EDITORS’ NOTES

Headlined by hit single “Ex’s & Oh’s”—a refreshing shake-up of the break-up record—this is gutsy rockabilly pop from the smokey-voiced singer/songwriter. A likeable, underdog's pluck runs through the album and transplants you to a dive bar Saturday night. The twanging, raucous country of “America’s Sweetheart” and “Last Damn Night” are rabble-rousing highlights, while “Kocaine Karolina” and “See You Again” showcase King’s soul chops.
