“For the first time, I feel like I’m starting somewhere fresh.” Kicking off 2024 strong, French R&B songstress Crystal Murray is diving deep into themes of empowerment, resilience, and self-discovery through the pulsating beats and powerful lyrics of her new single, “PAYBACK.” The track inaugurates a new moment in her career, departing from a more true-to-self and genuine source material, letting her commitment to authenticity shine through her artistry.

The single encapsulates a bold declaration of personal strength and an unapologetic embrace of the complexities that define her identity as an artist in this new chapter. “As this song unfolds it places Myself in a battlefield, ANGER in my eye I got hurt and asking for revenge,” she comments on the release. The song stands as a testament to this newfound clarity, presenting a raw and unfiltered glimpse into Crystal’s multifaceted emotional landscape.

“Surrounded by women ready to fight in the field with me, they are beautiful, powerful and RAW. ‘PAYBACK’ opens us to a new sound that is big, raw, and noisy. This is the first single, and I arrive screaming… All the time wasted on people that don’t deserve it, the money, the youth stolen. It’s time we ask for reparation. This is my revenge song.”
