Margo Price Share New Brilliant Song “Long Live The King” and Announces Livestream Performance on May 21st
The new single “‘Long Live The King’ is about three extraordinary men who changed the course of history for the better,” says Margo Price. “But no one is without flaw and they each had a duality in their personalities. This song is also about not idolizing celebrities or putting people up on a pedestal because we are all human and we all make mistakes.”
Margo Price has finally released her song “Long Live The King” as an official single. A favourite of both Price and her fans, the lyrics serve as a tribute to Elvis Presley, Martin Luther King Jr. and John Lennon. As Price ascends from tender eulogies to belting leads, the arrangement erupts into a wall of horns, organ and gospel choir.
Over three monthly shipments, A Series of Rumors members will receive a limited edition, autographed box of 7” vinyl records featuring the music of Price’s 2020 album, That’s How Rumors Get Started, backed with exclusive B-sides, covers and unreleased collaborations. Some are lost songs from That’s How Rumors Get Started sessions at both Hollywood’s East West Studios and Nashville’s Butcher Shoppe; others are from pre-production sessions in Texas with Band of Heathens, or lockdown recordings with Price’s band The Pricetags.
For the initial installment, “Long Live The King” will appear as the B-side to Rumors highlight “Hey Child,” in addition to “Twinkle Twinkle” b/w Price’s take on Bobbie Gentry’s “He Made a Woman Out of Me,” and “Letting Me Down” b/w “I’d Die For You” (Synthphonic). The first set of records will ship now, and subscribers will receive their second/third deliveries in June/July.
All future B-sides will remain secret until they arrive to fans
