The new album “Come Get Your Wife” by the singer Elle King will be released on January 27th and is primarily designed as a country record.
US singer Elle King (33) has a new album in her luggage: “Come Get Your Wife” will be released on January 27, 2023 and will focus on country sounds. For the song “Worth a Shot”, King teamed up with country musician Dierks Bentley (47). For the singer it was a matter of course: “It was Dierks who seized the opportunity and took me into the country world. And so of course I couldn’t make my own country album, which is my absolute favorite album, without the person who offered me a seat at that table in the first place,” reveals King.
“To be honest it doesn’t really matter what we do – Dierks and I just have fun when we work together – especially singing and performing great songs together. This song is about going back to the beginning of something to return, so it was only right that we go back to where it all began for me.”
Single release already successful
Before “Worth A Shot”, King had already released the hit single “Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home)”, a duet with country star Miranda Lambert (39). The platinum-selling hit reached number one on both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts. It is the first collaboration between two women since 1993 to reach number one on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart.
The track meant, among other things, her fourth Grammy nomination for the 33-year-old. It debuted at number one on both the Billboard Digital Sales Chart and the Country Digital Sales Chart shortly after release, making King the first female artist in history to have four number one singles across multiple radio formats.
King’s breakthrough with “Ex’s & Oh’s”
The hit single “Ex’s & Oh’s” on her debut album “Love Stuff” (2015) was Elle King’s breakthrough. The number stayed in the German charts for 29 weeks. It also earned two Grammy nominations, quadruple platinum, number one on the Billboard Hot Rock Songs chart, and topped the AAA, Hot AC and Alternative Radio charts. The lead single “Shame” from her second album “Shake The Spirit” (2018) marked her fourth number one hit on the radio.
