The crystal disc, though a departure from Bennett’s past covers, makes sense for this drop. “The diamond itself and the crystals and sparkle itself represent happiness, and it presents something very exclusive, something very precious,” Shakeel explains. To Bennett, perhaps his debut album is just that. It’s a treasured milestone for one of the biggest musicians who spun the music industry on his head and won Grammys without a record deal.
To add to the album release celebrations, Bennett is also setting up a crystal-infused pop-up that Shakeel creative-directed; it features multiple rooms inspired by the rapper’s life, from his music-making to his wedding. Considering the sneak peeks from Shakeel’s Instagram Stories, the spectacle is a Kira-Kira fan’s paradise.
Shakeel, who lives in Pakistan, “never imagined” the life she has now. She says her popularity was an “accident”; she was a dentist with no formal artistic training, but she loved creating collages in her free time. Her big break occurred two years ago, when she digitally added crystals into a stash of lipsticks, posted the photo on Instagram, and awoke to 15,000 new followers and media coverage. “I was like, ‘This is something that people like, and let me just carry on with that,’” she says.
