The country singer-songwriter Nikki Lane has announced a new album. Denim & Diamonds is out September 23 via New West. The album was produced and mixed by Queens of the Stone Age’s Joshua Homme, and it features his bandmates Alain Johannes, Dean Fertita, and Michael Shuman. Arctic Monkeys’ Matt Helders and Autolux’s Carla Azar also appear on the album. Check out the Jocelyn Cooper–directed video for the lead single “First High” below.
