From the minute I pressed play on this new track, I knew Bristol’s Chandra had done it again. If you’ve been following our corner of the music world for a while, you already know this band has been steadily etching their way into our hearts—one heartfelt lyric, one soaring hook, one unforgettable performance at a time. They’re not just a band we feature; they’ve become part of the musical furniture here, the kind you don’t want to rearrange because it just feels right. And now, with “Just With You,” their latest and first release under Rexius Records, they’ve delivered something that feels less like a single and more like a keepsake.
Released today, August 15, this song is a quiet marvel. It’s a soul-searching, feel-good pop-rock ballad that captures those fleeting, sensory memories that make us who we are—the “perfect sunrise in the city,” “crickets chirping in the moonlight,” “fresh cut grass or crunchy snow.” Listening to it feels like flipping through a photo album where every page smells faintly of home. It’s about the moments, often small, often ordinary—that leave an extraordinary mark on us, and the sheer beauty of sharing those with someone who feels like the missing half of your story.
From a performance standpoint, the delivery is exactly what this theme needs: warm, open, and disarmingly sincere. The lead vocal glows with a mix of tenderness and conviction, the kind of voice that can hold your gaze and keep you listening because you believe every word. When the refrain arrives, “Here’s a glimpse into what makes my soul. I want to share it just with you,” it doesn’t feel sung so much as confessed, like you’re sitting across from someone who’s trusting you with their truest self.
Instrumentally, “Just With” You is a soft-blooming arrangement. The guitars are clean yet expansive, wrapping around the melody like a summer breeze, while the rhythm section provides a steady, unhurried heartbeat. There’s a subtle lift in the choruses, not through bombast, but through layered harmonies and a gentle build that mirrors the feeling of recalling a perfect memory—small, then swelling with warmth. The production is pristine without being sterile; every note has room to breathe, and the mix leaves space for the lyrics to land exactly as they should: front and center.
To me, what makes Chandra so powerful as a band is their ability to take universal emotions and package them in deeply personal music. They’ve always had a knack for pairing sincerity with polish, and here, under Rexius Records, that balance feels even more refined. “Just With You” isn’t trying to shout for attention; it simply opens the door, invites you in, and lets you stay among its treasures.
With this release, Chandra hasn’t just given us a song; they’ve handed us a piece of their soul. And in doing so, they remind us of ours. That’s the kind of artistry that earns not just plays, but a place in your life.
