Manchester-based singer-songwriter Limbo Days have just released their new single “Man On The Moon“!

over the course of the past few years, Elliot has put out an incredibly strong run of singles that have really set him apart as one to watch on the scene, with a real aptitude for creating a soulful track that encompasses both emotion and musical ability. his songwriting ability allows him to convey his feelings and passion in a manner that’s easily relatable to any listener, proving his quality to create authentic and powerful music.

this new single “Man On The Moon” is true evidence of that quality, opening up with a luscious piano pattern that creates a gorgeous backdrop for the track, allowing for his vocal to take centre-stage as it flows effortlessly across the melody line, and with the addition of strings, saxophone and backing vocals, it envisions a dreamy soundscape that truly compliments the excellent songwriting. as it opens up into the chorus, the rhythm drops in and gives the track a proper groove behind it – the track has a real story to tell and it’s truly a wonderful listen!

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the new single “let me go” from Jenni Orlopp 👊

the Manchester-based alt-pop artist has a strong repertoire of music behind her already, with a run of singles and EP released, and her dark-wave styled genre-blending tracks have set her as one to definitely keep an eye out for ✨

this new single sounds incredible, right from the get-go it’s got a driving energy, with a dark and fierce synth line forming the base of the track, powerful rhythm complimenting the groove and her vocal takes centre-stage, delivering personal and raw lyricism expertly. she utilises flowing melodies throughout the track, with guitar riffs and synth runs that work in unison to create a vivid atmosphere within the song; she’s able to paint a fascinating picture through the track, with an incredible use of lyricism, instrumentation and production. 🌠

you can find the single on all streaming platforms, including on Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/album/1ZWUzQ967x8LnjYFdZT79V – well worth a listen 🎧
