Marking our point of entry into Nate Currin’s longstanding artistic universe, ‘The Highway’ has completely captured us, thanks to its highly poignant outlook and heartwarming sonic character. Framed into evocative alt-folk, the piece benefits from Currin’s nuanced, vibrant vocals, here unfurling a ballad-driven musical journey packed with wholesome energy and personal honesty. Detailing the aftermath of a breakup, ‘The Highway’ doesn’t surrender to pain and melancholy, instead embracing a hopeful, tender allure.
Hope never dies. Currin knows that well, penning ‘The Highway’ as an intimate tribute to a deeply desired lover. Yet, he must reconcile with the fact that he’s still out there hoping, still on ‘the highway’, so to speak. Introduced by gracious guitars and cathartic pianos, the track moves with urgency and confidence, never overstepping its romantic bounds. The energy rises towards the end, with the record ending in cinematic and anthemic fashion.
Furthermore, ‘The Highway’ ships with a stunning music video, a series of sombre visuals depicting a long drive from Nashville to Michigan as a potential destiny-powered trip. The imagery and metaphors in it connect the concept of travelling with romantic unrest, enhancing the fact that Currin’s heart is still walking the path to authentic love.
