Shake the Spirit by Elle King
Shake the Spirit is an album by Elle King, released in 2018. 1 song from it has charted on rock radio countdowns, with 8 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Shame”, on 8 lists with a best position of #12.
Shake the Spirit, Elle King's second studio album, came out on RCA on October 19, 2018, three years after Love Stuff and the top-ten breakout of "Ex's & Oh's". It was recorded in Denton, Texas, with Greg Kurstin credited as producer, and it's a darker ride: blues rock with a country drawl and a bar-band stomp, fronted by a voice that sounds like it's been gargling gravel and bourbon.
The songs dig into the rough stretch that came with the spotlight, divorce, self-doubt, drinking to cope and PTSD among them, and critics heard an artist with far more to offer than one big hit. "Shame" gave rock radio its way in.
