JERZEE featuring CRYSTALYNE, “Back Where We Started”
From the moment Crystalyne sings her first few notes, I could imagine “Back Where We Started” lighting up a room when it’s played. The force of the song performed by rapper Jerzee and his fellow Canadian Crystalyne together should have no problem nailing the end-of-school-breakup-start-of-summer song category. It’s great when rappers can show their flow from heavy-edged rap into pure pop soul and Jerzee perfectly complements his partner, who reminds me when I first heard Ariana Grande – I’m not looking for the whistle notes, just a solid delivery. Well done – in tandem with “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth, and one of my other faves, “Chasing Stars” by Canadians Corey Niles and Alex Lacasse.
