Devil at My Heels
Album | 2024
GINNY LUKE has released her highly anticipated album, “Devil At My Heels,” a power-packed, good, old-fashioned headbanger meant to power up anyone in earshot. Released via KZZ Music/Blue Élan Records, the album features fellow female guitar shredders Orianthi and Nili Brosh (Danny Elfman). Luke not only showcases her Zeppelin-esque vocals but also unveils her signature move that has secured her performances alongside legends such as Meatloaf and Hozier: Her Electric Violin.
“The Electric Violin is the instrument of the album,” says Luke. “It’s synonymous with my voice.”
And her voice is just as impressive. Crediting her work with Producers Dave Darling (Glen Campbell, The Temptations) and Zackary Darling (Eric Gales, John 5), Luke tapped into a level of raw vocal performance that feels liberated, raw, full of force and aggression – the kind that’s meant to empower those around her, that’s not going to let anyone or anything stand in her way.
“I wrote this album so I could feel powerful listening to it,” Luke explains. “My whole life, the violin has been a symbol of refinement and beauty and manners – and I just want to defy that a little bit. I love embracing my feminine side, but I also want to embrace my masculine side and produce a loud, gritty, dirty tone.”
“I just want people to know how fierce they can be,” says Luke,” so I wrote this music to unite people through that energy and resilience. Because I needed music like this to feel my own power and work through my own challenges.”
With “Devil At My Heels,” Ginny Luke has now paid that forward.
