There’s only one Tina Turner, and she’s retired, so let Elle King give you your bluesy, rootsy, rock n roll fix when you’re jonesing for the call of a wild woman.
It was just last year that Elle King started getting significant notice, with critical acclaim for her album “Love Stuff,” which garnered her two Grammy nominations, for Best Rock Song and for Best Rock Performance.
Her current follow-up, “Under the Influence,” already Top 20 in Billboard, is more a heart wrench than a heartache: such turmoil! She loves the son-of-a-bitch, what can you do?”
There’s a hint of a movie theme like quality to the song and you can hear those elements in Tina Turner’s soulful singing of “Golden Eye,” for the 1995 movie, with Pierce Brosnan as James Bond.
