Sheila Harris Senior Manager, Public Relations ESSENCE 241 37th Street, 4th Floor Brooklyn, N.Y. 11232 W: (929) 298-6403; C: 917-648-7318 sharris@essence.com

*Justine Skye is the ideal beauty muse! In ESSENCE’s latest digital cover story, Riding Skye High, the R&B singer looks stunning in an ethereal fashion spread featuring the season’s metallic trends. The gorgeous songbird also opens up to ESSENCE, talking about her new freedom songs and more:

  • SHEDDING HER PURPLE TRESSES: “A part of it was just that I started to lose confidence in my hair products…I started doing protective styles. I remember the first time I got a weave I was 19…”
  • HER CREATIVE PROCESS: “It’s really about coming up with the creative approach, coming up with the sound and direction I want to go in with the people I choose to work with. You can get caught up in going into the studio with people you don’t know, who don’t know anything about you, and just making songs. I got caught up in that cycle for so long…”
  • HER NEW MUSICAL JOURNEY: “Now I’m on a journey of truly understanding what I want to share with the world and how I want to be seen. Before, I was putting that trust in everyone else, but I feel like with this new music, it’s fully just me.”
  • MOVING TO AN INDEPENDENT LABEL: “Throughout my career a lot of people told me to stay away from the ­Caribbean and Afrobeats style, because it didn’t start getting popular until recently… But now that I’m independent…I’m just trusting my instincts, which I should’ve done before, but, you know, things happen in their own time…”
