Sounds | Elvie Shane - Does Heaven Have A Creek

et soort song dat ik eigenlijk na 15" wil stoppen en verder negeren. Iets fluisterde me echter in dat ik hier toch wat meer geduld moest hebben. En kijk, Elvie laat een stroperig begin lekker soulvol openbreken, zeker wanneer hij er vocaal tegenaan gaat. Visueel gaat hij er dan echter los over en moet ik wegkijken. Vlug terug naar de muziek dus en die mag er wel zijn.

Damascus verschijnt op 19 april 2024 via Wheelhouse Records / BMG.

Ter Info

Written solo in the days before recording his imminent album Damascus, “Does Heaven Have A Creek” came from a question Shane once asked himself following the passing of his grandmother, about what really matters, and what comes next. His alluring vocals take you to church, with the heartland hymn serving as another reminder of how the Kentucky native "forces you to rethink anything you think you know, or assume, about the genre’s Music Row bros” (Stereogum).

“‘Does Heaven Have A Creek’ is simply the wondering mind of a believer,” said Shane. “A testimony of hope that Heaven has a few of the simple pleasures we enjoy here on earth. Is Heaven only for A-List Christians? Is there room for a prodigal ‘Good Ole Boy’ from Kentucky just trying to live a decent life and be a good man?” 

About Elvie Shane:

With a gritty-yet-gracious fusion of heartland rock and modern country, Kentucky native Elvie Shane has made the conscious decision to aim for impact with his upcoming sophomore release Damascus out April 19. The dynamic project of extremes and deep empathy, sharp-edged fusion of country, rock, hip-hop tells the deeply-layered tale of Shane’s journey – one that countless others struggle to navigate each day. Shane "bravely wrote" (American Songwriter) the album’s lead track “Pill” as a love letter to those struggling with addiction, a reminder that it’s never too late to come back home. It was another shared life experience that earned Shane his Platinum-certified Number One debut, “My Boy.” The tender tribute to the unconditional love of stepparents took Shane from a country road to the top of the charts, touring the country’s biggest stages as well as overseas and racked up over 400 million streams and counting. The track helped launch Shane’s debut album BACKSLIDER, which was hailed by critics from Billboard and Rolling Stone to the Nashville Scene and beyond, earning spots on many "Best Of” lists alongside new artist nominations from the ACM Awards, CMT Music Awards and iHeartRadio Music Awards.
