The R&amp;B songstress relocated to the US in 2015 for school, from her hometown of Bridgetown Barbados, and this eventually served to get her a record deal with Music For Love International, and a production deal with\u00a0Music By King Inc.<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Kristina wants to showcase her homeland via her platform, and promote the beautiful people and culture of Barbados. She combines\u00a0various genres, such as R&amp;B and pop to create her own unique sound, while her lyrics focus on the extremes of love and heartbreak. Kristina&#8217;s words are honest, and her experiences are very real.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The video for Kristina Murrell&#8217;s new single, &#8216;Got Me Dreaming&#8217;, at first seems like a romantic tale &#8211; but there&#8217;s a plot twist. When you find that person you want to spend your life with, it&#8217;s as if suddenly your life has gone from half to whole. They tick all the boxes: best friend&#8230;romantic lover&#8230;but if they&#8217;re a cheater? That&#8217;s a whole different story.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We see\u00a0Murrell serenading her &#8211; cheating &#8211; boyfriend, while flashbacks show them happily walking, their time together filled with joy and warmth. Sadly, it&#8217;s all too good to be true, as she discovers flirty messages on his phone to someone else. Transitioning into &#8216;Make Yourself Free&#8217;. a track and hostile warning from her debut album, &#8216;Passion &amp; Pain&#8217;, she tells her now ex man to move along. She&#8217;s hurt, but she&#8217;s not going to give in.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch the moving music video for &#8216;Got Me Dreaming&#8217; below, and find out more about Kristina Murrell and her music online on Music For Love&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.MusicForLove.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">official website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\">\n<div  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_28293\"  width=\"640\" height=\"360\"  data-origwidth=\"640\" data-origheight=\"360\"  data-relstop=\"1\" data-facadesrc=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9c7Y2vrGii0?enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/essentiallypop.com&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=1&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;color=red&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;rel=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__ epyt-facade epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" data-epautoplay=\"1\" ><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-spai-excluded=\"true\" class=\"epyt-facade-poster skip-lazy\" loading=\"lazy\"  alt=\"Kristina Murrell - Got Me Dreaming (Official Music Video)\"  src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/9c7Y2vrGii0\/maxresdefault.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\"  \/><button class=\"epyt-facade-play\" aria-label=\"Play\"><svg data-no-lazy=\"1\" height=\"100%\" version=\"1.1\" viewBox=\"0 0 68 48\" width=\"100%\"><path class=\"ytp-large-play-button-bg\" d=\"M66.52,7.74c-0.78-2.93-2.49-5.41-5.42-6.19C55.79,.13,34,0,34,0S12.21,.13,6.9,1.55 C3.97,2.33,2.27,4.81,1.48,7.74C0.06,13.05,0,24,0,24s0.06,10.95,1.48,16.26c0.78,2.93,2.49,5.41,5.42,6.19 C12.21,47.87,34,48,34,48s21.79-0.13,27.1-1.55c2.93-0.78,4.64-3.26,5.42-6.19C67.94,34.95,68,24,68,24S67.94,13.05,66.52,7.74z\" fill=\"#f00\"><\/path><path d=\"M 45,24 27,14 27,34\" fill=\"#fff\"><\/path><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kristina Murrell has her stepfather to thank, for reaching out to music producer Sonny King, thus ensuring her talent wasn&#8217;t wasted.
