Eminem approves of Skylar Grey’s new music video for Vampire at the Swimming Pool.
The Grammy-nominated singer dropped the music video for her single that came out back in November 18, 2021. Her long-time collaborator and friend, Eminem gave a shoutout to the song from his Instagram stories and from his record company, Shady Records.
Skylar Grey garnered much attention for her eerie and distinctive vocals on Dr. Dre’s I Need A Doctor which featured Grey and Slim Shady which was released back in 2010. Since then, Grey has been a part of many hits released by the rapper, 50.
In response to Em’s story, Grey reshared the post and wrote, “Thank u eminem love you bro” (sic)
In the past, Skylar has credited Em for having her back during a dark period in her life. She also attributed her musical success to the rapper’s support.
“Because of Black Magic, my Spotify surpassed 4 million monthly listeners today… which is double what it was just a couple weeks ago. I want to take this moment to publicly express my gratitude for Marshall and everything he has done for me in the past 10 years. When he cut “Love The Way You Lie,” my career was suddenly on fire," she wrote.
"And he could have stopped there… but he didn’t. Black Magic is the 14th song we’ve worked on together… over the years he’s continued to include me in projects, bring me on tour, and show me tons of support. Even when other people gave up on me, he never did. Even after I parted ways with Interscope Records, he still believed in me. So to me, he’s beyond a collaborator, a mentor, or a friend… he’s family."
"From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU Marshall… for all of the incredible opportunities, and for always having my back… I am forever indebted to you. Love you so much homie,” Skylar said on her social media accounts.
Speaking of the track and its newly released visual element in a press release, Grey revealed that the video was "the first look at the new me".
"A reinvention. My album was very sad, which reflected my life at the time I made it. But I am no longer sad. Having made it through the darkness I feel more powerful than ever. Maybe even a tinge vengeful. Anti-hero-esque. Power is born from pain."
The 36-year-old musician recently revealed that she had to sell her music catalogue, which included award-winning songs like Eminem's Love The Way You Lie and Diddy's Coming Home, and Glorious by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, to fund her divorce from her ex-husband Todd Mandel.
