She's Got Heart

Ok. Let's set the record straight- Yeah, she can rock but there's more to this girl than the typical bluster and posing of the current crop of mainstream rock chicks. Krystal Meyers' music has a message and she has the know-how, industry cred and mad skillz to deliver. If you doubt, know this... with her first single from her debut album, "Anti-conformity," she displaced the Red Hot Chili Peppers from their perch at number 1 on the pop charts in Japan.
The music of this album is dynamic and edgy- filled with brawny guitars, punchy drum work and thick bass lines. Dying for a Heart has an aggressive sound that's even edgier than her previous effort. She's only a year out of high school but shares more in common with Joan Jett than Kelly Clarkson. Miss Meyers writes, plays and performs like a seasoned veteran.
Krystal's songwriting is insightful and hip without coming off as inane. She charismatically addresses the concerns and struggles of her peers without resorting to worn clichés. Every song of Dying for a Heart contains a straightforward, unpretentious message, yet retains an in your face urgency and relevancy.
From first to last, it's evident that Dying for a Heart embodies the passion and devotion Miss Meyers possesses. If you're into chick rock and names like Barlow Girl, Superchic[k], Avril Lavigne, Sarah Brendel, Kelly Clarkson and Ashlee Simpson populate your playlists, then do yourself a favor and get your hands on a copy of this CD.
