  1. @@Jack I thought it was a pretty good album. A few of the tracks are borderline, but I love most of it. I think there are quite a few tracks that got shelved when she changed the album's name if I'm not mistaken. Those would probably have been more along the lines of Invisible.

    I was kind of stunned that this artist didn't have a thread already, so I took matters into my own hands. I don't know all that much about her so hopefully this isn't an atrocity.

    I discovered her a really long time ago, not really sure how, but she's phenomenal. Her music has even been described as "Bubble Gum Lana Del Rey". She released her first album, Like Blood Like Honey in 2006 under the name Holly Brook. It didn't seem to garner much attention, though it's still on iTunes. She's written quite a few hit songs since then, never for herself though. Eminem's Love The Way You Lie was penned by her. She recorded a really great EP called O'Dark:Thirty in 2010. Later that year she changed her name to Skylar Grey. She got connected with Eminem somehow and Even though her music is more on the folk side of things, the two have worked together several times (I'm not really a fan of this work). Her first Studio album under the new name was originally titled Invinsible but it ended up being called Don't Look Down. It's a really solid album, save for a few tracks. I'd definitely recommend buying it. It's very multifaceted though generally on the sadder side with folk vocals and almost hip hop beats. The lyrics are nothing short of incredible and very daring at times, She even throws in an occasional Unabomber reference. Her unreleased track with Marilyn Manson is also quite interesting. She's definitely worth checking out.
