Just The Crust 13/10/25: Natalie Holmes – Alone Time 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Alone Time” from Natalie Holmes! 🎵

the final single from her upcoming album out next week, it sounds fantastic – we reviewed her previous single “To Be A Woman” and her songwriting talent is incredible, we love her ability to convey such complex emotions and feelings through real and down-to-earth lyricism ✍️

this single sounds so lovely, with a gorgeous synth-pop element to it, it flows superbly and effortlessly, and creates a great lo-fi atmosphere that matches the tone of the lyricism expertly, allowing the listener to really connect with the story, it’s a really honest and personal track that sounds incredible. 🤝 we can’t wait to hear the full album!

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, and there’s a full music video on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9W8zLnW2m8 – well worth a watch! 🎧
