Here’s What Justine Skye Learned When A Boy Broke Her Heart
The rising singer shares the hard-earned love lessons that inspired her new EP, Emotionally Unavailable.
Since the arrival of her early demos and mixtapes, Justine Skye has come of age in the spotlight. Navigating internet fame, launching a musical career, and finding time to date boys can be tricky, and the 19-year-old singer is still learning to conquer those three worlds simultaneously. On her just-dropped EP, Emotionally Unavailable, Skye documents the rise and fall of young love with diary-entry accuracy, turning gushy feelings and sticky truths into brutally honest R&B songs. "When the first EP dropped, I was in a relationship,” Skye told The FADER. “I was like, Nothing can go wrong, I'm so happy! And then I broke up with that person. Now I'm figuring myself out, getting what it's like to be on my own." Emerging stronger for the wear and tear, Skye’s writing and vocal skills reflect the specific, hard-earned wisdom that comes after a freshly broken heart. The FADER asked the new, smarter Skye to share some of the lessons in love and lust that fueled Emotionally Unavailable.
