SKYLAR GREY Over The BROOK And Thru Her INVISIBLE Woods DARKLY

SKYLAR GREY was at war with herself...And now she's Coming Home.

Left needing A Doctor is the meek, long, brown-haired singer/songwriter Holly Brook whom was on the losing end of an epic struggle dramatically visualized for posterity:



In short, Skylar domineeringly confronts Holly telling her

I Want To Dance Without You

Ms. Brook violently shakes and convulses and tries to retain control of herself, but she is rendered helpless by an invincible cult of personality as SKYLAR GREY triumphantly emerges in all her newfound dark princess glory.

She was Born This Way.

Millions already know her or at least her voice.

I, like Producer extraordinaire Kaskade as he surmised in a recent promo video for his brilliant new double album Fire & Ice, first heard the voice of an angel in the sullen piano-powered intro of Diddy-Dirty Money's "Coming Home".

It sounded as if she was singing right into my ear. Her timbre resonated deeply.

And then, once you discover that she has either co-written (most likely the song's hook) or contributed vocals to a growing list of massive hits including "Love The Way You Lie" (Eminem/Rihanna), "I Need A Doctor" (Dr. Dre/Eminem) "Words I Never Said" (Lupe Fisco), “Castle Walls” (T.I. & Christina Aguilera), "Where'd You Go" (Fort Minor) and a killer new collaboration with the aforementioned Kaskade on "Room For Happiness," your consciousness is assaulted with the comet-like trajectory of a shooting star through the trees.

She's also recently penned a reverential Zombie-soaked track with Marilyn Manson called "Can't Haunt Me". It's set to appear on her forthcoming debut album INVINSIBLE of which the title track was just remixed AND video-remixed by Dirty South:

Needless to say, soon enough the re-born Ms. Brook will no longer be invisible as THOSE millions that have heard THAT voice will put a pretty face to it.

I've been fortunate to have seen her perform live a few times this year including at The Grammy Awards during the Eminem/Dr Dre/Rihanna medley (Skylar comes in at 4:09)



And I was on hand a month ago for a special Grammy/NARAS member-only event at their Producers & Engineers Wing in Santa Monica. Skylar was joined by Alex Da Kid whom is producing INVINSIBLE (it's being released on his KIDinaKORNER imprint through Interscope Records) and whom exploded onto the scene as the magic mechanic behind "Airplanes" by B.o.B and Hayley Williams.

Kid N Grey (not to be confused with Kid N Play) engaged in a spirited Q&A session with DJ Skee before she took to the piano to do a solo rendition of her smash-hit resume. Here's a similar performance taped at a radio station:



And tonight, I'm looking forward to her sold-out show at The Roxy in Hollywood. Between it being her debut LA performance as Skylar Grey and the sheer number of expected VIPs on hand, it should be one for the ages.

Here's some clips from her first ever show as doppelganger Ms. Grey at Rickshaw Stop in San Francisco on July 28, 2011:





She played songs from INVINSIBLE including "Building A Monster" "Beautiful Nightmare" "Dance Without You" "Tower" Creep" "Weirdo" "Final Warning" before finishing with a 13-minute medley that seams together "Can't Haunt Me", "Zombie" (Cranberries), "Coming Home" (Diddy-Dirty Money), "Words I Never Said" (Lupe Fisco), "I Need A Doctor" (Dr Dre) & "Love The Way You Lie" (Eminem/Rihanna):

Where there was once a babbling brook of words never said, now a deep dark reservoir of conciliatory water is set to boil over.

So while Holly Brook contemplates an invisible bad romance with label mate Stefani Germanotta, the rest of the world best be ready for the baby blue skies of pop culture to turn Grey.
