Come Get Your Wife has finally arrivedā¦
Elle King kicked off her long-awaited era of music with her new album on Friday (January 27), packed with everything from high-energy party anthems to heartfelt tributes throughout its track list. The āfocus track,ā named after the singer-songwriterās son,Ā captures the way her genre-blending style has evolved over the course of her career.
āIt makes sense that Lucky is the focus track for my new record, he is the reason I have evolved into the person I am now to create this next chapter of music,ā King said of son Lucky Levi Tooker, who was born in September 2021. āI have put all of my energy and love into this album, and I cannot wait to share it with you all.ā
Come Get Your Wife features a few previously-released tracks that quickly became fan-favorites, including āDrunk (And I Donāt Wanna Go Home),ā with Miranda Lambert, and āWorth A Shot,ā featuring Dierks Bentley, the pairās first collaboration since their 2016 smash-hit, āDifferent For Girls.ā King recently credited Bentley as the reason she āhad the chance to fall in love with country music.ā
Though King loves pop and rock music, sheās drawn to country. She previously explained: āNow, I understand that I have all of these influences and all of these things to make me this type of performer and songwriter, and now a producer. But all I can say is that this is what it is to me. This is what country is to me. And this is what makes me feel a certain way.ā
Come Get Your Wife also features the sassy breakup anthem āTulsaā (which King shared was āone of my favorite moments,ā working with fellow country superstar Ashley McBryde), āTry Jesus,ā āOhioā (which King describes as āa love letter to the place that made me who I amā¦where I fell in love with country musicā), and more.
