Skylar Grey: "C'mon Let Me Ride" (feat. Eminem) First Listen
15 December, 2012 8:48 PM
UPDATE: Watch the music video!
"My new song is a very clear example of the part of me that will surprise my fans. I'm also really silly and I have a really dirty mind", the singer confesses. The song is definitely a major departure from darker tracks like "Coming Home", favouring a more poptastic sound. The stand out isn't the song itself though, but the raunchy lyric video, which is plagued with hilarious sexual references from beginning to end. This is what Skylar had to say about the song's meaning: I'm poking fun at the overly sexualized aspects of today's culture and music and everything". Yeah, right. Regarding her debut album, it's no longer called "Invinsible", nor is coming out this year. Now it's title is "Don't Look Down" and will be hitting the stores, presumably, on spring 2013, with Eminem as the executive producer. So Skylar fans, you'll just have to wait a little longer.

MDS Sound of 2012: Skylar Grey
11 January, 2012 3:38 PM
One word... "Invisible". One of my favorite songs of 2011 and the debut single for the upcoming album of Interscope recording artist Skylar Grey. She wrote the hook to the massive 2010 hit "Love the Way You Lie" by Eminem featuring Rihanna and earned a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year for her contributions, she can be heard performing a demo of the song below. Grey's music can be described as dark and eerie pop/hip-hop while her voice has a similar tone to that of Sarah McLachlan and American Idol finalist Haley Reinhart. In the end product, her music balances itself out well. She has a great variety of influences, the most telling being Marilyn Manson, Sarah McLachlan, Bob Dylan and Death Cab for Cutie. Skylar Grey's debut album "Invinsible" is scheduled a January 2012 release, with Interscope behind her, the world should prepare to be wowed. This girl is definitely one to watch.
