Watch Lindsay Ell Venture to the Dark Side in Lyric Video for New Single, 'Shut Me Up' — rollingstone.com

"I'm gonna be a megaphone, telling everybody how you did me wrong, the only switch that I got is on," Lindsay Ell repeats in the breakdown of her latest single, "Shut Me Up." It's a sharp contrast to the Canadian guitar goddess up-and-comer's carefree, puppy love-struck 2013 debut, "Trippin' on Us," which boasted the opening line, "goodbye heartache, catch you on another day." Well that other day has arrived, as on "Shut Me Up," love is on the rocks and Ell, jilted, is hellbent on letting the world know. But she doesn't sound like she's having any less fun shouting her two-timing ex-lover's transgressions from the rooftops. Despite imagery of truths that won't be duck-taped shut and sirens that won't be unplugged — lyrics courtesy of Grammy winning songwriters Zach Crowell, Brett James and Hillary Lindsey —  like "Trippin'," "Shut Up"'s sultry stanzas and slinky blues licks wrap around a swaggering four-on-the-floor groove fit for a country-rock stadium anthem.
