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 that King wrote on the banjo, "Good to Be a Man" was the song that got King signed with RCA. [4] All four tracks from the EP appear as Japan bonus tracks on King’s 2015 debut studio album Love Stuff.
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]
