London duo August follows up their debut single ‘Sword’ with their second ethereal piece titled ‘Cruel’. Set to land June 15th, the track is a deep release of pop noir, haunting but accessible to the charts. The song was mixed by Charlie Hugall, pushing the sound of the production to sky heights.

Describing ‘Cruel’ August wrote:

“Cruel is another dark love song, showing how you can adore someone but never know if they are really any good for you. The song speaks of a slightly warped co-dependent relationship, where no matter what happens things stay the same, where even if someone is cruel, “I will always want your love.”
