Nico Padden is a one-woman folk-rock riot. It’s a statement fully supported by her new album, Pirate Queen (Jan. 28), which celebrates the strength of the fierce, brave women in her life – including herself. “The Last Time,” out today, is a no-nonsense breakup song, a battle cry of sorts that clearly expresses Padden’s approach to men and relationships. It's the second single from the album, which offers a mix of Americana, vintage pop/rock and folk.

“It’s about the beauty of being alive and the courage that can take,” Hamilton says of the album’s title track, a theme that also weaves throughout the album as a whole.

Those skills translate on his upcoming album, Wildflower.
