Krystal’s Solo Debut: ‘Solitary’ Single Drops to Acclaim

f(x) Krystal has officially launched her solo career with the release of her debut Solitary single on November 27, 2025. The new R&B track, released at 6 PM KST, showcases a new artistic direction for the renowned K-pop solo artist, solidifying her transition into a new musical chapter under her agency, Beasts And Natives Alike. The release marks a significant moment for fans who have long awaited her solo work.

A Strong Start with ‘Solitary’

The anticipation for Krystal’s solo debut translated into impressive commercial success even before the official release. A nine-day pre-order period, held from November 13 to November 21, 2025, resulted in 32,000 copies of the physical single being sold. This strong initial demand highlights the public’s excitement for her new music. Fans who missed the pre-order window will have another opportunity to purchase the album, as general sales for the physical CD of ‘Solitary’ are scheduled to begin on December 2, 2025. The successful launch of the Solitary single sets a positive tone for her activities as a solo artist.

The Sound of Krystal: Exploring Her R&B Music Direction

‘Solitary’ firmly establishes Krystal’s musical identity in the R&B and Soul genres. This direction is not a surprise to her dedicated followers, as she has previously shared her affinity for the style by releasing covers of classic R&B Soul songs like ‘Georgy Porgy,’ ‘I’m Coming Back,’ and ‘My Flame’ on her personal SoundCloud account. Her debut single is a natural evolution of this long-held passion, now presented through her own original R&B music. The track is a carefully crafted piece that reflects her artistic vision.

Global Collaboration for Her Krystal Solo Debut

The production of her debut album involved a global effort, with recording sessions held in various international locations. A key part of the process was a session in San Francisco, USA, with the world-renowned singer-songwriter and producer Toro y Moi. The production journey for her Krystal solo debut also took her across the globe, from London, UK, to the serene Jeju ‘House of Refuge’. This dedication to crafting a unique experience through travel mirrors the growing trend of purposeful journeys, like the “Run Trip” phenomenon in Korea.

Behind the Scenes with ‘CHARGING CRYSTALS’

To give fans an intimate look into her creative process, Krystal and her agency launched a documentary series titled ‘CHARGING CRYSTALS.’ The first episode premiered on the Beasts And Natives Alike official YouTube channel concurrently with the single’s release on November 27, 2025. The series documents the entire album production journey, offering behind-the-scenes footage from her work in London, Jeju, and her collaborative session in San Francisco.
