There’s much to say about Skye Townsend! She’s an intricately developed BEast, both as an actor and musically. While her last name may BE extremely familiar, she’s the daughter of actor/writer/producer RoBErt Townsend, she’s decided to create her own lane of independence while growing to BE as big of a name as her dad. With all of the love that BE has for Skye, I could probably write a book on how talented and amazing she is, but wouldn’t it BE more fun for Skye to tell you about all of the things she has going on for herself? Here’s ‘A Black Summer’s Skye”…in her own words.

“I just recently decided to drop my debut EP entitled “VOMIT”. Clearly, by looking at the title, I decided to do things my way. “VOMIT” is a musical compilation of all the relationships, experiences and emotions that I’ve been exposed to in the past few years and metaphorically digested. I put the project together with no help from a label and even without a manager. I decided to break all rules with this project. It has 90′s R&B influences, Ghanian chants, rock guitars, acapella spoken word, collaborations and haunting lyrics. As far as lyrical content, I didn’t want to sugarcoat or overly sexualize my music. I covered dealing with the pain of the other woman, abusive relationships, running off a good man, how it feels to fall in love, competing with marijuana for attention and letting go of past pain. I was worried because I knew it all might be a bit agressive.. considering the fact that I’m 18.. but I took a risk.”

“On a serious note, my next video “Go Fish!” (ft. Karina Pasian & Chris O’Bannon) covers physical abuse and unhealthy relationships. The video is an aggressive black and white action filled video. It’s meant to encourage, enlighten and educate anybody who may not have the strength to move forward.”

“This is a debut post from Skye Townsend on xCaliber Lifestyle.. cheers to that because she deserves it. Getting her voice exposed in Detroit is vital.

Skye Townsend is out of LA and is a very talented upcoming artist, actor, and poet. In the past she posted many videos on YouTube doing covers to songs such as Frank Ocean’s “Thinking About You” and Usher’s “Climax”. She was also featured on the song “Time Flies” from Casey Veggies’ Sleeping In Class album. Skye released her first EP titled “VOMIT” not too long ago. I just got the chance to listen to it and I must say she blew me away with her vocals. Skye is very ambitious and I can’t wait to see her grow throughout her career! Every girl in the world can relate to at least one over her songs on VOMIT. Cheating, lies, deceit, love, lust, and hope sum up this beautifully put together EP.

Onto my favorites… AK-47, Show Me You Care, It’s Normal, Go Fish, Eagle, Hazel, and Free… what do you know, that’s the whole tape ahah.

AK-47 - A young lady caught her man cheating and the thought of the girl is haunting her! So, she’s got the AK-47 sitting in her droor with evil thoughts, and ready for whatever is about to pop off.”
