Teza Sumendra puts his stamp on this soulful love tune withhis outstanding vocal talent, bringing a mix of smoothness, emotion and ear-opening nuances in his performance to enhance the vibe of the song. By drawing influence from Smokey Robinson's classic writing, Teza brings part of himself to "Crusin" in a way which encourages fans of R&B/Soul to admire his ability as a singer and hopefully want to hear more.
