Just The Crust 21/02/22: Minerva Daisy – Something Strange ๐Ÿ

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Minervadaisy “Something Strange”! ๐Ÿค˜

we’ve known Minni for a good while now, having featured her previous singles and had her perform at many of our gigs and she always excels! what a songwriter! ๐Ÿต each of her singles have been absolutely fantastic and this one only proves that even further. ๐Ÿ˜Š

with her usual melodic piano lines, haunting vocals and image-inducing storytelling, this new single sounds superb! โ˜€๏ธ we love the chorus, a real huge one that’s definitely a singalong. the band really add a new dimension to this track, really driving the song along and giving it so much space to flow – plus Minerva’s vocal sounds brilliant, with so much dynamic to it, going from calm to opening up to belting it out in the chorus, what a talent! ๐Ÿ“ผ

head on over to her Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GuTJ34qFjZ8bdSqhLCD9I to check the tune out in full, and have a gander at her previous releases which are also amazing! ๐Ÿ’ฟ fantastic stuff. great to see so much brilliant music coming out lately!
