this is the only thread that trends as 'hot' and when you go in, there's nothing actually happening lol

Cool little momento someone sent me - on this day, she stopped into Sweny’s Pharmacy and left a note in their guestbook that reads “They said to say yes - But I did - and I don’t like how it turned out. Best of luck to those who live in the moment. Love, Elizabeth Woolridge Grant”

Perhaps reading too much into it, but I wonder if she adopted a personal philosophy to always say “yes” to see what would happen in life even if she felt that she she would have rather said no. I took notice that when she met fans after her show in Wichita 2019, she literally said the word “yes” to everyone. When fans would ask “can we take a selfie” or “can you sign my vinyl” or “can I take a polaroid of you” etc, she always would respond with a smile and a simple “yes” I remember noticing that then and thinking it was interesting how that’s how she would respond. It was very sweet. However, maybe in other things in life, she’s also always responded with “yes” even when she didn’t want to. Perhaps that reason also ties into why she decided to sign her message with her given name rather than LDR. The message also reminds me a bit of her poem LA Who Am I to Love You - “I left my city for San Francisco and I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge, but it's not going as I planned. I took a free ride off a billionaire and brought my typewriter and promised myself that I would stay, but it’s just not going the way that I thought“ Either way, I would love another poetry book. I always love reading her thoughts about life, whether about her own or about life at large x

i am cackling i think it's safe to assume any rights she has to anything she has ever recorded or produced are forfeit. i'm guessing she managed to actually negotiate her way out of her contract? capitol probably just decided it wasn't worth the hassle anymore. the timing of this coming immediately after her ntmt 10 year anniversary silence and ig stories about the industry's incoming crackdown on re-recordings is very interesting to me, this has probably been in the works for a while. maybe the recent shows have been to cover legal fees leak pretty dull to celebrate!

This is absolutely not how it works. She would have to negotiate the rights specifically when attempting to be released from her contract. Labels retain rights to all music produced under their auspices as a part of almost all recording contracts. There's a significant chance she is leaving with almost none of the music produced in the last ten years.

OMGGGG YESSSSS WE’RE NEVER GOING TO HEAR FROM HER EVER AGAIN NOWWW

the voices are telling me that it's coming next week

Honestly I feel like it's very bad for her and for us. We won't hear about her and the tracks she worked on will forever be vaulted. She's 100% too lazy to try and book shows or interviews herself. I don't know if Capitol was still doing basic advertizing for her, but I imagine they did because she doesn't seem like the type to care about that. Like, if she was still late to sing even though it's her passion, I don't see her picking up her phone ever again to attend another MET gala. I can't imagine another major label signing her after her Capitol days. Even if she's in the right, Capitol will probably end her reputation among their peers. Indie labels have little to no money and we know she wants better budgets. So...? I hope I'm wrong but I'm pretty pessimistic about her situation and Masochism existence for now.

So now if all the music she recorded since NTMT can't be released officially and they're vaulted via Capitol, This means that she has to record new material & release them independently (or) via a new label? Which would take another 3+ years. Yeah it's over She's not doing that. rihtired.

she’s not listed as an artist on capitol’s website anymore… Night Time, My Time (Sky’s Version) is alive and breathing

A little more context as to why she may have chosen to write that - while at Sweny’s, she viewed a James Joyce reading of Ulysses. The last line of the book features a repetition of the word “yes” and perhaps the constant saying of “yes” resonated with her, inspiring her message x

2024's going to come in like a lion and go out like a lamb

Just leak the fkng music already like it’s beyond over. If she was dropped she will fight for “her” music and “hard work” for the next 10 years and try fundraising the money for her masters. It’s OVER OVER.

she hasn’t done that since Red TV and I wanna know WHY. Why was Red TV the only album to get a true “audiophile” pressing, to the extent that it plays at 45rpm?!?

“They said to say yes- but I did- and I don’t like how it turned out” girl wtf does this mean no unreleased album?

The Grants, Tunnel, Sweet, Candy Necklace, Kintsugi and Fingertips all still give me goosebumps every time I listen it's CRAZYYY how she did that

Y’all need to give it up y’all ain’t EVER getting anything from her except maybe some gay will leak pretty dull eventually. That’s it. Move on w ur lives

we were so back but now we are so over again

Her website is still online when you visit it over http, http://www.skyferreira.com – only the SSL certificate is incorrectly setup.

https://www.skyferreira.com/ her webpage is down too

they better lock those mp3s up

Pretty dull and I will log out 5 ever.

I forgot how godly Cake is...

her signing her full name got me in my feels for some reason

Please can Lana put the piano down for ldr10 sry but I miss uv-nfr sound

After how many months after the music’s still so fresh to me

I found out that Cigarettes After Sex band commented "🖤" under her latest Instagram post! I need a collab!

but if she was invited for the 2023 alabama rodeo fair with its renowned hot dog eating contest she'd be there by tomorrow

This is so safe for what I was expecting. Literally could go smack in the middle of FN which isn’t bad per se but like… I was expecting more idk Chorus is also just such a non-event

Huuun, ok. I stand corrected! I have no idea how labels really work, so thanks for the info. I would've argued that she probably let that to management then, but I'm not sure I understand: if she complained she had to do stuff her label was supposed to do, but said stuff isn't the label's but management's... Does it mean she doesn't have a (real) manager? Or does she have as much clue as me about what labels are supposed to do? We'll never know the truth behind Sky and Capitol's beef, but just from that, it seems there's a misunderstanding or a lack of knowledge on Sky's part? If labels don't do that shit and she doesn't have management, it's normal they are asking HER to do that, right? So she can't really accuse her labels of not doing... what they're not supposed to do? Not saying she's a liar but I'd find that wild she knows as much as me considering she's been in the business for years. I do remember she said that (having to do stuff she didn't think was her job) but frankly, I'm past believing her. Sky's never been the most reliable source. Also, I'm not forgetting (ironically) that Don't Forget video she shelved herself. Girlie thinks promo isn't her job but she fires the editor to do his work? Just to never release that shit? I get not liking the editor's vision but... just do the fucking work you gave to yourself then?? This is part of the many inconsistencies that makes me believe in the perfectionnist-excuse-actual-lazy-ass explanation. I'd love to believe her but she's the reason I have trust issues. Sorry for the long rant but I'm genuinely so confused about all of that. And tired. I only want Pretty Dull to finally move on from her and that hell of a thread.

when it turns out to be just a website bug oh yall would be so over

I CRYINGGRD

I think that's more of a problem with Taylor, Jack is very much a yes man. I don't think it'll happen soon, but I do want new people on board for both Taylor and Lana

i screamed when i read "this winter." PATHOLOGICAL! P-A-T-H-O-L-O-G-I-C-A-L!

ahh there's allah up there....
