Crystal Kay's got songs in the oven - Over and Over, Girlfriend ft. BoA, Wonder duet w/Jin Akanishi

As Crystal's tenth anniversary draws closer, she reveals some of the tricks she has up her sleeve. Sneaky Crystal got a little more out of her collaboration with m-flo and BoA earlier this year than she originally let on. A couple of weeks back it was announced that Crystal had scored the theme song for new show DRESS. Over and Over, produced by Taku Takahashi of m-flo, was later debuted by Crystal herself on Japanese radio. Unfortunately, the radio rip is still all that is currently available but at least you can get a feel for the track while you wait for its release in HQ. Over and Over is a house track. Normally that's a dealbreaker for me, but there's no denying this song's heat. Check out Over and Over below (updated with HQ version).

BEST of CRYSTAL KAY

Kuri also revealed today on her website that her following single will be Girlfriend, another collaboration with BoA. Even after UNIVERSE, I have to say I'm still interested to hear what they will sound like together, especially without Verbal's rhymes taking up space. Crystal arguably outshined BoA when she was featuring so I'm sure she'll shut BoA down completely now that it's the other way around. Girlfriend will be a tie-in with the Japanese release of He's Just Not That Into You. The song is supposed to be a girl anthem, we-don't-need-boys sort of thing, sort of like one of her very first singles, Girl's Night. Hopefully we get a video this time. Here's an MQ snippet. Sigh. Even a pretty girl like BoA shouldn't stand next to Crystal Kay.

Update!!: Crystal is even busier than I thought! Jin Akanishi, the sexy and most un-Johnny like member of KAT-TUN, revealed a duet with Crystal Kay during their current tour. The track is titled Wonder and it is hot! During the live performance, Jin worked some choreography and sang his part while what clearly appeared to be a music video featuring both Jin and Crystal played on the monitors. If there's already an MV then there's a good shot that Wonder will get the single treatment! The song has a latin vibe to it, similar to the one Crystal worked on the B-side Girl, Move On. And though I'm not hating on KAT-TUN, there's thankfully nothing KAT-TUN about it. There are also rumors going around that Crystal and Jin have a little som'n som'n going on. If she's smart she'll keep that on the low, though. So exciting to finally hear the fruits of Crystal's labor over the past few months. Unfortunately, there are only fan videos from the tour on YouTube. We need some HQ mp3s, stat!!

Special thanks to LuluJay for the heads up on Wonder!!!
