Lisa Marie Presley Announces 'Storm & Grace' Release Date

American singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley - the only daughter of the King himself Elvis Presley - has announced that she’ll be releasing her new album ‘Storm & Grace’ on October 15th.

ImageThe album, an Americana-inspired collection which perfectly showcases Lisa Marie’s song-writing talent and smouldering alto voice, was produced by 12-time Grammy Award winner T-Bone Burnett, and featured collaborators include Richard Hawley and Ed Harcourt.

With all the hoopla that has surrounded her, it’s easy to forget that Lisa Marie Presley is at heart a simple Southern girl whose earliest musical memories are of obsessively listening to 45’s in her bedroom at Graceland and of her dad catching her singing into a hairbrush in front of a mirror at the age of three. The Memphis-born Presley reclaims those roots on her new album which is a marked departure from Presley’s previous albums, 2003's gold-certified ‘To Whom It May Concern’ and 2005's ‘Now What’, which both debuted in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart.

“I love the songs, but I think I was hiding behind a lot of sonic layers because it was scary to go out there,” Presley says. “It’s easier to bury yourself in the noise so you don't stand out. This album is a lot more stripped-down and naked, both musically and lyrically.”

The album’s rootsy tone is set immediately with the opening track ‘Over Me,’ with it's echoey guitar line, burping bassline, shuffling backbeat, and lyrics that lament a lover who’s replaced her, while the ominous, swampy lead single ‘You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet’ (check its video out below) and the pedal-steel and mandolin-driven title track sound like they could have been recorded during an impromptu back-porch jam session.

Lisa Marie retreated from the music industry after the release of ‘Now What’, and relocated to the English countryside with her husband and young twin daughters. With some gentle prodding from new manager Simon Fuller, Presley agreed, in the summer of 2009, to sit down with some new songwriting collaborators, including three British artists - Sacha Skarbek (who’s written with Adele among others), and singer-songwriters Ed Harcourt and Richard Hawley.

The result is her first album for seven years - but she doesn’t sound one bit rusty.
