Natalie Del Carmen heads out on The Highway in her new single — showcasing today on Tinnitist.
Native Angelino Del Carmen’s new single is a song that encapsulates the vast array of emotions one encounters during a seemingly simple and routine highway drive. Drawing on her folk-Americana roots and infusing them with a pop sensibility, the singer-songwriter crafts a musical narrative that is both deeply personal and expansively universal. The Highway stands out as a testament to her ability to blend genres, offering listeners a heartfelt journey through sound, and is now available to stream and download.
In The Highway, Del Carmen invites listeners on a journey of emotional depth and growth, accompanied by the soothing strums of her acoustic guitar and heartfelt vocals. The song uses the act of driving as a metaphor for moving on and forward in life, displaying the universal experience of processing emotions behind the wheel. She sees driving as a way for many to reflect and find clarity, a theme poignantly captured in her soulful single. This track encourages listeners to release their pent-up thoughts and appreciate the world’s beauty and the opportunities life presents.
Through her lyrics, Del Carmen showcases her sincerity and passion, weaving her message with a captivating combination of wit and charm. She aims to remind us that, much like driving, life moves quickly, urging us not to get stuck in one moment and instead embrace the journey ahead. Following her previous single, You Weren’t Even Listening, Del Carmen has once again collaborated with Zack Burke (Blackbear, Berner), a Billboard chart-topping producer, to bring The Highway to life.
A storyteller at heart, Del Carmen began her musical journey at the tender age of eight and has not looked back since. Her music is a constant in her life, a “busy body” that never ceases to inspire and move with her through life’s chapters. Now, at the age of 22, with a solid foundation and a clear vision, she is poised to leave an indelible mark on the Americana scene. Fresh off the success of her debut album Bloodline and her EP Tandem Songs, she continues to charm listeners with her unique blend of folk, soul, and pop sensibility. The single is a testament to her growth as an artist and her unwavering dedication to her craft, which she honed while studying at Berklee College of Music and continues to refine with her trusty companion: Her grandfather’s 1930s banjo.
