Title: Crystal Kay debuted 25 years ago today
Post by: TogetherAgain on July 01, 2024, 08:04:56 AM
Her debut single, Eternal Memories, released on July 1, 1999, when she was only 13 years old.

Her unique flavor of R&B-infused J-Pop transcends language and cultural barriers. Her fanbase is truly global.

Being half African American and half Korean, she has thrived despite her status as a double minority, selling millions of records in Japan alone.

She has opened doors for other mixed-race acts to follow.

Her career spans music, movies, TV, anime, theater, video games, and more.

Put some respect on her name. Crystal Kay is a legend!

She's so legendary that this compilation could only cover the first half of her illustrious music career.


Check out the interview she just did with Rolling Stone. (https://rollingstoneindia.com/crystal-kay-there-is-no-reason-i-have-to-emphasize-how-american-or-black-i-am/amp/)

The song that started it all.

Get in, hun.

She makes amazing R&B music, and a lot of it is in English. She's a fan of Brandy too.

The unavailability of one of her best songs, Kirakuni, is a running meme on social media.

It would have smashed if it had been released in the US in 2006. Fully English and produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis

Of course you'd try to pit two black women against each other.

Crystal is one of, if not THE best vocalist in Japan, dummy.

Her tone, her range, her backgrounds, her ability to emote, her ear for ad libs and vocal stacks >>>

I've never said that Flea is a bad singer. Most of her music, however, is terrible, but that's neither here nor there.

I've listened to HasBeyn's entire discography. Your opinions on Crystal and her music are worth jack shit until you've done the same for her.
