In a riveting blend of dark, dirty swamp blues and social commentary, K.K. Hammond takes a stand with her latest release, spotlighting the often unseen struggles of female artists in the digital age.
LONDON, ENGLAND UK – April 5, 2024 – In the latest turn of her illustrious career, slide blues guitarist, singer and songwriter, The Curse of K.K. Hammond announces the release of her newest single and video, “She Is My Precious,” set to debut on April 5th. Renowned for her signature blend of dark, dirty swamp blues, this release from Hammond follows a string of successful hits, including her March 2023 concept album “Death Roll Blues” and her acclaimed October 2023 interpretation of Nirvana’s “Heart Shaped Box.” Both have solidified her position atop the iTunes Blues Charts on both sides of the Atlantic and within the top 10 of the Billboard Blues Charts.
“She Is My Precious” emerges from the shadows as a tongue-in-cheek yet poignant reflection on the invasive nature of digital fan engagement, particularly the challenges faced by artists in the spotlight. Drawing inspiration from the Dirty or ‘Bawdy’ blues sub-genre, Hammond’s latest work is a personal anthem against unsolicited digital advances, showcasing her adeptness at blending critical social commentary with her musical prowess.
