a proper bubblegum pop banger, this was stuck in our heads for so long – such a tune. produced by @keepshtum and featuring @szoumusicuk – a slight variation to the kinda music we usually put out but we love it nonetheless! 🎶

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from PHIA SKY “supermoon“!
after a string of incredible releases throughout the past few years, and work in bands and acts across Manchester, PHIA SKY has returned with her first release since 2021 – and it sounds as good as ever, an incredible return for the electro-pop songwriter.
with an incredible creative electronic atmosphere surrounding the track, and a beautiful use of dynamic to really make the song pop, this one’s definitely one to check out. the use of contrasting synthesisers and sounds blend so well with one another, creating an eerie yet awe-inspiring backdrop for PHIA’s vocals to soar over, and really highlights her unique and intricate songwriting. the gorgeous soundscape of the track is present throughout, albeit in differing forms, yet maintaining a lovely sense of continuity throughout and ensuring that PHIA is one to watch here in the North West.
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Flowers Of Evil + The strangerz “Out of Bed“!
we’ve been huge fans of Flowers of Evil since we heard their track “Cherry-AID” last year, with their infectious energy, smooth groove and unexpected track flow and structure, they really put themselves as a force to be reckoned with on the North West scene!
this new single only reinforces their infectious upbeat style, with a gorgeous hook right from the get-go, only to explode into a huge electronic melody that’s sure to get anyone grooving. the dynamic of this song is lush, dropping away and breaking down immediately to push the focus on the vocal, becoming super intimate and proving their musical prowess. the balance between the verses and the choruses is expertly handled, it’s very difficult to create a contrast like this but they’ve pulled it off, the groove of the track is lovely and it flows super well.
the production of the song is fantastic, with really intrinsically created soundscapes, it keeps the attention of the listener so well and there’s a whole bunch of stuff going on, without feeling too much or chaotic in any way – the bridge is almost a dream-like state, flowing effortlessly throughout until it explodes into the final chorus that just gels the track together superbly. we can’t wait to hear this one live!
you can find it over on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/0m3FoEPROirtK5hZpJV7W4 – it’s available to check out on all streaming sites, and is well worth a full listen! another incredible release under their belts.

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Flashback Club “Strangers“!
incorporating a nostalgic 80’s feel to their sound, they blend indie inspiration expertly with synth-pop, creating a gorgeous atmosphere to their music – and with relatable and descriptive lyricism, it’s sure to get you grooving on these summer nights! a gorgeous hook really makes this track shine, a real singalong anthem with some beautiful instrumentation throughout, it’s a fantastic tune and well worth a listen.
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Bound In Chains” from the Birmingham-based songwriter Aurora Rays
right from the get-go, the track invites you in with a calm and steady piano melody, creating a sense of ease for Aurora’s vocal to sit perfectly above. her vocal capabilities are on full show here, sounding incredible – and as the track opens up into the chorus, the drums give it a real feel of urgency, complimenting the lyrical content here super well. in the latter part of the track, there’s a real gorgeous show of all the instrumentation working in tandem with one another to reflect the ferocity of the song, with a huge final chorus and a beautiful conclusion at the end.
our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from one of our favourites Hayden J Barlow “INAMORATA“!
we’ve been massive fans of Hayden’s music for a while now, his album last year was absolutely sensational and this continues yet another strong output of singles – his unique style and drive to create something that truly stands out is inspirational.
this new tune starts off calm and collected, exposing his feelings through his lyricism but then opens up massively into the chorus, with a gorgeous sub-bass under the track, holding together the staggered rhythm section and synth lines that give a real sense of energy under his vocal, which sounds super clear and shows off his ability super well. the production is on point for this one too, keeping the track interesting and fresh all the way through – we’re huge fans of this one.
