So So Def prodigy is 2008's go-to songwriter for A-list divas
Cri$tyle aka "the ink" pens four tracks on Carey's E=MC2
Atlanta, GA- Feb 14, 2008 So So Def/EMI signed songwriter Cri$tyle aka "the ink" is the latest to join a short list of creative geniuses guaranteed to deliver a Billboard single. Cri$tyle penned Mariah Carey's 2008 comeback single 'Touch My Body' alongside super-producer C.Tricky Stewart. The mid-tempo track exudes sex appeal and captures Mariah's signature sound, while adding just the right amount of hip hop flavor.
"Cri$tyle is in one word....phenomenal, "Carey says of her newfound muse. "I'm so glad Jermaine hooked us up. I know all the songs we've written together are going to be stonewinners--smash hit grooves."
In addition to the single, 'Touch My Body', Cri$tle penned, 'Cruise Control' produced by Jermaine Dupri and 'Love You Long Time' produced by DJ Toomp and 'HEAT' produced by Will I. Am on Carey's spring 2008 release E=MC2.
Since signing with Jermaine Dupri's Dieniahmar publishing last year, the twenty-four year old has interpreted the tracks of producers such as Dre, Rodney Jerkins and Jermaine Dupri into forgettable melodies for A-list divas such as Janet, Mariah, Jennifer Lopez and Natasha Bedingfield. Currently Cri$tle is in the studio with R darling Brandy and powerhouse diva Beyonce.
"It's her time. 2008 belongs to Cri$tyle," says mentor/friend Jermaine Dupri.
The singer turned songwriter says the last year has been the equivalent of living a dream. "It's a blessing, but music has been my drug of choice for as long as I can remember," Cri$tyle admits.
'Touch my Body' made its radio debut Tuesday, February 12th to rave reviews. Cri$tyle also has the current singles on teen sensation Tiffany Evans and international superstar Natasha Bedingfield.
