When COVID-19 shut down the film industry, Nic dove headfirst into his love of music and created a compelling and authentic EP exploring the mixed emotions of love, loss and change. In his third single, “In Line”, Hamilton leans into pop-rock, with a heavy, funky bassline guiding the listener throughout the song. The pain in Nic’s voice is audible as he battles with leaving the town where he formed his childhood memories. The track’s contemporary post-chorus brings what could have been a 70’s rock ballad back into modernity, as Hamilton serenades his blossoming, yet chaotic adulthood into existence.
