We took Crystal Murray on a Wellness Day

If you’re looking at Crystal Murray and wondering where you’ve seen her before, cast your mind back to the pop culture scene of 2016. The 20-year-old singer-songwriter began her career in the public eye when she created Gucci Gang, the iconic group of fashion and arts influencers that took Instagram by storm. Just like any Gen Z, Murray wasn’t satisfied by a singular career path; in 2020, she released her EP I Was Wrong which sealed her fate as a star-in-the-making.

Now, four years on, the singer is gearing for the launch of her debut album, Sad Lovers & Giants — an ode to personal growth and emotional discovery – releasing on May 31. Good news for nostalgia obsessives, as Murray says that “the album is a love letter to 2010 pop.” Ahead of the big release, woo spent a day with the musician, learning about her favourite lunch spots, the record store she can’t get enough of and how the singer-songwriter prioritises wellness. From the song she wants to see on ESPN as an advert for the women’s soccer team to the story behind her futuristic album cover, dig in below for feel-good vibes.
