Singer/songwriter Skylar Grey talks to a Dutch magazine Numero about losing ownership of her catalogue and building a new future.
Having lost her songs to a nasty divorce, Skylar Grey is working on building a new legacy and writing new songs. One of her recent hits recorded for the Venom movie franchise, “Last One Standing” feat. Eminem, Polo G & Mozzy, was certified gold in the US in late February.
When asked, with whom Skylar would like to collaborate, she does not try to be demonstratively original, she likes to keep the good thing she has already had:
I’ve already had my dream collaboration — Eminem. Multiple times. And I’d like to keep doing more with him. For me, it doesn’t get any better than that. There are many other people I would love to work with, but if I never collaborated with another artist else again I’d die happy.
But hopefully, dying is not among her top priorities, as her immediate plans are all about music:
This year I’ll be dropping a Greatest Hits album which will include re-recorded versions of hit songs I’ve been a part of… “Love the Way You Lie,” “Coming Home,” and “Clarity”, to name a few. And I’ll be performing at a bunch of events. But I’m also simultaneously working on brand new music, which I’m most excited about. It’s in very early stages but will let you know when the project really starts taking shape.
Also, Skylar is dreaming about scoring a game or/and a movie, but no good scripts are coming her way so far. Who knows, maybe Skylar will write her own project?
