Template:Album ratings
Skin is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge, released by Island Records on July 10, 2001. The album explores the pain, confusion, grief, and recovery Etheridge went through following her split from Julie Cypher, her companion of 12 years. "Heal Me" features background vocals by Laura Dern and Meg Ryan. Etheridge plays almost all the instruments and penned all the songs.
Skin peaked at No. 9 on the Billboard 200, and the lead single "I Want to Be in Love" earned Etheridge a nomination for the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance.<ref name="Gram">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
