Review
Nick Cain bares his heart on “Boomerang”, a tender reflection on the cycle of toxic attachment. Released 23 October, the Pacific Northwest artist delivers warm guitar strums, subtle percussion, and a vocal honesty that lingers long after the track ends. The lyrics capture that uneasy truth—that sometimes it feels easier to return to familiar pain than to face the silence of letting go. A latecomer to music who found his calling during the pandemic, Cain sings with the urgency of someone making up for lost time. “Boomerang” proves he’s already found his voice.
