Crystal McGrath’s Country Pop Girl Power
Anthem “About A Boy” Will Rock Your World

In her new single, About a Boy, Crystal McGrath blends a pop drum beat with a traditional country backing band to create a sound that is wholly her own. Like a chocolate-vanilla swirl ice cream cone, About a Boy blends two very different musical flavors into something that any music fan will enjoy. Crystal McGrath’s voice only adds to the musical beauty of this track. With a timbre that sounds something like a mix of Miranda Lambert and Trisha Yearwood, McGrath’s voice is just as unique and wonderful as the instrumentation on About a Boy. Another standout element of About a Boy is the lyrics. McGrath asks the question, “Why is it always about a boy?” This line can have so many different meanings to so many different people. Why do female protagonists always have to be chasing after “Mr. Perfect?” Why are most country songs sung by women about the men that they love, have cheated on them, or got away? Why is it assumed that the man will alter a woman’s life in some unexplainable way? All of these questions are up to the listener to decide as About a Boy takes the listener on a musical journey. Crystal McGrath’s About a Boy is an exceptional song written by an exceptional artist with crossover appeal that will make both pop and country fans fall in love with About a Boy after just one listen. About a Boy’s tight pop drumbeat mixed with the sounds of electric guitars, pedal steels, and banjos makes it an instant classic in both the worlds of pop and country music.

Crystal lives by the words of poet John Greenleaf Whittier’s poem Don’t Quit “And you never can tell just how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far; So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit, It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.”
