Almost Seventeen is the third album by Japanese singer and actress Crystal Kay.[ citation needed ] It is her second R&B dominant album and is produced by a similar team who worked on 637: Always and Forever. A large part of the record was written and produced by Michico and T-Kura of Giant Swing Productions.
