Karen Elson

Karen Elson is a multifaceted British artist known not just for her modeling career but also for her distinctive presence in the music world. Born on January 14, 1979, in Oldham, Greater Manchester, Elson made a striking figure in the fashion industry with her pre-Raphaelite looks and flaming red hair, before emerging as a talented musician. Her musical career took a definitive turn with the release of her debut album, "The Ghost Who Walks," in 2010, produced by her then-husband Jack White, which showcased her penchant for folk and alternative country, laced with a haunting and ethereal vibe.

Since then, Karen Elson has continued to charm audiences with releases that weave together her sultry voice with an atmospheric blend of Americana, indie and gothic folk elements. Her discography includes a well-received second studio album "Double Roses" (2017), which further cemented her ability to articulate emotion through lyrics and sound. By exploring more personal themes and refining her musical identity, Elson has earned respect in the musical sphere. Her more recent releases, such as "Green (Deluxe)," "Radio Redhead, Vol. 1," and the poignant single "Call Your Name," continue to reveal an artist who embraces evolution, adds depth to her work, and connects with listeners through vulnerable storytelling and melodic craftsmanship.
