Last Word is the latest musical rendezvous between Nick Howe and Alice Hills, serving up a delightful blend of introspective folk-pop goodness. Picture gentle acoustic strums, harmonies so sweet they could make your heart skip a beat, and lyrics as warm as a cozy blanket on a chilly day. But here’s the twist: it’s not your typical love song. Nope, it’s about that awkward moment when you’re trying to salvage a sinking ship of a relationship that’s already taken its final plunge. Yet, despite the somber theme, Howe and Hills infuse it with a playful charm that’ll have you tapping your toes and nodding along with knowing smiles.
