Skylar Grey - Invisible
Artist: Skylar Grey
Producer: Alex Da Kid
Album: Invinsible
Label: KIDinaKORNER/Interscope
To say Skylar Grey‘s ascent to becoming the latest “it” girl was planned is completely wrong. A solo artist and songwriter well outside of the hip-hop world, it was a twist of fate more than anything that found Grey showing up on huge singles from Rihanna, Dr. Dre and Lupe Fiasco and becoming the hook queen of the year in the process. Well, with the help of longtime production collaborator Alex da Kid, Skylar’s lead single Invisible ironically finds her stepping into the spotlight. Co-written by Matchbox 20’s own Rob Thomas, Invisible takes us on a trip into the world of an outcast willing to do anything to be noticed. Behind Alex’s pounding drums and moody guitars, which have a much softer feel than most of his previous work, Grey shows off the pen skills that match her eye opening vocals, piecing together lyrics aimed for those alienated. But will it be enough to establish Skylar as a solo star? That’s up to you. Either way, while her debut disc, the similarly-entitled Invinsible, isn’t set to drop until the fall, Grey’s already primed to own the summer.

I like Skylar's vocals and her penchant for moving my soul with her emotional drawn out notes, but this song needs an "alternative" version with Bobby Ray getting her back for "Airplanes" with a special guest 16 (on the front end). The song will have more crossover appeal at radio and secure her credentials amongst a more urban audience. Are any Interscope A&Rs; reading this?

So much better than 'Dance without You' in terms of getting radio play. This has a potential to smash, but yes, needs a guest rapper at the end.

the instrumental is beautifully crafted...i personally think her vocals need a lil more "depth" somehow to them..apart from that, a really nice single, but yes, guest 16 bars is definately needed...either way, hmm....3.5 round up to 4

I just can't see her making a splash as a solo artist. I think she is great as a feature or for a chorus, but her voice isn't captivating or commanding enough for her to be a solo artist.

Is this the same Skylar Grey that was magnificent on "I need a doctor" and "Coming home"?

Skyler has actually already released a couple albums under the name Holly Brook. She was also the hook girl on Fort Minor's 'Where'd You Go'. Just in case anyone is interested in hearing some other work by her. As far as this song goes, I like it. I'm sure people will eat this up.

I been wanting to hear a good single from Grey and I think this is it. She shows that she isnt the female Nate Dogg but more like Bruno Mars. I think it is the production that makes it seem like a rapper on the front or backend could work when infact, she needs no one.

Hmm, To be honest, the drums go a little too hard for the song to me. And I like her hook, but the lyrics are a little weak. I'll still keep an eye out.

Skylar is a breath of fresh air in the industry for me, or at least she has the potential to be. I don't see this storming the charts or radio but it's certainly proof that she's more than a hook girl

Decent... I thought it was better before the hook started.

not feeling the production here. percussion sounds too loud in the back which is a bit disturbing. the overall song might have been better with a slower beat.

I think the point is to let her stand on her own. I'm not trying to downgrade her presence on a hook but you can't keep talent like this confined to just being the "queen of hooks" for long. Adding a rapper would undoubtedly put her in rotation on more stations (how great is it that this is true) but I like that she is solo on this one. It matches the subject matter of the song too.
