Don't Look Down (formerly titled Invinsible) is the forthcoming second studio album and major-label debut by American singer-songwriter Skylar Grey. The album is set to be released on July 9th, 2013 through KIDinaKORNER Records and Interscope Records.

Production and recording

The album was previously titled Invinsible.The album's title was a portmanteau of "invisible" and "invincible", an idea that was given to her by Marilyn Manson. Grey has said that the album is to be a complete departure from any of her previous work, stating in interviews with Los Angeles Times Magazine and Rap-Up that the album's sound is "...commercial, yet avant-garde...", with "...cinematic beats and atmospheric hooks...",[2] and "...sonically I can tell you that every song sounds different and it's really diverse, kind of going from cinematic to fun to dark. Alex and I really push each other creatively...".

Recorded in 2010 and 2011, the album was produced by Eminem and Alex da Kid, and is set to feature Marilyn Manson as a guest artist.[3]

The album was originally set to be released in late 2011 or early 2012. Eminem was confirmed to be featured on several tracks on the album.

"Building A Monster" was featured on the Frankenweenie soundtrack.[4]

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Grey announced that Eminem is to executive produce the album. She also said she has been working with J. R. Rotem. The album is to be released in 2013, following the release of "C'mon Let Me Ride" .[5]

The first single "C'mon Let Me Ride" featuring Eminem was released on airplay on November 27, 2012. The Music video was released on December 11, 2012, on VEVO along with the single, which is available for download on iTunes.
