The singer premieres her new single on NYLON.
Lola Kirke is your favorite New Yorker making contemporary country music. Kirke’s music has always had country sensibilities: longing melodies, slide guitars, and a palpable sense of the past. But for her Elle King-produced EP,, out February 16, Kirke wanted to channel country radio hits of today, not yesteryear.
NYLON spoke to Kirke about “He Says Y’all,” her country music curiosities, and about watching Elle King busk in Washington Square Park when they were teenagers.I'm from New York City and I fell in love with country music many years ago and have always kind of made country-inspired music. With this latest EP I wanted to commit and go full country. Not necessarily the more retro-sounding country that I had been making, but more country that you might hear on the radio today.
Is there a moment when you realized you wanted to make something that was so much more overtly contemporary?
