Crystal Starr Unveils New Single “Danny”: A Bold Anthem of Love and Self-Respect

Two-time award-winning recording artist Crystal Starr shared her new single, “Danny.” Following the success of her chart-topping hit “Part-Time Lover,” this electrifying track is about love, emotional clarity, and self-respect. Produced by the multi-Grammy-nominated duo Bizkit & Butta, “Danny” delivers a powerful message for anyone navigating the complexities of relationships.

Crystal Starr’s “Danny” is a declaration of self-worth and empowerment. The chorus resonates with emotion as Crystal belts out: “Danny, do you want me? Tell me what you want!” The song explores the frustration of indecision and toxic relationships, urging listeners to confront their truths head-on. With lines like “I don’t need a part-time lover, sleeping with another like you, do I look like a fool?”  Crystal pushes the narrative of walking away from unhealthy situations with strength and dignity. In an interview about the single, Crystal shared her vision: “I want people to break free from waiting on others—whether in a relationship or life in general. Break free of expectations.”

Accompanying the release is a stunning DIY music video where Crystal Starr channels Cleopatra in an ancient Egyptian-inspired world. With sultry dance moves and timeless glamour, she merges historical elegance with modern pop culture. Edited and produced entirely by Crystal herself—with help from her family—the video demonstrates her hands-on approach to artistry. The Cleopatra theme emerged from a casual brainstorming session with her mother, embodying themes of love and empowerment. Crystal explains: “I try not to overthink my ideas; Egypt just felt right for this video.”

Her previous singles “Good Times” and “Too Late” achieved remarkable chart success, with “Good Times” reaching #3 on the UK Commercial Pop Charts. Beyond music, Crystal is also a philanthropist and entrepreneur. She founded Little Voices, a nonprofit organization empowering underserved youth through music mentorship programs. Her dedication to both her craft and community makes her an inspiring figure in the industry.

In discussing the creative process behind “Danny,” Crystal Starr revealed that the song came together naturally: “When we created the music for the track, I kept humming this melody and wrote it within five minutes.” While not directly inspired by Michael Jackson’s work, she credits spontaneity for shaping the song’s unique sound.
