He’s the chief songwriter and the driving force behind the iconic Rock ‘n’ Roll band, KISS, and arguably one of the most recognizable frontmen in rock music, but after 45 years in the music industry, Paul Stanley still prefers to live his life away from the spotlight. She’s one of the most exciting new female R&B artists to emerge from the West Coast of the United States in several decades, with a sophisticated sound that merges retro-pop, Rhythm and Blues, and soul in ways words can’t describe sometimes, and Crystal Starr shines brightly in the spotlight every time she gets in front of a microphone and long after she steps away from it. Just over 6 months after the release of her critically acclaimed single “Goodie Two Shoes”, a song that marked a career high that had been a long time coming back in May, Crystal has emerged with news that she’s joined forces to record an album under the Universal Music imprint with KISS frontman Paul Stanley and his new ensemble, Soul Station, which is reported to consist of at least seventeen musicians. According to Starr, they have already shot five music videos for the album. Release dates and further information about the project will be provided as they emerge.

Music industry update | California, USA | Indie artist, Crystal Starr

Crystal Starr ended 2019 in a spectacular way. Bringing the summer to a climax with a show-stopping performance in front of over 50,000 music fans at the Fuji Rock Festival in Jiigata Prefecture, Japan, the independent Los Angeles R&B star, who is known for her exciting dance routines, commanding stage presence and delightful performances, released her critically acclaimed album, “SHE” in Europe and the UK.

LONDON'S BURNING

Music industry update | London, UK | Indie artist, Crystal Starr

Amazing songwriting is one of the keys to success in the music industry, in fact some would argue it’s the only way to success. Whether you are writing your own songs or performing songs written by professional songwriters or other artists, the lyrics are what help fans make a connection and the resulting effect is second to none. But aside from having a great song, there are other aspects of a music career that make the difference between a good artist and an all-time great. Being a great performer on stage is one of the most important of them. Michael Jackson was and still is the King of Pop, not just because he sang like it was his last day on earth every single time he recorded in the studio but also because he could put on a great show, which ultimately meant he could sell concert tickets like no other artist was able to do at the time. From his outstanding costumes to choreography, commanding onstage presence and charisma, he left a lasting impression around the world every time he went on tour. Nowadays it’s hard to find any artists out there who could put on a great show like Michael but with every passing moment it seems like we are getting closer.

This month in London has been a very exciting month for UK talent scouts and record labels. Los Angeles, US artist, Crystal Starr arrived to promote the UK release of her critically acclaimed independent album, “#She”. The press tour, which commenced on Sunday, the 27th of October when she featured on BBC Radio London, has brought joy to fans and music industry insiders, many of whom prior where unaware any artist was doing anything like what she’s doing. She’s bringing heat to live music venues and concert halls and not just singing her heart out but setting stages on fire with exceptional performances that are only typical of all-time greats. We've just received footage of an exclusive interview she did after her first gig at London’s popular members’ club, Arboretum - watch video below. Further upcoming event dates and concert tickets will be accessible via the Skunk Radio Live Events page as they become available.
