20 millions dollars can feed a lot of homeless people. Waste of money seeing how H's album flopped despite it being a good album. 

Lana doesn't have to do anything. Her albums and streaming numbers do so well. Ocean Blvd sold 600,000 vinyl copies first week without promotion or music videos. The power.

Theee Mike Dean of Wildflower Wildfire?! Wow, she missed big time 

 

@rancidgirl That sucks, as I really liked Don't Forget, oh well, onto the next unsuspecting producer

 

Mike Dean. Wow. And she's choosing to shelve that album because she didn't get a 20 million dollar roll out budget like H.

Just saw this after I checked on genius, I see Elbrecht mentioned the most - wonder if he has any thoughts on the lack of final album

Nobody who's worked with Sky ever bother to say anything. They don't even defend her. The situation is weird.

An Underrated thread:

 

 

But back to Sky not giving us the goods (MUSIC)

 

Who has been her primary producer for Masochism? Or has it switched numerous times throughout the sessions?

According to Google, the producers for Masochism are: Ariel Rechtshaid Justin Raisen Jorge Elbrecht Mike Dean Bobby Gillespie.

This thread is so cursed and yet I keep reading it in pure morbid fascination. It's like watching a car crash in which a circus is involved and clowns has died. 

The clown is Sky who shelved her own album.

Nah, Halsey def wrote a lot of IICHLIWP bc there's some painful cringe lyrics there, that's definitely Halsey's touch all over

 

I'm Not a Woman I'm a God? Lilith? Like, okay girl let's go back to 2016

 

No she didn't, Trent wrote those songs but you can believe what you want. Wikipedia use to have the complete song credit listed but somehow it got erased over time. Trent's name use to be listed on every song along with Atticus. Now it just names her. It's like Die For Me. She claims she wrote her part solely when Post, Future, Luis Bell and a few other guys wrote her part, which was inspired by G-Eazy. She lies a lot about her songwriting. Her poetry book is all her which is easy to tell. Sometimes you can be a poet but it doesn't mean you can write lyrics. Not everyone can be Lana.

Well, someone has to SO

 

But Sky basically pretended to have written Everything is Embarrasing. Dev Hynes (who really wrote it) shaded her by playing the demo at a show, basically exposing her lie.

 

In her old videos she definitely played up her song writing until that happened. I guess she learned to not say too much.

 

I only kind of forgive her because she was super young and naive, and it seems she and Dev made up anyway. I dont doubt that songwriters and producers do most of the work for like 90% of our popstars, either.

She co-wrote Everything is Embarrassing and gave Dev half credit too. Was she pulling a Halsey ~I wrote this song by myself~ ? Sure. But it doesn't matter. Dev got his credit and he gets royalties from the song at the end of the day.

Halsey doesn’t deserve a label anyway her music has become pretentious garbage and her vocals not great. She’s not putting out the chart friendly songs anymore.  Sky probably could make better use of 25 million if she doesn’t blow it all on crack. 

I agree except for iichliwp. That album was incredible. Everything else your right on. Sky is a better songwriter on her own but she's problematic when it comes to compromising. Lets see what happens now that Halsey is gone.

i agree!! iichliwp is halsey's best work, it's a shame that judging from her latest single she's going pop again for her new album

iichliwp is Halsey's best album. I give all that credit to Trent Reznor and Atticus Finch who wrote 95% of the lyrics and produced the album. Halsey might be releasing poetry books and likes to fancy herself as a "songwriter" but look into her album writing credits and there's at least 15 people credited for her lyrics and song per song. 

She can't write songs or lyrics on her own. She needs a whole team and Capitol paid for that. So hopefully, if she signs onto another major, they could shell money out to all these producers and songwriters she needs. At least Sky writes her own songs and whenever she shares songwriting credits with someone, it's usually one person, not 15 people. 

Maybe now Capitol can shell out all that money for Sky and give her the "proper roll out" she wants. 

Right now Capitol's biggest artists on roster is Katy Perry. I don't count Sam Smith because he's a sad clown now and he's lost millions of fans with this new act of his . The amount of people that have walked out of his shows recently...

He's going to be the next one to be dropped. I don't feel bad for him. This man is the reason why they removed all the female catogories out of award shows in England. He was whining about why there was a catorgory for females and males and everyone should be fluid like him. Well they kept the male categories but the female ones were removed thanks to Sam. Google it.

not capitol trying to sabotage halsey as well and saying that no one will sign her... like at least we have confirmation that they are petty enough to never release sky. she will probably be signed to capitol until she dies 

Sky needs to rebrand herself and do something else career-wise. I guess it's acting and modeling at this point. I don't know why she hasn't formed a band or use a stage name. 

Capitol are out of their minds. They aren't going to let her go and Sky wants a fancy roll out for her album releases. A mess. 

Halsey's response to being dropped and not renewed by Capitol:

I have to say, Capitol is crazy. I'm wondering if Halsey completed her obligations to her contract. The fact that they didn't renew a hard working artist like Halsey, but refused to drop Sky. It's just crazy. Make it make sense.

Manifesting she'll bring back & The Diamonds and release an album called The Revenge of The Diamonds making a return to serious songwriting and making the gays love her again 

I'm here for all the Capitol records drama even from Halsey fans. 

This article was what brought this reaction from this H fan:

https://hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=335618&title=NEAR-TRUTHS%3A-COMING-TO-TERMS

Much buzz surrounds Capitol’s tough decision not to renew the label’s deal for Halsey, with whom it had significant success in pre-COVID times. Her deal was renegotiated by the short-lived prior Capitol administration when the artist was still hot. Halsey’s 2020 album, Manic, did almost 3m in activity and was the justification for an expensive re-up; 2021 follow-up If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power, by contrast, has done just under 600k. Many gatekeepers considered that album, helmed by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross, a major misstep, an ill-fated attempt to be cool that alienated fans. A $25m+ unrecouped position, according to the scuttlebutt, was the straw that broke the camel’s back with respect to an artist who hasn’t streamed strongly for the past few years. Halsey’s UMPG deal was also discontinued. When the artist and label are no longer on the same page and collaboration is at a dead end, those unrecouped monies leave a decidedly bitter taste—and render labels inclined to write the whole thing off and move on rather than throw more money at the problem. These are simply more unintended consequences of the new ecosystem, combined with the rise of social media as a means to publicly air one’s dirty laundry. “It’s been an incredible eight years,” read a statement from Halsey issued when the news of her exit broke. “We wish everyone the best.”

It seems that it was Capitol records who decided to not renew Halsey's contract. They lost 25 millions dollars on If I Can't Have Love I Want Power album.  

No wonder Sky is pissed and doesn't want to release her album. She wants a 25 million dollar budget too.

Joan looks gorgeous. Looks younger and fit then most 30-40 year olds. That's vegatarianism.

Joan looks stunning. Beautiful photos. 

It's going to be 90% BTD and 10% of the other albums.

You have to play upbeat music at these festivals. Her last 4 albums have been piano riddled music for the most part. 

Hopefully fans don't have this expectation that she's going to play anything from Ocean Blvd.

She is dumb for thinking that after 10+ years she can depend on the label's money. 

 

I pity her but I pity the FreeSkyFerreira stans even more. 

If the era isn't being rolled out the way she wants it, she prefers keeping the music shelved. She confirmed that herself in that comment a few days ago. How crazy is that? I don't know how Free Sky can continue to support her when Sky is the reason why the album is shelved. There's no Sky to free up but Sky herself.

I have a feeling Capitol was ready to drop it but after Sky blocked the release, that’s when they shelved it and gave the video idea away.

Seems like the sort of petty relationship they have with each other.

Like someone said before she just needed to play the long game for a bit but sigh 

 

Anyways #PleaseLeakAllMyLoversDie

Exactly. That's how Katy and Halsey has played it and look at all the music they released. Sky refused to cooperate with an entity that not only has the money but pretty much owns her music. 

Sky really believes she's Madonna Vol 2 making  demands with a "proper roll out" crap.

Can we stop bumping when there’s nothing to discuss 💀 like give it a week 

Same old lies same old fans clinging on to minuscules of hope 

Except for Without Me - an artist who songs don't sell? Doesn't peak on top 50? 

The latest:

Basically, she's had the green light to release Masochism for years but she refused to because Capitol didn't want to do a big roll out for it. 

At least we have confirmation about that theory now. 

No idea the ID of her dress yet? It's pretty. LDR Closets on IG hasn't found it yet.

And Sky is still suffering....

so it's possible to leave capitol records? anyone have any info on what's different between halsey and sky's contracts?

She completed her contract. Very simple. 

The contracts are the same. The difference is Halsey does the work and compromises and Sky doesn't.  

Now the Free Sky people can't use the excuse that Sky was threatening to Halsey's career. Let's start blaming Sam Smith. lol

I'm confused about the stuff she liked on Twitter. I don't see the N word anywhere or what makes it racist. I'm on a lot of Gabapentin for my sciatic pain, so perhaps that's why I don't see it. 

It's daytime too. 

When Marina did Coachella it was daylight and the crowd was just as dead.
