Universal music are so low on cash, that they couldn't even afford to have the dude who hoovers the carpets in the studio film Lionel and Crystal and put that shit out as a PV (or in Japan's case a short PV for their YouTube channel). Hence why this official preview of Lionel and Crystal's duet has been uploaded in the form of a photo montage.
Crystal sounds amazing on this song. Too bad it won't do a damn thing for her anywhere in the world. Crystal ain't never gonna hit it big in Japan. And those prayers for a Western debut have been going straight into prayer dustbins along with the limited editions of Party queen.
This duet sparks the unthinkable in me. Now...I'm no advocator of cover albums. I wanted to upside Hikaru Utada's head when I heard that she wanted to release an album of covers. But I would genuinely love for Crystal to do one. She's already released a couple of BEST albums, a holiday mini and a remix album. She's surely due a cover album soon.
Crystal has covered many songs over the course of her 10+ year career and done so masterfully each and every time. Crystal's lack of major Japanese success goes deeper than her music *cough*skintone*cough* But I think a cover album could really work in her favour. I would love to have studio recorded versions of MJ's "Human nature" and the original version of Dreams come true's "Suki".
