On May 15, Lisa Marie Presley will release Storm and Grace –her first album in five years and her Universal Republic/XIX Recordings debut. Presley is managed by Simon Fuller, CEO and Founder of XIX Entertainment. The album was produced by 12-time GRAMMY® winner T Bone Burnett and recorded at The Village in Los Angeles. See below for track listing. Storm and Grace is a marked departure from the hard-edged sound of Presley’s earlier albums – 2003’s RIAA Gold-certified To Whom It May Concern and 2005’s Now What, both of which debuted in the Top 10 of The Billboard 200. The organic instrumentation of Storm and Grace reflects her Southern roots, from the ominous, swampy vibe of lead single “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” and “Sticks And Stones” to “Soften The Blows”and the achingly beautiful title track, which evoke the ease of an impromptu back porch jam session.
