Ethereal goddess, Crystal Genesis’ wafting vocals have our desire to hear Ella Fitzgerald croon over a trap beat satiated. Based in Philly, this artist radiates light and energy. This can be felt with every rise and fall of her dreamy droning in the track “Cruel World.”
Artists continue to expand the boundaries of R&B and hip-hop with genre-blending. The ability to incorporate a variety of sounds and impeccable vocal capabilities has Crystal’s talent being pushed to the forefront. Love’s formula for creating hits is similar to artists such as Willow Smith. The track’s foundation is laid by an eclectic beat built upon the alluring piano.
Philadelphia has always been a hub of talent in the music world. Boasting greats from Patti LaBelle to Questlove to Hall and Oates, the new generation of talent has much to aspire to. With a thriving grime, punk, and hip-hop scene we look forward to more creation from this talented region.
