Just The Crust 28/03/22: Craig Lee and the Humblebees – He Can’t Help Looking At The Time 🍕

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Craig Lee and the Humblebees “He Can’t Help Looking At The Time”! 🤘

we’ve had Craig on our radar for a while now, he’s got some solid singles under his belt with a proper unique style mixing indie rock and 50/60’s rock and roll to really bring out a nostalgic and upbeat sound to his music! 😊

this new single sounds fantastic, with lovely lyricism throughout, his vocal sounds great and effortlessly glides across the track and the hook is super catchy! 👊 a real top tune from these guys. it has a proper summery feel with its upbeat energy, all of the instruments compliment each other so well and it’s just a really well-crafted tune! definitely one to keep an eye out for. 😎

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, along with his previous singles which are well worth giving a listen to as well. 😁 find Craig on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/4TW1kuyPJO7mJhOtxgc8pK – drop him a follow to keep up to date with any new music!
