After Skylar Grey's surprise appearance at the 2014 MTV EMA with host Nicki Minaj to perform the latter’s new single, “Bed Of Lies,” she reveals that she wants to collaborate with another significant member of the Young Money family.

“It’d be kind of interesting to try something with Lil Wayne,” Grey told Billboard when asked about bringing out other artists' emotional sides. “I don’t know if he would ever go there, but it’d be interesting to see what would happen. If he did something that was personal 'cause I haven’t really heard him do that.”

The “Coming Home” chanteuse revealed that she learned a lot from Minaj’s personal take on a bitter relationship in her verses -- not to mention from her “Love The Way You Lie” collaborator, Eminem.

“I was very excited when I heard what she did with it,” Grey added. “She seemed to take it to a very personal place and I love that. I love doing that with my songs and my collaborations, bringing out something that’s a little more emotional and personal with the artist.

"I’m starting to realize my favorite me is the real me, so here I am. I’m discovering I like me in my rawest form better than me with tons of over-produced music or tons of makeup on. I just think if she’s able to accept herself and Em is able to accept himself then why shouldn’t I be able to accept myself too?”

The Mazomanie, Wisconsin native plans to apply that new wisdom to her next project.

“I feel like I have 80 or 90 percent done with all the writing,” Grey said. “So hopefully that means I’ll be able to announce a release date soon. I’m definitely taking some risks on the album and I’m doing some kind of avant-garde songs…it’s definitely more mature than the last album. It’s more adult and a little bit darker. I’m not doing any collaborations, I just want to keep it me.”
