Who is she? Well many of you might have only been realizing you’re hearing this stellar songstress’ music over the past month since Dr. Dre released his single I Need A Doctor off of his upcoming album, Detox.  Well truth be told, I think she is the brilliance that has helped singers and even been the reason for a lot of pop that has come out over the past couple years becoming famous.  Having been the original singer and writer of Love The Way You Lie, Skylar has gone way way way under everyone’s radar, garnering very little recognition for her talented writing and even more spectacular singing.  So for you haters (who are going to hate, just cause you gotta), listen to the song and then react to it. this is a great version of a song that will definitely convert you to fans of Skylar.

Not only has she done this wonderful rendition (which by the way is the original), but she was also featured on the hooks of many incredible tracks by pop stars and top 40 artists who have been using her rare talent to counter their gruff voices or messages.  Lupe Fiasco’s Words I Never Said and Fort Minor’s Where’d You Go are two examples in addition to I Need A Doctor.  As well as being a brilliant vocalist, she is a super talented writer/lyricist, having written Love the Way You Lie, Castle Walls (T.I. ft. Christina Aguilera) and co-written Coming Home by Diddy, Jay-Z and J Cole.  Seriously, this woman is ridiculous.
