Belgium's Long Awaited New Girl Band has Arrived!
 
Mostiko A&R Jo Casters (seminal belgian musician/producer and key part of the belgian music scene for over 20 years) dedicated more than a year to a single mission: finding the perfect girlband CRU5H 5. Mission statement: sophisticated enough to appeal to an adult audience yet edgy and energetic enough to WOW younger crowds.
 
Emilie, Needra, Julie, Jessie and Kariné have got it all. Their looks are sexy yet sophisticated. They have a seamless flow, sensual yet passionate and they have tons of energy to convince every audience with a dazzeling performance.
 
Of course a strong act needs a matching repertoire. Joe Quaranto came up with a songwriting team which delivered proven hits for the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Steps, Cher, High School Musical, Beyoncé, John Legend, Jill Scott and The Backstreet Boys. For CRU5H 5 they wrote groovy Pop/R&B-tunes and lyrics telling the contemporary tale of the beauty and the dynamics of relationships.
 
Then Serge Ramaekers (T-Spoon, Freddy Mercury, Confetti's, Hadise, Seduced) came in and he added his skills as a producer to give the songs a european touch. Ann Smeets'(choreography) and Pascal Artronix (art director) completed the team.
 
The first single 'AfterParty' is a cranking dancefloor track ready to capture those radio waves by storm. The song is about female empowerment, about being confident with who you are. 'After Party' is trademark CRU5H 5, it is everything the band stands for.
 
The video was directed by Senol Korkmaz who previously filmed the videos for for Kate Ryan, Kaye Styles, Leki, Lunaman and Hadise.

Release 'AfterParty' june 4th.
Album release to be expected end of summer.
