She goes above and beyond to take a song where she feels it needs to go, sometimes with not much to go on.
She is the consummate professional. Simply a cut above.

I'm literally in love with Kristal LOL. I knew my song needed a great singer, but I hadn't even thought about backing vocals. I decided to simply hand it over to Kristal to make it her own and boy did she deliver. Not only was the lead vocal beautiful, she'd done a whole intricate, beautiful backing vocal arrangement, rich and complex. I was blown away. You don't just get a singer with Kristal. Her production experience shows up in her work too. This has been a beautiful partnership.
