A bold new visual art experience, blending sci-fi fantasy and real-world connection
Crystal Waters takes fans on a high-flying journey beyond the dance floor in the brand-new AI-powered music video for her single “You & Me”—a collaboration with Swedish duo ManyFew. Created by video artist Matyas Kelemen using cutting-edge AI technology, the piece is a futuristic visual art statement that reimagines Crystal as a powerful, superhero-like figure—reminiscent of Storm from the X-Men universe.
Inspired by the track’s dynamic energy and the striking cover artwork, the video features Crystal soaring through lightning-charged skies, exuding strength and elegance. At times, she hovers above a massive festival crowd—a stylized vision of her live audience—symbolizing the deep, electric bond between artist and fan. In that moment, the music transcends everything. It becomes the unifying spark, the rush of presence and power that flows both ways.
With “You & Me” already lighting up global dance floors and playlists, the new video offers a cinematic and futuristic extension of the song—one that celebrates fantasy, empowerment, and the undeniable magic of connection through music.

Crystal Waters x ManyFew – “You & Me” (AI Music Video)
Working with Crystal on this video was a creatively charged experience. Our goal was to create something that not only looks futuristic but feels emotionally real—an elevated representation of her energy and relationship with her fans. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we brought the vision to life:
Creative Concept
Crystal and her team came with a strong vision: to portray her as a futuristic, superhuman force—something inspired by the aesthetics of modern superhero films. Specifically, her look channels the essence of Storm: powerful, radiant, commanding. We built on that idea to place her in a surreal, sky-bound world where lightning cuts through clouds and she performs above a sea of fans.
This concept visualizes that powerful “You & Me” moment—the unique connection between artist and audience where everything else fades, and the energy becomes transcendent.
Creative Direction & Editing Style
The tension between stylized animation and lifelike realism was intentional—it blurs the boundary between the algorithm and the human, echoing the duality of being larger-than-life yet emotionally grounded.
The editing style moves fast, often morphing between scenes, to create a surreal, heightened rhythm—like a lucid dream triggered by the beat. It’s that sensory blur you feel during a peak moment on the dancefloor: present, euphoric, and a little out of body.
This project pushes the boundaries of visual art in music—embracing AI as a creative tool while keeping storytelling at its core. And with an icon like Crystal Waters leading the way, the result is something that feels both visionary and deeply connected.
