“Burn” is available now on all digital outlets, including her official YouTube page.
As LUKE exclaims, “’Burn’ is a rock classic and I’m excited to make a statement by blending classical virtuosity with my style of rock electric violin. It was a blast to collaborate with incredible guitarist Nili Brosh on this and combine our energies to make this rendition really fiery.”
Devil at My Heels combines melody, muscle, and message into an irresistible and immaculately executed 12 tracks bristling with anthemic hooks, soaring singing, and Luke’s signature approach to violin as a scintillating rock instrument.
Her signature sound is boldly evidenced in the title track featuring Orianthi, which was released earlier this year as the first single and video which has already racked up over 34,000 views and can be seen on Luke’s official YouTube page. The album’s second single, “Yeah Yeah Yeah,” is out now on all digital outlets, including her official YouTube page. “It’s badass melodic rock with scorching violin,” Luke enthused. “And a declaration of my autonomy and the journey of understanding my human experience.”
GINNY LUKE has already made a name for herself for over a decade performing the violin on albums and as part of live appearances with artists spanning all genres of music, including Foo Fighters, Snoop Dogg, Bebe Rexha, Finneas, Nicki Minaj, Meat Loaf, and most recently as part of AJR’s U.S. tour. She’s also a USC adjunct instructor at the Thornton School of Music. Now it’s time for her to step into her own spotlight and stand front-and-center as a singular new rock star with stunning musical pedigree, fiercely resonating vocals, and brave, timely lyrics exploring personal liberation and empowerment.
Born in Dubuque, IA, Luke has always been a songwriter and solo artist, who began releasing instrumental albums as early as age 9. With so much top tier recording and performing experience and a catalog of world-class compositions, it was time to not only showcase her songwriting and singing on Devil at My Heels, but also to share a sexual assault experience as a cathartic and inspiring reclaiming of her identity.
“I want to be in control of the message and the emotional environment I create,” said Luke, an outspoken advocate for women and young musicians. “With this amount of musical experience under my belt, I have a lot to say. And I want women to be more courageous, so I feel like I’m leading by example.”
Produced by Dave Darling (Def Leppard, Brian Setzer) and Zackary Darling (John 5, Eric Gales) and influenced by the likes of Dorothy lead singer Dorothy Martin and Stevie Ray Vaughan, Devil at My Heels is an unapologetic alchemy of big riffs, huge hooks, and brave statements. Luke’s vocals ooze sexual energy and Joan Jett swagger, her album further set apart by fiery electric violin that brazenly bucks preconceptions of that instrument.
“The Electric Violin is the instrument of the album,” says Luke. “It’s synonymous with my voice.” And her voice is just as impressive. 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.
Electric violinist GINNY LUKE released a rousing cover of Deep Purple’s “Burn,” featuring powerhouse guitar virtuoso Nili Brosh (Dethklok/Danny Elfman). This latest single comes from her forthcoming debut solo vocal album, Devil at My Heels, due out November 1 on KZZ Music/Blue Élan Records. With a bow in hand, she channels the raw energy of the iconic track while infusing it with her signature rock-classical style. Her electric violin soars through it along with Brosh, creating a dynamic soundscape that captures the essence of rock and roll.
