Just The Crust 28/02/22: Olivia Browse – Nevermind Valentine / Cliché ❤️‍🔥

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from our very own Olivia Browse “Nevermind Valentine / Cliché”! 🥰

we absolutely love this double single, it really expands on Olivia’s genre-defying talent, going from britpop to grunge to hyperpop and still maintaining her signature style and sound – it’s full of energy and a real lovely valentine’s gift to us all ☀️

“Nevermind Valentine” is chock-full of distortion, walls of guitars reminiscent of 90’s grunge backed with electronic drums that really drive the track with their almost-industrial sound, and yet another lovely catchy chorus as we’re used to now from Liv – plus, real personal and relatable lyricism that really put the listeners in Olivia’s mindset, it’s yet another fantastic release from her which we’re so proud of to have here on the label ❤️

the b-side “Cliché” is one she wrote about her partner, a real lovely testament to their relationship and such heartfelt lyrics throughout – yet another super lush chorus and with that crunchy guitar melody it sounds like it could be straight out of the 90’s alternative scene! ✨ plus the vocal harmonies throughout are so lovely and really give the track so much space to breathe, a real banger for you all to listen to. 🤘

a big shout to Shtum on the production, super work – and thanks to Zeth Hex for helping out too! every release just gets better and better. 😊 you can find it on Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/album/4WukXPGi0jNTn4nMzWtBgt or available on all streaming sites so go and check it out 🌹

Just The Crust 21/02/22: Minerva Daisy – Something Strange 🐍

our feature for today’s Just The Crust is the brand new single from Minervadaisy “Something Strange”! 🤘

we’ve known Minni for a good while now, having featured her previous singles and had her perform at many of our gigs and she always excels! what a songwriter! 🏵 each of her singles have been absolutely fantastic and this one only proves that even further. 😊

with her usual melodic piano lines, haunting vocals and image-inducing storytelling, this new single sounds superb! ☀️ we love the chorus, a real huge one that’s definitely a singalong. the band really add a new dimension to this track, really driving the song along and giving it so much space to flow – plus Minerva’s vocal sounds brilliant, with so much dynamic to it, going from calm to opening up to belting it out in the chorus, what a talent! 📼

head on over to her Spotify at https://open.spotify.com/artist/7GuTJ34qFjZ8bdSqhLCD9I to check the tune out in full, and have a gander at her previous releases which are also amazing! 💿 fantastic stuff. great to see so much brilliant music coming out lately!
