Just The Crust 20/02/23: Hayden J Barlow – COZENAGE ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the incredible new single from Hayden J BarlowCOZENAGE“! 💥

we’ve covered Hayden’s music a whole bunch recently and his album last year was bloody fantastic. a real unique artist with a sound that he’s done so well to define his own stamp on it and call it his own 🤘

this new tune “COZENAGE” only continues in his trend of quality releases, expanding out on his signature sound with the familiar aspects of his music, with his trip-hop influenced beats, hyperpop and soul elements throughout and gorgeous vocal synthesis. 🙌

it starts off lovely and mellow, only to build and build to a calm before the storm that progresses so well to create such a crazy wall of sound and atmosphere that really shows off the progress he’s made in production and beatmaking – a real testament to his talent. there’s such a groove behind this track too, with chopped and sliced drums throughout giving such an interesting backdrop for his vocal and lyricism to sit above. definitely one that’s gonna go far! 👊

you can find the track on all streaming platforms, including Spotify over at https://open.spotify.com/artist/54QKgqIuwIximWz6A6ZQG2 – well worth a listen along with all of his releases!

Just The Crust 13/02/23: Katie O’Malley – Karma ☀️

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Katie O’MalleyKarma🤘

we’re huge fans of Katie’s music, having covered it a bunch in the past and caught her live so many times, such a great songwriter with a real unique sound that she’s really made her own. 😊

this new single perfectly encapsulates her style and how she’s developed it throughout her musical career, with hard-hitting rhythm, jolty and gorgeous guitar licks throughout that only provide a gorgeous backdrop to her unique and commanding vocal capabilities – always taking centre stage and making the listener hang onto every word. 💥 this tune gives a more rock and roll, almost punky feel to her music. with a real direct and blunt energetic atmosphere to it, it’s a gorgeous track that shows another side of Katie’s songwriting; less ethereal and dreamy, more stepping into the limelight and saying what’s on her mind. followed up with a gorgeous guitar solo, it’s a brilliantly crafted song where you’re digesting every word, every note and figuring out the brilliance that’s in the chemistry of Katie and her band. 😎

you can find the track over on all streaming sites, including Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/6okmBH0CynrW1oDQCaGjSQ – give it a listen and whack it into your feel-good playlists 👊
