our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single “Secrets” from Lily Haylett! 🌙
the Manchester-based grunge-influenced songwriter released her debut single “Miss Safrano” last year, and has been performing across the North West a bunch throughout the remainder of 2025, and is back with a brand new single 🎶
this new single has a real echo of 90’s alternative to it, with a lofi-esque drumbeat backing the soft, delicate guitar progression, creating a luscious atmosphere for her vocal to soar above the instrumentation, conveying her story with effortless and powerful delivery; with a lovely chorus, raw and personal lyricism, it’s a real intimate track that sounds fantastic 🎵
