The Elle King EP is an EP by singer-songwriter Elle King, her debut release, released June 12, 2012.[1][2] The song "Playing for Keeps" was used as the theme song for Mob Wives Chicago.[3][1] The second song written by King on the banjo, "Good to Be a Man", resulted in her receiving a recording contract with RCA Records.[4]
King mixed up various styles on the songs on her EP, from a defiant growl to mournful to lascivious. She doesn't believe that "people listen to albums as a kind of whole, cohesive record anymore, anyway." She thinks that "the one thing that ties through all my different sounds is my voice, and I think we're all just trying to figure out how to tie everything around that."[5]
