Past Events & Initiatives

CRYSTAL MURRAY & SHESAID.SO presents STARMANIAK RELEASE PARTY

To celebrate the forthcoming release of her new single, STARMANIAK, inimitable Paris-hailing & London dwelling musician and creative Crystal Murray hosts an extra special night at Beaubeaus, London in association with shesaid.so.

STARMANIAK lands alongside an incredible Charlotte Wales-directed video which will be screened on the night.

The evening will kick off with a panel discussion featuring Crystal, Charlotte Wales, Julie Mathieu Moreau (executive producer of the video), and creative director Stephy Galvini. The panel will be moderated by Tara Joshi and will cover themes reflected in the music video and broader topics relating to the female creative industry experience.

Following the discussion there will be an opportunity for guests to ask our panel questions and then we party with DJ sets from Emma Korantema, Broodooramses and a live performance from Crystal.

Speaking of the single, which is an anthem for anyone who feels they’ve been walked over, Crystal says: "I wanted to highlight the struggles and challenges that many women face in today's society, particularly the pervasive issue of being over-sexualized, disrespected, and mistreated. My acknowledgement of the toxicity that some individuals can perpetuate is important. I'm talking about my own experiences but also shedding light on broader societal issues that need to be addressed."
