I first had the opportunity to hear the self titled debut album from Krystal Myers 2-3 years ago. The style of the album was very much from the same mould as a certain Avril Lavigne. I very much enjoyed her debut, especially the track “My Saviour” and The Jono Show gave it 9 out of 10 at the time. Krystal Myers is back with her third album ‘Make Some Noise’ and having moved away from the sound of the angry American guitar girl which has somewhat died in recent years, it has a very ‘now’ sound. The first track, “Make Some Noise”, sounds much like something penned by Katy Perry (with the exception of the slightly questionable lyrics). The album is filled with track after track of amazing tunes which are verging on dance tracks, in much the same style as so many new & popular songs at this time.
Overall, if you did like the style and sound of Krystal’s first album then you may like this album but probably not. That’s not to say that the great “Reflections of You” wouldn’t have easily fitted onto the debut album, it is just that this album has a different kind of sound. I personally like it and the fresh, up-to-date sound that it possesses. Will it stand the test of time? I’m not so sure, as is the case whenever music takes a new turn, we never know just how long it’ll remain in favour. I find that I like the directions that Krystal has taken with this album & hope she continues pushing the boundaries of Christian music without getting stuck into any one set style for her entire career. Whether you like the new style or not is something you’ll have to decide upon but it’s certainly and album that is worth checking out.
