Just The Crust 12/05/25: Naomi Campbell – Remembering ☀️

12th May 202512th May 2025artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Remembering” from Naomi Campbell! 🙌

we loved her previous single “Don’t You Mind“, having reviewed it when it came out in November of last year, and she’s had an incredible run of gigs since then – we were stoked for this new single! ☀️

“Remembering” takes influence from a variety of genres, including soul, r&b, 60’s and even 70’s rock – it’s a gorgeous tune, and she’s blended all of these genres expertly to create something she can truly call her own style. there’s so much atmosphere present within the track, with a range of instruments all working in perfect unison to form the basis, and Naomi’s vocal takes centre-stage with it’s power, commanding the listener’s attention, yet with raw and personal lyricism that truly conveys her emotions in a poetic manner. it’s a fantastic listen and a great first track of 2025 for her – we can’t wait for even more! 🎶

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/2CPBzLVxvKa2az8avfD1Xu – make sure to check it out alongside her previous tunes, you won’t regret it 🎧

Just The Crust 05/05/25: The Velvetines – Where do you go? 👊

5th May 2025artist, bread, just the crust, local scene, new music, review, videoLeave a Comment

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from The Velvetines, “Where do you go?” 💥

the Bolton-based indie/rock outfit have taken this year by storm, having performed across the North West at various venues, and releasing two singles that have done superbly, they’ve really cemented their position as ones to watch on the upcoming scene. 👊

this new single sounds fantastic, it’s a lovely contrast to their previous track, taking a more acoustic and moody approach to the tune – opening with a dark and atmospheric sound, feeling up close and personal with the band, really bringing you into the mellow feel of the song. it opens up with more production, bringing in a melodic piano to back the acoustic guitar, and flowing effortlessly to the final chorus of the song. 🎧

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/track/7hjEu3I18m2MdsXH8GGVIU?si=ea2def85e0414215 – well worth checking out! 🎶
