Nikki Lane on Highway Queen
Bandcamp recently posted an insightful interview with Nikki Lane in which they discuss her upcoming Feb 14th album, Highway Queen, her aesthetic and what it means to be an “artist.†That last bit could be deemed a little controversial because it openly recognizes a curated look and feel; both to the music and to the Nikki Lane persona. Does that make the entire undertaking insincere or just wisely crafted to appeal to a particular audience? That’s some good discussion for your next writer’s roundtable discussion.
Aside from that, take some time to watch the video for “Jackpot†and preview the song exclusives here.
