“Ex’s & Oh’s” by Elle King (f/ Robert Bacon)

In the midst of the late 2015 charts that featured the likes of Justin Bieber, The Weeknd, Adele, and Drake, you’ll find Elle King, the raspy-voiced singer-songwriter whose sound was a cross between country and rock. Her Top 10 hit “Ex’s & Oh’s” was a critically acclaimed track that describes Elle’s past relationships with needy men and how they tend to come back to haunt her. The music video flipped gender roles and satirized the objectification of women by featuring a whole host of scantily-clad men, and Elle seemed to be a strong feminist voice that would be in our lives for a long time. She even had a crossover appeal that allowed her to share the stage with anyone from Modest Mouse to Ed Sheeran. Has enough time even passed for us to be able to officially call Elle King a one hit wonder, or should we all be yelling “you can do it!” while she works on new material? Today, we’re joined by podcaster and YouTuber Robert Bacon to dive into her career and see if we should be “makin’ copies” of her albums for each other.
