“The Highway Queen don’t need no king,” declares Americana icon-in-the-making Nikki Lane, in the title track of her forthcoming record, set for release on February 17, 2017 via New West Records. The album, poised to be Lane’s major mainstream breakthrough, is a journey through heartbreak that takes exquisite turns; from whiskey-soaked laments to rollicking bangers to Everly Brothers-inspired dreaminess, Highway Queen explores the journey of heartbreak, failed relationships, and the wild rides in between. “Love is the most unavoidable thing in the world,” Lane says. “The person you pick could be half set-up to destroy your life with their own habits — I’ve certainly experienced that before and taken way too long to get out of that mistake.”
Shot on location in Mt. Airy, North Carolina, Lane’s new video features our fearless heroine as she drives over cars, monster truck-style. Check it out:
