Produced by Timbaland and created during the midst of a pandemic, Justine Skye was originally approached by Timbaland via Instagram DM after posting “Space & Time” cover sessions. Subsequently, the talented and ever-working Virgo sent him an official verse which then became the starting point of the lead single, ‘Intruded’, that came in February. Thus, this exchange set off the start of the entire album and their partnership.
Created during the midst of the pandemic, “This album was made when all we had was SPACE and distance between us + TIME to think and create.”
Back when Tumblr was popping in 2013, a fan anonymously asked Justine Skye to make a song with multifaceted artist and producer, Timbaland. She sarcastically replied, “Oh yea, lemme call him up right now… lol I wish it was that easy, dude.”
Now, with an entire album produced by Timbaland, Skye calls this album “the bad bitch manual”.

“If you don’t like my music, that’s totally fine… cause I made it for bad bitches anyways.”
With techno R&B tempos and deep “poppy” melodies, the album took a little over two weeks to complete. During a two-week stay in Miami, Justine Skye, Timbaland, and many other artists, such as Justin Bieber, Diddy, and Justin Timberlake, contributed to the creation of the album. Finishing touches came in the months that followed.
‘In My Bag’, song number 3 on the album, and a fan favorite, talks about having confidence and making money.
The hot girl anthem features Justine Skye “rap-singing”, a new technique for Skye that showcases her range. After spamming Skye on Twitter for a music video, fans are sure to be expecting one for this song soon.
“I never felt confident enough to say anything… and now it’s like, yeah nigga! Ima call you out for what you did right there. You shoulda never texted me that, so boom, put that in a song. All y’all fake over there… put that in a song. Bitch, you lame! Put that in a song.” Justine Skye said via tumblr.
Additionally, ‘Innocent’, features musical icon Justin Timberlake over an Aaliyah sample. So, how does the singer feel to be alongside giants of the music business?
“I’m honored to be working with these legends. Aaliyah has always been an inspiration since I was a little girl, so the fact that all of these elements came together in one song for me is INSANE.” (@JustineSkye on Twitter)
The self-proclaimed Brooklyn Princess continues to grow after joining and leaving multiple labels to become her own independent artist. Justine Skye said it best: if you were sleeping on her, good morning!
Brooklyn-bred songstress Justine Skye released a new EP, 8 Ounces, on Dec. 23. Written and produced by The Dream, the project is the first since Justine announced that she joined Roc Nation in March 2016.“The Dream was like my diary,” Justine told Genius regarding the collaboration.“I would sit there and talk his ear off about all my guy situations; he would just turn my stories into songs.”
Tricky Stewart provided additional production on the EP that is named for the “average weight of the female heart,” and Wale is the sole feature (appearing on the smooth single, “Fun”). Justine also worked with Genius to provide accurate lyrics and annotations for those interested. Stream or download 8 Ounces today via TIDAL, iTunes, Spotify, or other digital outlets.
