REVIEW: Sleeping Together – Money & Nicotine 💥

we’re proper made up to be able to bring you this review of Sleeping Together‘s brand new single “Money & Nicotine” out today! ⚡️

back in August we covered their debut single “Summer Girl“, an infectious summery indie-pop anthem that has set them as ones to watch in the North West, getting coverage all over the place and really setting the bar for their releases. we proper loved it, a fantastic first tune from the lads, with gorgeous guitar melodies, catchy choruses and a massive sound to it.

they’ve returned with another belter, matching the energy and power of the first single and really setting them as a force to be reckoned with. touching on a heavier sound, especially in the second chorus, they’ve shown that they’re a versatile band who are able to utilise dynamics so well, but still having that jangly and upbeat element to their tunes.

the synth lines throughout the track compliment the bands’ guitar licks and Alex’s main vocal so well, giving a lovely balance of melodies that fuse together to keep the track flowing so well – the massive sound of the chorus as well, it’s an incredible testament to their talents. we’re huge fans of the songwriting here also, feeling like the track flowed flawlessly as it was being written, almost effortless lyricism but tells the story of the tune superbly. fantastic stuff!

you can find the track on all streaming sites, go and drop it a stream and add it to your pre-night out playlists – another feel-good anthem from these lads. we can’t wait to see how far they go with tunes like these! 🍞

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

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. 😎
