Skylar Gray


The first time I saw her was on the Guitar Center Sessions.  No rap involved there, so I got to enjoy her singing and playing solo.  But Skylar (or should I say Holly Brook...which is her real name and the one on the first CD I bought by her) worked with Eminem on the album and so we get a nonsensical rap in the middle of the song.  I wouldn't have minded the rap if it fit more...just sounds like rambling.  But the rest of the song is very cool.  Her vocals are spot on.

Why I Wrote An Album (and the little surprise that came with it)

Was it a midlife crisis?  Was it the fulfillment of a childhood fantasy?  Was it a diversion from some difficult life changes?

Yes, I'd say a little of each.

One thing was for sure.  I went farther with it than I really thought I would.
