A spin-off of a classic.
Lola Kirke teams up with Sweedish folk duo First Aid Kit for a twist on George Strait’s “All My Exes Live In Texas” with their single “All My Exes Live In L.A.” The lineup to make this song come to life is incredible, with Elle King serving as the producer.
As Los Angeles seems like the “it” hub these days, the change of location in the title is beyond fitting.
“ALL MY EXES LIVE IN LA” IS HERE, SO I CAN FINALLY STOP ASKING YOU TO PRE-SAVE AND START TELLING YOU TO LISTEN!
I love this song and so many of the people who brought it to life!
I never thought I’d be so lucky to have Elle King produce my music and First Aid Kit sing on it!”
Kirke takes listeners through her dating history, making light fun of the characters she has dated over the years.
“First came, ol’ sunglasses inside
Then the one who wouldn’t let me drive
Then along came the one with the long hair just like mine
Then the one with the cowboy hat
Rhinestones and all of that
Then the one with the suit and tie
A little too nice, so I had to say, “Bye.”
I’m peacin’ out and adiosin’
Couple of ’em, I’m just ghostin’.”
Kirke also nods in her lyrics to the originator of “All My Exes Live In Texas” during the chorus. It would be wrong to make a single like this and not give appreciation to The King.
“All my exes livе in L.A
So I’m a make a George and hеad straight
For the mountains or the desert or my mama’s or anywhere else.”
The catchy twangs in the song are sure to have you nodding your head along. “All My Exes Live In L.A.” is a well-curated twist on a classic and well-loved song.
Fire up this little ditty on your drive home today.
