Nick Cain’s new single, “Out of the Blue,” is out today alongside an intimate lyric video. The song is a phenomenal debut, an emotional handshake between the audience and the musician.
“Out of the Blue” begins with dense jamming from no less than ACM’s 2023 Acoustic Guitar Player of the Year, Tim Galloway, providing a thoughtful, warm tone before unfurling into something much larger. Cain’s voice, honest and a little frayed and full of soul, moves through the verses like a friend recounting a story over some late-night coffee.
Cain encapsulates that feeling of a mad rush exploring a new destination or a new romantic love, just as you thought the credits were about to roll. It’s that heart-clutching combination of timing, good luck, that transforms his track from another love song into an anthem of second chances.
Cain writes, "Out of the Blue" is a story about how life’s best moments sometimes come when you least expect them. The song’s production plays along with pedal steel and has a cinematic quality to it, while gentle keys drape the track in a soft, golden glow.
“Out of the Blue” doesn't strain to please. It doesn’t have to. It gets your attention with emotional candor and keeps it with musical craftsmanship. The result is a song that’s lived-in, timeless, and optimistic. If you've ever needed a reminder that life can sometimes surprise you in the best ways, this one’s for you.
