crushing on girl vocals in a grey way...

Yeeeee its friday! And I couldn't be more excited about how little I actually have "planned" for the weekend! Aside from the fact that it was a 4 day work week, for some odd reason this week seems to have crept by... And in light spending what seems like countless hours locked up in my cubicle i have been slipping away into a new type of Pandora station to help the time pass... girl crush alert!! girl crush alert!!!! the soft coo of skylar grey’s voice has undoubtedly grabbed a hold of my girl crushing heart. her vocals, which have been featured in hit songs like “coming home” by diddy-dirty money and “i need a doctor” by eminem and dr. dre, come across as haunting yet eerily beautiful. while she’s best known for her hook singing abilities, i was surprised to learn that she's also a very talented songwriter. in fact, her writing contributions to the song "love the way you lie", made commercially successful by eminem and rihanna, earned her a grammy nomination. how cool is that! here she is performing the demo version of the song... 
If you think her voice sounds familiar, it's probably because you've heard it before. prior to her recent success, skylar was known as holly brook and featured in the fort minor song "where'd you go." (which was a song that was locked on serious repeat for days back when...)

"Within the 'undefined' or 'gray' areas lies an infinite amount of possibilities"
