The pop-punk influence that Crystal Skies brings along with them is prominent throughout the journey on Not Since When. This drips through in the layers added into “Gold” that sees the duo team up with Luma, while the vocals from JASPR on “Nothing Ever Happened” will quickly stir up memories of listening to Blink-182 back in the late ’90s and early ’00s.
Collaborations permeate the entire tracklist and showcase how Crystal Skies can play well with others. These standouts include “Crazy While We’re Young” with JT Roach which is the perfect track for your summer fling, “Good Enough” which features stunning vocals from Diandra Faye, and “Gone” which adds in a touch of MitiS‘ impeccable sound design with powerful lyrics from Linney.
