Elle King Releases 3-Track EP of Rough Demos Entitled “Elle King: In Isolation”- Watch the Video for “The Let Go ”

“So many questions have begun to blossom within me through this time of isolation. From the rug being ripped out from underneath, to the burst of a new idea…isn’t the world strange? When we think of the state of it, have we upheld the promise to love and nurture it? What is it that’s going to carry us through this time of isolation? How do we push through fear? What is it that we are afraid of? Why do we fear being alone? Is it because that fearful, lonely driven voice grows so loud in the absence of others? Or do we fear ourselves? When you look in the mirror what do you see? How loud does that voice become? What if you held a mirror up to your Spirit? Would you be able to see your beautiful light then? Within your own Self there is a volume dial. You are your own audio tech. You can turn down and tune out all of those fears that keep you from growth, potential, true power, real change. Fear is just static. Pain is temporary. The past is the past. What are you going to do with NOW?!? Every answer that you seek is within you. Trust yourself. Let your own light guide the way, and let go.” – Elle King

It’s a constant reminder to be kind out in the world, because you never really know what someone is carrying around…”
