"Other Side" by RUSTY featuring Krysta Youngs is a seriously uplifting track that's all about finding hope in tough times. The song's message of perseverance and resilience really resonates, and the Future Bass vibes are infectious. One of the standout features is the way the track builds from a slow, piano-driven intro to a full-on EDM banger - it's expertly done and gives you that perfect rush of energy. Krysta Youngs' vocals are a highlight, bringing a sense of vulnerability and emotion to the lyrics. The only thing that might take away from her performance is the vocal layering, which occasionally takes away from her vocal power.

The contrast between the piano and EDM bits is particularly effective, adding depth and complexity to the track. Overall, "Other Side" is a compe...

Q. Modern queer dating can be a rollercoaster—do you think music is a form of therapy for you when it comes to processing all that? A.

With a sound that blends raw emotion with lo-fi production, Homemade Christmas Card's music is sure to resonate with fans of introspective and atmospheric soundscapes. Q. How did you decide on the name Homemade Christmas Card? A. The phrase originates with one of my favourite bands, Manic Street Preachers. I had a CD copy of a live gig of theirs at the London Astoria on 20/12/1994 (Richey Edwards' penultimate gig before his disappearance). At the start of a cover of the Art Garfunkel song Bright Eyes, someone shouts or throws something and James Dean Bradfield responds with "That's better than a Homemade Christmas Card!"
