Natalie Del Carmen hits ‘The Highway’ in her new video filmed in Los Angeles valley. Shot in black and white Del Carmen is seen strolling through the hillside performing the song. This is the second single she has collaborated with Zack Burke to record. The recording features a banjo that was once owned by her grandfather.
“’The Highway’ is the kind of song that I can embrace the twang of my grandfather’s 1930s banjo and it be at the forefront of the production completely. While the tuning pegs slip from time to time and may not always hit the notes right on, the banjo is full of character. While Zack Burke and I ended up tracking a modern banjo for the bulk of the final stems, there are still those original hidden banjo lines in there that give ’The Highway’ a vintage charm that I adore.”
