Darci Lynne sure knows how to sing the blues!

On September 8, the America’s Got Talent Season 12 Winner did a badass cover of “Trouble” by Elvis Presley. In the clip posted to her official Instagram page, she sang a capella in the kitchen, adding the perfect amount of grit to her voice. She was also clearly having a bit of fun with her version, channeling the King of rock ‘n’ roll with silly dance moves and laughing at the end of the video with her mom.
“Me .5 seconds after watching the Austin Butler Elvis movie,” she captioned the post, referring to the 2022 Oscar nominated film Elvis.
What to know about “Trouble” by Elvis Presley
A blues-rock tune written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stroller, “Trouble” was first performed by Presley in the 1958 film King Creole. In the scene, Presley plays the lead character, Danny Fisher, who sings the song in order to impress a girl and is later offered a gig performing at a night club.

Presley performed the song 10 years later as the opening for his Singer Presents…Elvis broadcast concert on NBC. According to Financial Times, the performance of “Trouble” was considered to be a major comeback for Presley.
Darci Lynne releases new single
In a July 23 Instagram video, Lynne announced the release of her latest single, “Better Late Than Never,” which is currently available to stream on all popular streaming platforms.
The star even gave fans an a cappella performance of the new tune to whet their appetites for the studio version.
While Lynne will never shy away from the ventriloquism skills that made her a household name, she’s eager to prove that she’s a more well-rounded performer — and she’ll have that opportunity to prove that throughout her U.S. tour.

“I don’t really want to be known as just the puppet girl or just a singing ventriloquist,” Lynne confessed in a 2017 interview with The Oklahoman. “I want to be known as the performer, singer, ventriloquist, actress, Broadway star, all of it. I want to do it all.”
