‘It Will Be Different’: How Crazy P Is Carrying on After the Death of Its Singer


Danielle Moore, Crazy P's longtime singer, died tragically a few months before the group released its latest album, Any Signs of Love

Opener “There’s a Better Place” pairs a frisky bass line with an excerpt from Gene Wilder’s Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory song “Pure Imagination,” adding a fantastical edge to the driving beat.
