Crystal Murray announces her debut album, SAD LOVERS & GIANTS

The album news lands alongside an incredible London-filmed Charlotte Wales-directed visual for new single “STARMANIAK” - an anthem for anyone who feels they’ve been walked over. The second single from her forthcoming debut album, following "PAYBACK", is produced by Grammy Nominated producer Kyu Steed (Amaarae, Kojey Radical, Babyface).

Speaking on the single, Crystal states: "I wanted to highlight the struggles and challenges that many women face in today's society, particularly the pervasive issue of being over-sexualized, disrespected, and mistreated. My acknowledgment of the toxicity that some individuals can perpetuate is important. I'm talking about my own experiences but also shedding light on broader societal issues that need to be addressed."

“I'm moving away from personas, to make a clear statement that this is me,” says Crystal. “My music can be tragic and theatrical, cinematic and massive – but it is all me.” The forthcoming album finds purpose in transposing Crystal’s own personal arc onto the wider world. "In understanding my own emotional power, I hope to give others that strength and release,” she says. “To honour their emotional contradictions.”
