Image KRU have declared themselves as a rap group instead of being just a boy band. In an interview with Singapore's Berita Harian, Norman acknowledge there are similarities and differences between KRU and other boy bands: "What makes us not a boy band is, we are not manufactured and not packaged in a seamless shapes like other boy bands. It's true [that] our group is made up of a men and we are also dancing while on stage. But, boy bands usually won't last long. They're just released one or two albums, and then, disappeared". Earlier in their career, KRU is known to have incorporated their cleaner image. In order to be the role model to their fans, the trio monitor their moves. Norman said: "We don't smoke, drinking alcohols and we are always well-dressed" [...] For the sake of [our] fans, we'd tried to avoid these. Moreover, it is not good for health". KRU's personal image was later highlighted and praised by Roslen Fadzil of Harian Metro who commended the brothers for not bringing bad images on any occasions, even in their concerts, much like some of their contemporaries but still being able to have an illustrious career. Musical styles and themes Throughout their career, KRU have explored many musical genres, which spans pop, R&B, dance and hip hop, with a focus on catchy melodies and energetic rhythms. The brothers also included genres like a cappella, ballad, new jack swing and funk. Most of their songs were performed by Yusry and Edry as the lead singers, while Norman contributed rap in some of their songs. Their first studio album, Canggih, features distinct musical concepts with the blend of rap, pop, rock, techno and reggae, while their third album, Awas! incorporates genres such as soul and dance. With The Way We Jam, the brothers incorporate a more "stronger scent of the R&B" while maintaining their hip hop sound; the album features a unique identity which has been described as a "familiar rhythm and blues-soul grooves combined with some very mushy love ballads". "Formula", from Formula Luarbiasa, on the other hand, was considered to be inspired by funky groove sounds. Later in their career, KRU transitioned to spiritual and other music genres, exploring a combination of "modern music and electronic sounds". Meanwhile, "Fobia", a soundtrack of 1998 animated film, Silat Lagenda, was considered as KRU's reflections of their outburst of anxiety. "Cherrina" is said to be inspired by Norman's reflections of the death of his college friend due to road accident. Saniboey Mohd Ismail, writing for Harian Metro, examined that messages in KRU's songs "never directly leads to negative values as expressed by most Western rappers who are based on the rhythm of gangsta rap". While they almost exclusively release Malaysian Malay songs, KRU has also released Malaysian English songs. They are also known to have at least three or more English tracks on each of their album, and released a full English album, The Way We Jam in 1998. Edry, the youngest of the KRU brothers, is a primary songwriter and producer for most of their songs. Regarding their songwriting process, Norman explained that they "took seriously" when it comes to music: "We produced our own albums, composed our own songs and managed our own careers. The most appropriate title for us not just as a singer, but a singer-songwriter and [record] producer". Aside their own music, KRU has also written and produced songs for other artists. Their compositions have been performed by a number of artists, including Jaclyn Victor, Anita Sarawak, Erra Fazira, Ella, Tiara Jacquelina, Anuar Zain, Amy Mastura, Ning Baizura, Rabbani, Elite and Feminin. ==Impact and legacy==

Faizal Saharuni of Kosmo! wrote, "There is no doubt that everything has been done by KRU, which acts as a pioneer of modern Malay music [...] They succeeded in bringing about significant changes through the taste of local songs, thus opening up more space for various current rhythmic trends".
