Skylar Gray had to sell her music catalog to \u201cafford\u201d her divorce from fellow singer-songwriter Elliott Taylor. <\/p>\n

\u201cSince 2017, I was going through a divorce and lawsuit, that was just wrecking me emotionally and financially,\u201d Gray, 36, told Variety in an interview published Monday. <\/p>\n

“This past year, 2021, we finally resolved it, settled, I had to sell my catalog in order to afford the settlement, which was very sad in a way, because those songs like ‘Love The Way You Lie’ and ‘Coming Home , ‘those are my babies. ” <\/p>\n

Gray notably penned \u201cLove the Way You Lie\u201d for Eminem and Rihanna and \u201cComing Home\u201d for Diddy, both released in 2010. She also memorably contributed to Dr. Dre’s performance of \u201cI Need a Doctor\u201d at the 2011 Grammys. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gray and Taylor, 32, co-wrote Celine Dion’s “Falling in Love Again” for the pop icon’s 2019 album, “Courage.” <\/p>\n

\u201cNobody can tell me I didn’t write those songs just ’cause I don’t own the rights to them anymore,\u201d Gray told Variety. “I didn’t want to sell them, but it was my only way to put the past behind me.”<\/p>\n

Though the musician never wanted to relinquish the rights to her her hits, she is relieved that they helped her break free from her marriage. <\/p>\n

\u201cI have such a weight off of me now with the case being over, I’m not on the phone with lawyers every day, and I’m not having to pay all these legal bills anymore,\u201d she said. “Now I’m just focused on creating a new catalog and new money and new opportunities.” <\/p>\n

Gray may be looking forward to the future, but she still reflects on her past work with a sense of pride. <\/p>\n

“[My songs are] still near and dear to my heart and yeah, I will always treasure them, but it’s different now. Every time one of those songs get used in a movie or whatever, I don’t see any of that money anymore. But unfortunately, the majority of what I got paid for my catalog went to taxes and my ex-husband, \u201dshe said with a laugh. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s like your life’s work, and then suddenly it’s like, ‘OK, I’ve got to give the majority of this away.’ But that was my only option. Luckily, I had the option of doing something like that, otherwise I may not have gotten out of the case. “<\/p>\n

Gray has emerged back into the spotlight with a new self-titled album that she describes as a \u201ccathartic release\u201d post-divorce. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s expressing a lot of emotions I felt over however many years it’s been,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd it was hard, it was a lot of turmoil, depression, I was going through a lot of shit. So this album, I feel like reflects those emotions and the things that I was going through. ” <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
