Elle King comes to Houston with a baby on board.
has confessed on record that she’s “not America’s sweetheart.” Her latest hit is about staying out too late and drinking too much. She’s a tattooed love girl who’s even done a viral version of that song about necks and backs . The Grammy nominated singer-songwriter is very aware of a particular notoriety attached to her.
“Music to me, and live performances, it’s fun and I think that’s why people like coming to my shows because it’s like a party onstage and in the audience and we’re all in it together, whether you drink or not,” she said. “I also haven’t fully toured with a baby so I have to find my footing within that. But at the same time, it’s not like it’s going to be a bad thing for me to drink less before I perform.
While King works through touring with an infant in tow, she has already seen how parenthood might influence her songwriting. She’s asked fans if they’d be interested in a children’s album. Despite her outlaw reputation, this falls right in line with King’s ethos. Her sound isn’t simple to pin down. She’s got a vast list of musical influences and that’s allowed her to move comfortably across genres, from pop to blues rock to country.
“I learn more and more about myself as I grow and try to gain some semblance of self-awareness. I realize I’m an extremely competitive person. I wouldn’t say that I’m an expert in anything that I do except having a good time,” she laughed. “I saw this guy, who was kind of a new friend when I was living in Philadelphia, playing the banjo and I was like, you know, I can fumble my way around guitar — anything you can do, I can do better.
“The root of it is all these instruments that I’ve fallen in love with are just tools for this cathartic release that has somehow become my career, which I’m so grateful for,” she continued. “At the root of it is this cathartic release of my feelings, my emotions, when I’m happy, when I’m sad, I write music and it helps me. All my records are diaries of my life so far.”
King said she’s tried to put less pressure on herself and just let things happen as intended over her career. That’s yielded good results, she thinks.

King Crimson’s Ian McDonald Proved Avant Rock and Stadium Rock Can Coexist PeacefullyThe Venn diagram for iconic rock bands Foreigner and King Crimson do not have a lot of overlap. It’s safe to say that most devoted fans of one do not own any records by the other, and the descriptor 'rock band primarily active in the 1970s' is about as far as you’ll get when it comes to their similarities — except for one extraordinarily key element of both groups: multi-instrumentalist Ian McDonald.
