our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new album from the genre-bending artist Bonneville, “New Lady“! 🌙

having released a bunch of already great singles over the past year or so, she’s made a name for herself with intricate pop melodies, delicate and intrinsic lyricwork, and taking influence from the likes of country, rnb and jazz – all whilst maintaining a unique styling that she can call her own. the latest single “Chimpanzee” dropped on the 22nd March, along with the full album! 💿

there’s a real sense of a conversation in each of the tracks, an intimate opening up of feelings and emotions – feeling like an effortless conversing between friends set to a luscious backdrop, consisting of pianos, guitars and a delicate production process; with a perfect balance to each song, complimenting the nature of each track superbly to ensure that there’s a real meaning to each of them. 🎧

you can find the album in full on all streaming sites, including on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eWwJLmcOrLKNfjkLAUeXV – give it a spin, well worth checking out! 🌙

Just The Crust 01/05/23: Champagne On The Rocks – Golden Hour ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Champagne On The Rocks UK “Golden Hour“!

we caught these guys live last year or so and were amazed by their energetic stage presence and slick lyrical ability, and their debut single “Malibu” sounds fantastic – this new tune only expands on their talent!

led by a lovely melodic guitar pattern, paired with a country-esque lead riff – it sets a gorgeous backdrop for the calm and composed main vocal to sit above. the relaxed atmosphere is a lovely breath of fresh air in a music scene that often relies on heavier elements to keep the energy going, and the lyricism on this is lovely, a real outburst of feeling and emotion. as the track progresses, the drums give it a new element of energy without taking away from the relaxed atmosphere of the track, and it sounds fantastic. well worth a listen!

you can find it on all of the streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/3vFQq1saL9BjqUPLYunf56 – give it a spin and add it to your playlists!

Just The Crust 10/10/22: Lisa T – The Best Kept Secret ☀️

10th Oct 202210th Oct 2022artist, 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 “The Best Kept Secret” from one of our favourite americana-songwriters on the scene, Lisa T featuring Elaine Lennon Music

we’ve covered Lisa’s music in the past and we’re huge fans of her music, blending a lovely country-americana sound with brilliant visual storytelling, really putting her full emotions into each song and delivering so well with every single release she’s put out so far

the track is laden with gorgeous piano runs, giving such a breathe of fresh air to the track – complimenting the lyrics so well, a real lovely outlook on life, giving a real positive feeling towards it all. as it progresses after the first chorus, the track expands out with so much instrumentation that only adds to the feel of the song. the violins, guitars and huge beat behind the track give a real apt backing to Lisa’s vocal here, so well produced! we love the guitar solo too, almost a call and response feel with the violin melodies, brilliantly done.

you can find the track in full over on Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/album/7mJteCGjtlVv3dN6htvyQA – available on all streaming sites as well. another fantastic release from Lisa! we can’t wait to see how far she goes with tunes like this.
