Nicholas Campbell writes a summer barn-burner with “Here Alone”
Nicholas Campbell, a barebones rockabilly star en route from Peterborough, Ontario, is here to walk his way into your ears, your life, and then your heart with the upcoming release of his next single, “Here Alone.”Â
Coming off the back of a short break after Nicholas’ debut album, Livin’ and Other Western Ideas (2021), the young artist is here with another timeless blend of Rockabilly sensibilities, classic rock inspirations, and a healthy dash of straight-up country charm.
Developing his emerging signature sound ever further, Campbell’s “Here Alone” offers an irresistible, bluesy, rock n’ roll groove that demands your attention from the outset. This Chuck Berry-esque barnburner grabs us immediately with its driven, bouncy guitar part and frenzied yet focused honky-tonk keys. The track is short, sweet, and sure to stick in your mind all day long.
Featuring expert production from both Nicholas himself and James McKenty (Blue Rodeo, Willie Nelson, Gordon Lightfoot), “Here Alone” brings us a throwback sound outfitted with modern sensibilities. The track’s classic aesthetic pairs with a contemporary context, giving us our fix of old-school without lacking relevance in today’s music world.Â
