Single Review: Macklemore & Skylar Grey - "Glorious / *Audio Included

macklemore glorious cover

Is the end of the Macklemore and Ryan Lewis dynamic duo?

Macklemore released a new single entitled “Glorious” today. Surprisingly, there’s no “& Ryan Lewis” in the artist tag. Ryan had not participation in this song whatsoever. Joshua “Budo” Karp produced “Glorious”. Rumor has it Macklemore is currently cooking a full-length studio album without Ryan Lewis. And this should be something very scary for Ryan. Without Macklemore, his finance will struggle.

Glorious” features Skylar Grey (hey! long time no see!) vocals in the choruses.

I feel glorious, glorious / Got a chance to start again / I was born for this, born for this”, sings Eminem protégée Skylar over an anthemic piano and clapping production. Although it’s Skylar singing these lyrics, it actually could be coming from a Macklemore experience. If you take a close look at the single cover, you’ll see Macklemore holding his daughter Sloane in his arms. The “got a chance to start again” lyric, although sung by Skylar, could be something that Macklemore wrote, but let Skylar sing for radio-friendliness purposes, about his own life. Maybe he's saying in "Glorious" that he won't repeat the same mistakes that he perhaps saw his parents do while raising him with Sloane.

This is quality music and deserves much success! And welcome back to our lives Skylar. I know your recording artist career wasn't much efficacious but you definitely still have your career as a songwriter and as a collaborator intact.
