Crystal Kay partnered up with Rioske of music and Internet duo PeruPines to sing a bunch of Disney songs. Both have shared the video on their YouTube channels, but both feature different songs, so they both gets the views. C’mon strategy.
Rioske can really sing, which is a relief. Because for the past few years Crystal has constantly been mismatched with people that can’t, and it’s been upsetting me and my homegirls.
I don’t know what it is about Crystal’s raggedy team over the past few years pairing her with singers whose voices don’t really work with hers. I know J-pop isn’t really a genre or market known for vocals, but c’mon now. Let us start realising what does and does not sound good. Crystal Kay with Ryuji Imaichi? Does not sound good. But Crystal Kay with Rioske? Yes bitch.

If you were unsure of what the Japanese song in the first video was, then SHAME ON YOU.The song from the first video was “I See the Light” from Tangled.W hich makes me because me wonder what Japan’s relationship is with Tangled.
Tangled is not as widely acknowledged and revered as the likes of The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, The Lion King and Frozen. Whenever there is any form of Disney anything involving music, we can always expect something from one of these films. But Tangled is a wild card. And yet during Perfume’s Disney special, they performed a song from Tangled. And now, here’s Crystal Kay and Rioske also singing a song from it. I don’t think it’s entirely random, even though it probably is. And if we really wanna reach, Tangled was also one of the worlds included in Kingdom Hearts III, which was developed by a Japanese company.

The flipping was something which was happening a fair amount, especially in the PeruPines video. I was frequently surprised at the sections of songs Rioske was singing and the key he was singing them in. I was not expecting him to take on so much of “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” and “Let It Go”. He did good. And given those were in the video uploaded to the PeruPines channel, I get he wanted to be the focal point of those songs. But I woulda liked to have heard Crystal sing a little more of them than she did.

Disney need to pick up the phone.
Crystal’s voice has such great clarity when she sings Disney songs, and she actually has an ideal voice for a Disney Princess. So, where are the Mickey Mouse bags?
Crystal is clearly a fan of some of these Disney songs. She’s definitely fucks with “Let It Go”. So, why did we not get a cover of a Disney song for I Sing?
Girl. Fire the whole management and marketing team.

I truly do believe there are people out there looking for a Crystal Kay, but her team aren’t putting her out in the spaces to be found nor seen. When was the last time she performed on national TV? When was the last time she had a promotional tie-in which had her face on billboards and posters up and down the country? When was the last time she had a song chart higher than 60 on the Oricon?
I know this is how it breaks sometimes for artists, but Crystal is not some new chick on the block with no experience, no resources, no connections and no access. She needs to be pink slipping her whole team, because shit ain’t been right with her career for too long now.
I really hope that these videos find their way into spaces where more people can see how talented Crystal Kay is, and then fall into a rabbit hole of her older stuff. And I would definitely like to hear Crystal and Rioske do something else together.
Rioske also has too good a voice and has too marketable of a look to not be doing bigger things. And for those of you who were feeling s’umn for Rioske, he is on Instagram, and there are photos of him thirst trapping.
