Grey’s New Lyric Video | MySpace ::
“….Grey unveiled a brand new single, “C’mon Let Me Ride,” yesterday and its accompanying lyric video is nothing short of hilarious. The number, which features Eminem, is a kicky pop song that is basically about Grey wanted to ride someone’s bicycle. You know, someone’s bicycle. The lyric video is pretty literal, offering some amusing visual innuendos and kitchy fun. Which made us think about how most lyric videos are kind of serious. We like this idea of bringing some humor into the music….”Listen to Skylar Grey | MTV Buzzworthy ::
“….it’s a big week for Skylar Grey fans — not only do y’all get to hear your girl’s brand-new collaboration with Eminem, “C’Mon Let Me Ride,“ but you also get to watch a lyric video AND check out this VERY DOPE animated single art. We told you — it’s a BIG DAY….The playful track, which features a hefty sample of Queen’s 1978 hit “Bicycle Race,” was produced by Alex Da Kid and is a marked departure from Skylar’s moodier material. As opposed to brooding strings and somber melodies, Skylar opts for a vaguely reggae-tinged pop jam, layered with synths and shouty chants that kinda sorta remind us of the “WE!” in Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”….”[Lyric Video] | EARMILK ::
“….hip-hop’s king of satire Eminem has teamed up with singer/songwriter Skylar Grey once again to poke fun at “overly sexified music, media and the girls who try and imitate it,“….“C’mon Let Me Ride” is Grey’s first single off her upcoming debut album Don’t Look Down, and it shows a way more light-hearted, playful side of the Wisconsin-bred singer. Eminem delivers a pretty funny verse and sings the famous chorus of Queen’s “Bicycle Race”….the accompanying lyric video is pretty hilarious and overly suggestive (let’s just be real, it’s pretty raunchy), clearly serving its purpose as a buzzmaker for the actual video, which is set for release on December 11th to accompany the single’s official iTunes release. For every Skylar fan stringing together expletives over the pop-sounding release, Skylar’s stated that “C’mon Let Me Ride” is about as playful as she gets on Don’t Look Down, which is sure to harbor that familiar dark persona on a few cuts….”Grey Ft.

“….Eminem assists Skylar Grey on her single from her upcoming debut album Don’t Look Down. The songstress’ album will also be executive produced by her collaborator, Eminem….Shady channels his inner Queen for Skylar’s pop single….”Skylar Grey “C’mon Let Me Ride” | RnB Music Blog ::
“….Grey is switching things up….“C’mon Let Me Ride” which samples Queen’s 1978 hit “Bicycle Race,” is very edgy sound wise and has fun lyrics filled with double entendres that will have some people smiling and others cringing. Either way the satirical song will have fans talking….”Skylar Grey featuring Eminem | SBSCRPT ::
“….Grey’s usually downbeat and melancholic ambience steps aside for a more spirited and poppy track filled with sexual innuendos. “C’Mon Let Me Ride” features rap legend Eminem and the Alex Da Kid-produced track samples Queen’s “Bicycle Race.” It’s a whole new look, new sound for Grey….”Official Lyric Video | MedleyMag ::
“….Skylar attempts to push the envelope with a sound that differs from records she’s been on in the past. The single features raunchy yet childish lyrics that lack subtlety….Thankfully, the whole song was meant to be a joke. Skylar claims that she wrote this song to expose and poke fun of the overly sexualized lyrics that many of today’s hit records are made of. It’ll be interesting to see if sex– or in this case, satire sells for Skylar Grey….”[LISTEN] | HipHopWired ::
“….Grey takes on a version of Queen’s “Bicycle Race” and grabs Eminem on this song, “C’Mon Let Me Ride.“ Eminem, who will be executive producing Grey’s album, lends a verse to the song and playfully impersonates Freddie Mercuryon this remake….”Eminem Featured on Grey’s New Track | andPOP ::
“….we warn you it’s NSFW….the track, which takes melodic inspiration from Queen’s “Bicycle Race,” is schexy right from the start….It’s actually all meant as a joke — a satire of overly sexified music. Get it?….”
