You Can Call Me CC

Crystal Chen's debut album emerges from intimate studio sessions with collaborators Joe Kaptein and Kenny Sterling, capturing a distinctly personal sonic palette. Rooted in Auckland's creative community, Chen weaves jazz and soul influences through an analogue-forward production that prioritises warmth and authenticity. The ten-track collection functions as a candid exploration of everyday emotional truths—navigating vulnerability, contradiction, and quiet humour with compositional restraint. A record that rewards close listening, revealing layers of craft beneath its deceptively understated surface.
