Skylar Grey DXLIV :: PopCrush’s Artist To Watch In 2013

PopCrush has named Ms. Grey one of their Artists To Watch In 2013, with Scott Shetler writing a short sum-up of why she was chosen for their list.

SKYLAR GREY – ARTIST TO WATCH IN 2013 | PopCrush ::
“….it’s odd that a three-time Grammy nominee could still be under the radar, but that’s the case for Skylar Grey, who will finally see the release of her long-delayed album in 2013 after years of songwriting and guest verse contributions for other artists.

Grey’s big break came when she penned the hook for ‘Love the Way You Lie, Eminem‘s duet withRihanna.

That was followed by appearance on the Diddy-Dirty Money track ‘Coming Home, Dr. Dre‘s ‘I Need a Doctor, Lupe Fiasco‘s ‘Words I Never Said’ and Kaskade‘s ‘Room for Happiness.

Grey’s solo music hasn’t lit up the charts, but her upcoming album ‘Don’t Look Down’ will provide an opportunity for a fresh start. The ridiculous (in a good way) first single, ‘C’Mon Let Me Ride, features Eminem singing the hook from Queen‘s ‘Bicycle Race.….”

Skylar Grey – Celebrities Without Makeup | PopCrush ::
“….don’t even try to deny it — seeing pictures of celebrities without makeup is a huge source of entertainment for all of us pop culture fanatics.

Many of us hold celebrities in such high regard, expecting them to look freakishly beautiful at all times, that seeing them without tons of professional cosmetics painted onto their seemingly perfect faces almost makes them more human in a way — not like some foreign super race of people that us average folks could never compare to.

Check out these pictures of Miley Cyrus, Adele, Rihanna plus many other female celebrities without makeup and get a reality check as to what these gals really look like….

….Grey‘s head looks like a baked potato! But don’t let her foil ‘do distract you — the ‘C’Mon Let Me Ride’ still clearly looks great without the assistance of cosmetics.

Even though it seems as if Ms. Grey is attempting some sort of Rasta from the future look, she’s just undergoing some heavy duty hair dying. The ‘I Need a Doctor’ collaborator ditched her normal makeup routine for the salon, and looks very pretty sans foundation, lipstick, and her signature smokey eyes.

As for her hair? Well, we’re sure it looked fantastic once she got rid of that aluminum wig!….

Skylar Grey DXXXIV :: Exclusive ‘Don’t Look Down’ Interview w/ HipHopDX

HipHopDX has published a brand new interview with Ms. Grey today (December 25), conducted by Jonathan Tobias. This interview covers more of Ms. Grey’s Don’t Look Down album as a whole, and gives some information regarding the album’s overall sound, Eminem’s involvement on tracks other than C’mon Let Me Ride, and who will produce the album along with Alex Da Kid.

Read some excerpts below, and click the article’s title to view the full-length version on HipHopDX.

Grey Explains Mood of Debut Album | HipHopDX ::
“….Skylar had this to say about what listeners can expect from her new album: “There are a lot of different things on the album. ‘C’mon Let me Ride’ definitely does not represent the rest of the album. You will hear things that are more expected, more melancholy, more melodic.  Then there is stuff that is more fun. That is because when I started making this album, the oldest song was two years old and was right around the time I wrote ‘Love The Way You Lie. After that song, I felt a lot of love while working with great people and having money again. I had a couple of really happy years and started writing some happier songs too. ‘C’mon Let me Ride’ is reflective of these good times”….

As previously mentioned, Eminem has given Skylar Grey a lot of advice. Out of all the sessions that Skylar Grey has had with Eminem, she speaks on the best advice that he gave her: “Well I have a lot of identity crises. I love so many different kinds of music and fashion. I am all over the map.  Sometimes I go too far in one direction and I say ‘Oh no, that’s not me. Eminem told me, ‘Just be you. That is so simple yet so true. I should not try and be anything, I should just be me. It should be as easy as breathing to put out this album and make these songs.”….

Don’t Look Down is scheduled to be released in early 2013 with more appearances from Eminem along with a feature from Marilyn Manson. As far as producers go, Skylar is going to be working with Alex Da Kid and J.R Rotem, among others….”

Skylar Grey DVIII :: The Wall Street Journal, 9-DEC-2012 | Online Edition

The Wall Street Journal has published a feature article on Ms. Grey, written by Senior Editorial Director Christopher John Farley.

The online edition of the WSJ is subscription-based, but the article has been made free-to-read for a limited time – check out an excerpt below, and click the photo to access the full-length article while it’s still available!

Skylar Grey by Christopher John Farley | The Wall Street Journal ::
“….Grey aims to make the most of her latest chance to make a first impression.

The singer-songwriter is set to release her debut album “Don’t Look Down” in the spring for KIDinaKORNER/Interscope Records. Vivendi SA’s Interscope recently announced that chart-topping rapper Eminem will serve as the executive producer of the coming release, a move that is nearly certain to increase Ms. Grey’s commercial prospects….

“It’s really nice to have his eyes and ears there because I trust them, and I can bounce things off of him and know that I’m getting good feedback, Ms. Grey said in an interview….

Ms. Grey faces a challenge in her musical rebranding because her roots are in folk and pop, but the public knows her primarily as a vocalist who collaborates with rappers….

Ms. Grey said she isn’t concerned about whether or not people will think that her musical makeover is authentic. “I think only time will show people that, she said. “I think when people hear the whole album and live with it for awhile, they’ll realize there’s a real person in all of that”….”
