Crystal Waters is the third studio album by singer-songwriter Crystal Waters, released on June 24, 1997, by Mercury Records/Polygram. It includes her third pop crossover hit, "Say... If You Feel Alright", produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis the song was also included in the compilation celebrating NBA's 50 years. "Just a Freak" featuring Dennis Rodman was a club hit, a music video was filmed with clips from Rodman's movie "Double Team (film)", and while not issued as a single, "Spin Me" (with background vocals by Karla Brown) which contains an interpolation of the Dead or Alive Hi-NRG classic, "You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)", is well known for having been featured on several Crystal Waters compilations. The album has sold over 100,000 copies worldwide regardless of her record label at that time "Mercury Records" going through difficult times and failing to promote their albums properly between 1997 and 1998 when Polygram was being sold to Seagram.
