I'm gonna need a more acoustic, natural-sounding album this time around. Don't Look Down was excellent, but it was too pop for my taste, and Come On Let Me Ride and a couple others didn't fit on the album.

Listen to 'Like Blood, Like Honey' if you haven't heard it already. Skylar recorded it back in 2006 under the name Holly Brook. It's really good.
Skylar also did an interview last November with Billboard, and this what she said about the new album:
How far along are you on the record?
I’m constantly morphing because I’m discovering new things in the studio. It’s kind of like a free-flowing thing. But there’s something happening with me in the studio right now that seems kind of magical, all the sounds I ever envisioned coming together are coming together now. I’m working with my dream team, Mike Elizondo and Mark Batson. I feel like I have 80 or 90 percent done with all the writing. So hopefully that means I’ll be able to announce a release date soon.
Can you give us a preview then sonically of the new material?
I’m definitely taking some risks on the album and I’m doing some kind of avant-garde songs and then there are some songs that are not quite so avant-garde. But they sound really cool. It’s definitely more mature than the last album, I feel like on the last album I talked about my childhood and I’m definitely not doing that on this album. It’s more adult and a little bit darker. I’m not doing any collaborations, I just want it to keep it me. http://www.billboard.com/articles/co...ies-its-a-nice
