Crystal Starr Drops a New Single, "Too Late" with a DIY Music Video

Crystal Starr, the two-time award-winning artist hailed as “The Girl with the Golden Voice,” has just released her latest single, “Too Late.” Known for her powerful vocals and vibrant pop style, Crystal delivers a track that delves into the pain of a missed opportunity in love.

Too Late” tells the story of a relationship that never quite took off because one person wasn’t serious enough. With lines like “This could have been us / But you play too much / Never took me serious,” Crystal captures the frustration and sadness of waiting for someone who never steps up.

The track, produced by Grammy-nominated duo Bizkit and Butta, continues Crystal‘s trend of creating music that resonates both emotionally and musically. Following the success of “Good Times,” which climbed charts in the UK, France, and Germany, “Too Late” is poised to make a similar impact.

In a bold move, Crystal took a DIY approach to the music video for “Too Late.” Shot in an old, rain-soaked room, the video features Crystal performing with raw emotion. The continuous rain, the window with a fan, and the shifting camera angles create a somber yet compelling backdrop for the song’s themes. Despite the simple setup, the video effectively conveys the song’s emotional weight.

Crystal enlisted the help of photographers, editors, and makeup artists to bring her vision to life, completing the project in just a few hours. The result is a visually striking video that enhances the song’s impact.

Crystal Starr’s career began early, influenced by a rich mix of musical genres from her Puerto Rican mother and African American father. At sixteen, she landed her first professional gig with Jessica Simpson, and her career has since skyrocketed. She’s performed with industry giants like Ariana Grande, Stevie Wonder, Kanye West, John Legend, and Lady Gaga.

Currently, Crystal tours with the ’80s girl group Klymaxx and KISS frontman Paul Stanley’s group, Soul Station. She also starred on Broadway, playing Doris in Baby It’s You, and has headlined major events like the Electric Forest Festival.

Beyond her music, Crystal is a dedicated philanthropist. She founded Little Voices, a nonprofit that has positively impacted over a million foster and inner-city youth through concerts and mentoring programs.

Crystal‘s recent performance on the Old School Cruise 2024 with Klymaxx also garnered significant attention. A five-minute clip from the show went viral on TikTok, showcasing her dynamic stage presence and drawing more fans to her work.
