    i’ve said this before but honestly after hearing DF i realized that it shouldn’t have been a single, or at least it should’ve been released a lot closer to the album. when it was released it felt kind of bland and one-note to me and i realized that’s because the song really doesn’t build at all, the energy stays the same through the whole song, which is kind of weird when you’re only listening to that song and nothing else. in the context of the album, it would fit really well after a track that does build quite a bit (like Descending) and keep the energy that was built going, similar how to Free (another song that pretty much stays the same throughout) acts after King in the context of Florence’s new album. Masochism does not seem like an album that should be mostly experienced piece-by-piece before its release and still be understood, which is why it sucks that if it ever does see the light of day, we will probably have heard at least half of it through singles by the time it’s released.

    It's blatant sabotage at this point (from the label & self-sabotage from Sky):Woods/Lovers Die/Descending would've all been better "lead" single options (Sky herself claims she wanted Descending for the single) Downhill is just a joke to me at this point, she should've went with Guardian liked her original plan (regardless of the leak) & things would look a lot different right now... I get that DL basically picked up where NTMT left off, but if they were going to release it they should've done the "final mix" accompanied with an actual visual if they truly wanted to get the era started. Capitol is complete trash, but the fact that we haven't gotten the video for Don't Forget 6 months after release KNOWING it's in her hands has me feeling very slighted. I've loved this girl since 2011 & it's becoming very apparent she just wasn't meant to be a recording artist. She got signed mad young & faced alot of bullshit behind the scenes (I DO feel bad for her), but it's her career & she really needs to "rise up" or just "retire".

    truth is, she just lost a lot of her fanbase that was holding out hope for her, and Unholy is going to be the only thing that she’s remembered for. She could’ve been one of the biggest pop stars of our time, I could see her potential success playing out similar to Dua Lipa’s. but honestly, her solo music is too niche to ever go mainstream without huge fan support pushing her name into that scene, and a lot of the fans that could’ve been able to do that aren’t going to be sticking around. and normally, going mainstream really wouldn’t matter at all, but it’s clear that’s the kind of status she wants. she did it all to herself

    You really think "Unholy" will be remembered more than 8 months from now?

    I feel like if sky did this the album would’ve been out by now. But I don’t think the albums ever been at a point where she felt  she could turn it in as it is and go forward with it

    You have absolutely no clue about how the music industry works

    okay i really do love SIH, but there’s one little thing that’s been bothering me about the album that i haven’t been able to put my finger on… and i think i realized that it is just wayyyy too compressed for me and i think it kind of takes some emotion out of the songs. i think that’s also why i prefer the IDKHTE demo.

     

    i didn’t even realize that was the issue until i brought the files into logic because some songs have a “fade out” that only fades like halfway and doesn’t even transition into the next song which sort of bothers me a lot so i was just gonna fix that :rip: and then i realized that most of the songs are literally the exact same volume all the way through, like no dynamics at all, not even just a decibel or two. i think these songs are going to be so much more emotional when they’re played live

    100%. The demos are alot more raw & have clearer vocals/more life in them, Almost Good, Mushroom Punch, Sunday in Heaven, Am I Still Your Baby, & Last Time are especially better & clear. It’s probably a stylistic choice, (it works well for effect on Girls in particular) but I definitely get what you’re saying. I’m excited to hear how the vinyl sounds, maybe it’ll sound better! You can tell in the album versions she’s going for a more “mature” sound, but I love when she lets her upper register shine. It would be cool if she worked with Dan Auerbach again for the next project, he did amazing on the EP. The guy who did Man on the Moon is great too, I think he did some of the demos for a few tracks that didn’t make the album. Hopefully we get a deluxe or another EP within the year. April would be perfect time for an EP she could release on vinyl via Record Store Day again.

    so she got a lawyer or? so she's admitting that she can leave the label and isn't :toofunny: and why is she so afraid to leave Capitol? the reason of losing her music.....girl leave and make new music we don't care.

    Ciara walked away with her masters, because her label didn’t believe in her. She was also never outspoken & unproblematic, the reason why it’s nearly impossible for Sky to have the same outcome is due to her being so outspoken & squandering so much money on re-tracking for so damn long yet failing to produce the material. Don’t really get why she wants Descending out now when the album isn’t submitted, she may also be waiting to submit it due to trust issues until Descending drops, no one really knows. She was working in the studio at Capitol several times the first half of the year

    Also, it’s disgusting seeing people talk shit about her vocals. She had a blow out right when NTMT dropped & her voice has never been the same since. Once you have an injury like that you’re literally traumatized & even if you’re fully healed your brain tricks you into thinking you’re gonna hurt yourself again or you can’t & that’s more than likely contributed to her being so anal because perfecting everything & possibly recording alot of takes to the point where it’s excessive.

    at this point…

    all i have to say is why hasn’t Capitol dropped her yet?

    Labels don't usually let their artists go until they make sure they ruin any other opportunities to lose money, especially if they don't like them. I feel like what's happening is either A. The executive hates her & wants to steal her youth & career B. They won't release another single until they have the completed record in their hands  C. The recent posts were to rile up a fan demand situation for hype a'la the photosynthesis person Halsey. but they were too stupid to realize they've officially killed most of the hype for record. I don't see her being dropped ever, that contract was 100% signed in blood & they won't let that poor girl go or even release music, because she's constantly been defiant & the opposite of the puppet these control freaks have forced so many others to be. The fact that NTMT was ever even released is a miracle honestly.

    there's a dolby atmos app? is it free? i had already kinda figured that maybe listening to it through youtube wouldn't be the same, since, well, it's a stereo youtube upload lol

    Nooo I meant the dolby atmos function in Apple Music! It sounds completely different. The user who compiled the dolby channels didn’t mix them properly they just stacked the extracted channels on top of each other when they’re playing from different areas of the soundscape in Apple Music

    Reminiscing about the times I leaked the Slave 4 U, Scary, & How I Roll stems in lossless back in 2011/2012. So crazy most of what I see accessible online these days are downscaled mp3s! Anyways, you’re welcome:kiss3:

    it's on youtube if anybody here doesn't have apple music, i'm currently listening on my phone bc my laptop headphones are cheap

     

     

    it's interesting how you hear mostly keri's vocals in the chorus of gimme more lol

    It’s because the people who bounced the channels had no clue what they were doing! In the actual Dolby Atmos app Britney is the loudest

    Her stories suggest they kinda just ghost her instead of giving her a release date even though we know it’s been submitted so I guess that answers how they “block” the release? She complained about the same thing around this time last year about getting no date for Don’t Forget. Her vagueness over the years implied hostility/sensationalized the issue but now that we know it’s indifference from their behalf this isn’t hard to believe tbh? 

    It’s a sad, but common trend for labels to shelve artists/make them do ridiculous things to finally get greenlit for release. I’m sure they hate her for being so outspoken, flaky, & anal. Record execs are crazy manipulative & abusive

    She’s said mutiple times the album is finished and now she’s stated it’s not even written fully a month ago-which one is it? 
     

    why would a label see an artist that has no hits or even a song over a million streams as a threat to major recording artists-she makes them a nice bit of revenue and is cheap to record so why block her album?

    Im sorry I just don’t understand-who’s blocking what, more vagueness from her again. They didn’t push don’t forget as the lead for a hit surely because we all know she isn’t going to be massive at this point.

    The only other song submitted to Capitol as of August was “Descending”, she’s had enough time to turn in the actual album…my friend said he would let me know if he heard anything new regarding her & hasn’t told me anything since. She was recording at Capitol all throughout this year though, Pray For Rain was reworked

    Same. The more I listen to it the more I like it and some of the songs I wasn’t too crazy about I am liking more. However I just have not ever been crazy about golden. Does anyone that has the demo- is the one for Golden much different?? That one hasn’t grown on me at all. I don’t like the interlude things after almost good and before last time. IDKHTE I like, I like both the demo and the album version for different reasons. Bunny is okay, I guess I expected something different. I think Radio Silence doesn’t super fit in either. Man I still really want ChinaTown, Moonslot Junkie and Cherry Heart. ZELLA. PLEASE. 
     

    I really like the energy of the album over all. I love that she really belts it out in some, but the end of last time and Am I Still Your Baby I love how it is more dreamy sounding. I love that aspect of the album.

    We need an EP with Moonslot Junkie, Gypsy Girl & Cherry Heart + 2 or 3 others, I love Chinatown but I can see why it didn’t make the album, it’s gorgeous synth pop but it wouldn’t have fit the tone of the record. I personally feel like Moonslot Junkie should’ve been on the tracklist right after Am I Still Your Baby.

    ZELLA DAY - 10 INFLUENCES BEHIND 'SUNDAY IN HEAVEN'

    1. Bob Fosse
    To prepare and rehearse for the “Golden” music video I worked with a choreographer and former rockette, Katie Rayle. She created a Fosse inspired routine that I danced to the bone in the weeks leading up to the shoot. I didn’t grow up dancing, but the sharp exaggerated theatrics of the Fosse style have always appealed to my instincts. For the first time in my life I was dancing everyday and attending class multiple times a week. Now when I listen to “Golden” all I hear is jazz hands and pigeon toed hip rolls.

     

    2. Roller Skating at the Arclight
    There was a time when you could roller-skate on the top level of the parking structure of the Arclight and not get caught. My sister and I would drive down Sunset Blvd. from our apartment around golden hour to catch the sunset and skate to AM radio on my boom box. It was the best way to take a break, clear my head, and practice my turns.

    3. Guy Bourdin
    Bourdin is a French visual artist who had radical success in the fashion world as well as with the contemporary art scene beginning in the '50s to the end of the '80s. He was obsessed with surrealism and worked under Man Ray for a short time as his protégé. You can see his love for surrealism reflected in his fashion campaigns, I love when strange intersects with commercialism. The hyper realistic coloring in his photographs are so graphic and memorable. He was an important reference for the album campaign I shot with Elizaveta Porodina in Paris last year.

    4. The bluffs in Long Beach, CA
    There’s a man made oil island off shore from Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach decorated with palm trees and a refinery that looks like a miniature casino, the Queen Mary sits quietly in the background barely in view. Hauntingly contrived, old, and made of steel. When my mother remarried she was photographed with her husband with this view behind her. My grandmother and her siblings grew up walking the beach path below the Bluff looking out at the same view.

    5. White Rabbit
    The white rabbit has many meanings and connotations though I’ve seen it as a symbol of self discovery and curiosity. My album Sunday in Heaven is all about following your inner guide and being reborn through the process of self discovery. Down the rabbit hole into the next dimension of reality.

    6. Minnie Riperton’s Come to My Garden
    Released in 1970 Come to My Garden has some of my favorite orchestration and vocals ever recorded. She gives the most brilliant performance on “Les Fleur,” it changed my life. The intro is so captivating, you can’t turn away.. and THEN she starts singing and you belong to her. She had a five octave vocal range that made everything she sang so effortlessly dynamic.

    7. Daniel Johnston home footage
    I played a song for a Daniel Johnston tribute show and after the last performance was given the organization showed never before seen footage of Daniel writing at home on his piano. I was in tears by the end of the segment. He was considered an outsider by industry standards but in watching the clip it's apparent that nobody was more on the inside than Daniel. He had that sacred relationship to music that most people can only dream of.

    8. Quiet time
    There is a corner in my apartment that holds a low wooden sitting chair with a fiddle leaf fig growing out of a pot next to it. I dedicate thirty minutes every morning to drink my coffee, read, and pull a tarot card. I can be a little loose with my time, but my morning ritual has stuck in place. I’ve solved many riddles in that quiet corner.

    9. Tarot
    Allegedly you are not supposed to purchase your own tarot deck. I have had the same deck find me twice. A close friend gift me her Aquarius deck on my 21st birthday, I used it for three years until losing it in a moving truck. I was given another Aquarius deck a year later from my sister who had no idea that it was the same deck I had formerly been practicing with. During the writing process for Sunday in Heaven I used my deck as an intuitive tool. The deck taught me to consider past, present, future as an ecosystem that works in unison.

    10. The Neon Church
    The album was recorded in Nashville in a renovated church. The control board sits in the middle of the room with stained glass windows on either side so that the whole studio glows like a candle. Essentially there is only open space. The only door that closes behind you is the door you enter from the outside. The music always felt like it was growing taller and wider with no restraint. It all felt very synchronistic to show up to the Neon Church every morning for the making of Sunday in Heaven.

    The way some gay men talk about women is genuinely concerning… it’s never that serious 

    Right?? She already shot the video for Don’t Forget & submitted the second single to the label, all the hatred, entitlement, & judgement would definitely make me even more hesitant to release anything. Hopefully the video drops on Halloween, wouldn’t be surprised if she disappears for 2 more years though.
