Skylar Grey – A Personal Note & Press Release | Press Release ::
Eminem to Executive Produce Skylar’s debut album Don’t Look Down - new single “C’mon Let Me Ride” ft. Eminem to be released December 11th.

13-time GRAMMY winning producer, songwriter and rapper Eminem has signed on as executive producer of debut album from five-time GRAMMY-nominated singer songwriter Skylar Grey . The first single, “C’mon Let Me Ride” featuring Eminem, which is produced by Alex Da Kid and mixed by both Eminem and Alex, will be released on December 11. Grey’s debut album, now titled Don’t Look Down, is due out Spring 2013 from KIDinaKORNER/Interscope.

“When I was working on Recovery I was introduced to Skylar by Alex Da Kid and I was blown away with her talent as both a songwriter and vocalist,” said Eminem. “This album is really going to give her a chance to connect with the fans who probably know her music, but might not know her yet.  I think they will be as impressed as I am.”

“Putting out a debut album is a bit scary – I want it to be just right so I took some extra time to finish it. Eminem’s increased involvement has been such a blessing; I’m getting guidance from an artist I really admire and trust,” said Grey. “Having written many new songs, the album has become a completely different animal, hence the title change. This new single with Em, in particular, is very exciting. We have worked on so many serious songs together – it’s a nice change of pace to do something fun and sarcastic.”

“Skylar is one of the first artists that I worked with in a meaningful way. I was immediately impressed with her vision, fearlessness, artistic talent and overall musicianship. I was determined to make her the first artist signed to KIDinaKORNER. KIDinaKORNER was founded on the principals of signing innovative artists that have the ability to blur our perceptions of genres. To me, Skylar Grey represents the embodiment of this principal,” said Alex.

The music video for “C’mon Let Me Ride” featuring Eminem was shot in Detroit two weeks agand will also be released with the single on December 11.

Skylar Grey, Don’t Look Down, and Eminem | Rolling Stone ::
“….Eminem has faith in Grey, as well. “When I was working on Recovery, I was introduced to Skylar by Alex Da Kid and I was blown away with her talent as both a songwriter and vocalist,” says the rapper in a press release. “This album is really going to give her a chance to connect with the fans who probably know her music but might not know her yet. I think they will be as impressed as I am.”

The title of Don’t Look Down comes from the song “Tower, one of four holdovers from INVINSIBLE, an album she originally intended to release as her debut under the Skylar Grey moniker (it was ultimately scrapped). “I think a song that can make it through the past year that I’ve had of writing new songs and throwing ones away is worth having the album title named after,” she says.

“I put out [the single] ‘Invisible’ and I was feeling like I was so busy promoting an album and a song and I felt like I hadn’t finished my album yet,” she says. “So I kind of took a step back and had a conversation with Jimmy [Iovine] and he was totally on my side. He said, ‘Look, this is your first album; it has to be exactly what you want it to be.’ So we mutually agreed to slow down the whole process and let me take my time finishing the songs until I felt like it was there.”….”

Skylar Grey CDLXXXV :: “Bicycle” Single feat. Eminem | Rumor

RapDose has gotten ahold of a rumor regarding a possible new Skylar Grey single featuring Eminem, entitled “Bicycle”. Only time will tell how much truth there is to the existence of the rumored track, but given how quiet Ms. Grey has been in recent months, chances are that she’s been up to something big.

Check out an excerpt from the RapDose post below!

Skylar Grey feat. Eminem – “Bicycle” Single Rumor | RapDose ::
“….the track is set to feature a verse from frequent collaborator Eminem and should be making rounds soon. The song is “mid-tempo with nasty bass synth in it, according to Tampa Bay radio station 93.3‘s DJ Goofy WhiteKid who also says ”Bicycle” is more playful than anything he’s ever heard from Skylar Grey.

We here at Rap Dose haven’t heard Skylar Grey‘s new single yet, but it sure sounds promising….”
