If past is prelude, singer-songwriter Elle King is about to become a household name. The whiskey-voiced singer just made history when her latest release “Ex’s and Oohs” hit the number one spot on Billboard’s Alternative chart – only the second song with a female solo lead to do that since 1996. The other song to do that recently was Lorde’s “Royals,” which led the charts for 7 weeks – and we all know what happened to Lorde. Before that, you have to go way back to 1996 to find another solo female lead in the #1 Alternative spot. With her achievement, Elle King joins just a handful of very familiar names – Tracy Bonham, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Kate Bush, Suzanne Vega and Sinead O’Connor are the only female solo leads with songs that hit number one on that chart.

The Slow Rise to (Almost) Fame
It’s not as if Ex’s and Ohs enjoyed a meteoric rise to the top, either. The rockabilly anthem to bad girls debuted just under a year ago, so it’s taken a while to get there – but the wait has been worth it. Not only is the song number one on the alternative chart, it’s also moving on the Billboard Top 100 at number 40, and on the adult alternative chart. The song apparently has staying power, and the power to draw crowds. The sultry blonde singer, who frequently draws comparisons to Janis Joplin for the sheer power of her voice, is packing houses from coast to coast, making Elle King concert tickets among the fastest moving commodities on the third-party concert ticket market.
King’s Voice Compaed to Janis Joplin
King’s voice, a raspy, whiskey-laced wail that’s as comfortable in the low ranges as it is hitting the high notes, is only one of the things that sets the singer apart from the pack. She blends blues, country, rock and honky-tonk into a sound that’s uniquely Elle. There’s a retro-soul meets country outlaw vibe all dressed up in platinum wig and stunning vintage swing dress that makes her feel like the love child of Marilyn Monroe and Janis Joplin – and fans lap it up like honey.
Since the February release of Love Stuff, the album featuring the 25-year-old singer’s chart-busting Ex’s and Ohs single, King has been making the rounds. In addition to the fall tour – which kicks into serious high gear with a November 17 show at The Blue Note in Columbia, MO – King has hit the nighttime circuit with Jimmy Fallon, had a single from her 2012 debut EP picked up as the theme to Mob Wives: Chicago, and been asked to contribute four songs to Reese Witherspoon’s Hot Pursuit soundtrack. Elle King has definitely arrived, and there’s every indication that 2016 will be her year to really shine.
