Lisa Marie Presley’s first album in seven years, Storm & Grace, scheduled for release on May 15, 2012<\/p>\n
Produced by T. Bone Burnett, Album Marks Her Universal Republic\/XIX Recordings Debut<\/p>\n
On May 15, Lisa Marie Presley will release Storm &Grace<\/em> – her first album in seven years and her Universal Republic\/XIX Recordings debut. Presley is managed by Simon Fuller, CEO and Founder of XIX Entertainment. The album was produced by 12-time GRAMMY\u00ae winner T Bone Burnett and recorded at The Village in Los Angeles. See below for track listing.<\/p>\n Storm & Grace<\/em>\u00a0is a marked departure from the hard-edged sound of Presley’s earlier albums – 2003’s RIAA Gold-certified To Whom It May Concern<\/em> and 2005’s Now What<\/em>, both of which debuted in the Top 10 of The Billboard<\/em> 200. The organic instrumentation of\u00a0Storm & Grace<\/em> reflects her Southern roots, from the ominous, swampy vibe of lead single “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet<\/em>” and “Sticks And Stones<\/em>” to “Soften The Blows<\/em>” and the achingly beautiful title track, which evoke the ease of an impromptu back porch jam session.<\/p>\n Presley’s smoldering alto is hypnotic in the rootsy opener “Over Me<\/em>” as she reflects on being replaced in a lover’s affections. While\u00a0Storm & Grace<\/em> offers an unflinching examination of life and love – beginning with her own shortcomings on “Un-Break<\/em>” – there is a tender, consoling thread that runs throughout, pointing towards peace and reconciliation. “Weary<\/em>” may concern a relationship that didn’t work out, but it is suffused with a genuine warmth, as Presley sings: “I will always love you\/you can move on, dear.”<\/p>\n “Just over two years ago, I went to England to attempt to write another record after finding myself in a considerably disheartened and uninspired state creatively. Over an eight-month period, I wrote 30 songs. I was fortunate to be able to write with some incredible artists and singers such as Richard Hawley (from Pulp), Ed Harcourt, Sacha Skarbek and Fran Healy (from Travis), to name a few,” recalls Lisa Marie Presley. “Nothing was planned or contrived in any way and out of it came a very organic record that was always inside of me and that I am incredibly proud of. It was a dream come true and such an honor when T Bone liked the songs and produced and played on the record.”<\/p>\n “When songs from Lisa Marie Presley showed up at my door, I was curious. I wondered what the daughter of an American revolutionary music artist had to say. What I heard was honest, raw, unaffected and soulful. I thought her father would be proud of her. The more I listened to the songs, the deeper an artist I found her to be. Listening beyond the media static, Lisa Marie Presley is a Southern American folk music artist of great value,” says T Bone Burnett.<\/p>\n “Her rich, smoky vocals evoke Sheryl Crow and occasionally bear traces of Courtney Love’s ragged disaffection,” said Entertainment Weekly<\/em> of Presley’s debut album, To Whom It May Concern<\/em>, while the Los Angeles Times<\/em> called the lead single, “Lights Out<\/em>,” “one of the most hauntingly personal songs” of the year. AllMusic.com<\/em> praised Now What<\/em> as “genuine…due largely to her willingness to lay herself bare in her music and lyrics.” While it may differ sonically,\u00a0Storm & Grace<\/em> is equally revealing.<\/p>\n Track Listing – Storm and Grace<\/p>\n 1.
