Skylar Grey Explains “How I Became INVINSIBLE” | Billboard ::
“….it’s the very beginning of the story that I’m telling on this album, so chronologically, it makes sense to release that part of my story first” says Grey….Grey, who wrote the tracks on “Invinsible” throughout the past year, says that she’s “98 percent finished” work on the debut album, which was helmed entirely by white-hot pop producer Alex da Kid….“One of the things I love about Alex is that he tells me when things suck,” Grey says with a laugh. “I really almost want to punch him in the face sometimes. Making a comment like, ‘Oh, I think you can do better,’ it might hurt at first, [but] then I’ll go back and tweak the song, and it’ll end up being better. So I’ll agree with him at the end of the day, so it’s only for the best that we have our differences….”

Skylar Grey – Video Interview+Article | ARTISTdirect ::
“….Grey haunts and hypnotizes on her debut album, Invinsible. Grey’s unique, ethereal croon makes for dark pop that transfixes on every hook and hum. She’s the alternative to absolutely everything out there and, in the process, she might just save modern music. Think of a mix between Portishead’s spacey genius and Fiona Apple’s soulful sonic caress, and you’ve got Skylar Grey. However, she’s even more than the sum of those part….Grey is about to change music (and the world)….”
Adam Lambert has also given Ms. Grey’s “Dance Without You” praise via his Twitter account, stating “….Skylar Grey- Dance Without You. SOOOO fresh!!….”. Examiner’s Boston Celebrity Headlines writer Maria Parece wrote an article regarding the Twitter post, which you can read below.
