Don’t Wanna Go Home)” with Miranda Lambert, “America’s Sweetheart,” and “Ex’s & Oh’s,” King has amassed a loyal following of fans who appreciate music that cuts to the core of the human experience while still managing to keep things light.
Look for King to perform the song live on her Baby Daddy’s Weekend Tour, which kicked off last month in Biloxi, Mississippi, and will wrap November 17th in Evansville, Indiana. This weekend, she has shows in Newkirk, Ohio, on Friday, September 20th; at Billy Bob’s in Ft. Worth on Saturday, September 21st; and Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Sunday, September 22nd. King is joined on tour with rising Warner Music Nashville duo, The Band Loula.
