Shake the Spirit is the second studio album by American singer Elle King, released on October 19, 2018 by RCA Records.

[1] Billboard said it is "a cathartic, rough-edged diary entry of a project that couldn't be more personal".

"[1] Eric R. Danton of Paste said the album "plays like a kind of musical revue, with nods at muscular rock, old-school spy movie songs, vintage soul, '60s girl groups and tunes that blend elements of all four", but that they do not "hang together as a group, which gives Shake the Spirit a scattershot feel.

It's an Elle King album, to be sure—her voice is what stitches these songs together, though what is probably supposed to be evidence of her range often feels like she's trying on musical costumes.

The result is a lack of cohesion that turns Shake the Spirit into a series of genre exercises.
