True crime. Serial killers. Human nature. When it comes to themes and songwriting, this is as real as it gets. We are joined by one of the more unique artists IUF has ever had the privilege to speak with – the mesmerizing and stirring SKYND. Donned inside the dark elements, there is no filter within her, and there is no act. Everything you see is what’s on the surface, as she takes the stories from true crimes and serial killers and turns them into these shocking and unforgettable cinematic music videos. We also speak with SKYND about the motives and ideas behind these controversial songs, and it is quite the spiral pathway she takes us through. Throughout her music catalog, SKYND’s songs are titled after the main killers, giving it a strong impression amongst her viewers (“Michelle Carter,” “Columbine,” “Katherine Knight”). Make no mistake, she is not glorifying the killers – rather, SKYND is raising awareness about these countless amounts of horrid crimes that people may not have enough information about. Paying respect to these victims who have lost their lives is the endgame, and she is dedicated to every one out there within her lyrics and within her visuals. It is a dark world out there, and SKYND embraces it while displaying that to full devotion. Alongside the imagery and influence behind her songs, we talk to her about the collaboration with renowned heavy music artist, Jonathan Davis of Korn – on the track “Gary Heidnik.” Getting the chance to work with one of her own musical influences is something she couldn’t be more grateful for. For SKYND, it’s also about being a storyteller and she is putting this out there with a full imagery of talent with it. There’s the horror genre, and then there is the art that is SKYND. This is an episode you will not want to miss with a talented individual, tune in now and be sure to stay on the lookout for SKYND’s third upcoming album, “Chapter III,” due out this Fall.
