It looks like they’re sending out emails to people who ordered the vinyls from her store to let them know there may be an error. I just received my vinyls the other day, so I need to give them a listen and see if mine are misprints as well. Here’s the email they sent:
 
“Hello, and thank you for your support of Zella Day.
If you are receiving this email, you ordered one or more copies of Sunday In Heaven on vinyl. Unfortunately, we’ve been made aware that some albums are missing a couple of tracks. Specifically “Radio Silence” and “Sunday In Heaven.” 
If you’ve already received your vinyl, please listen and check that the actual tracks match the track listing on the cover. 
If you haven’t received your vinyl or a shipping notification, we are holding your order until we can inspect and make sure all forthcoming albums are correct. 
Once we know for sure if the misprint affects all vinyl or just certain quantities/colors we will follow up with an update.
Apologies for the inconvenience. 
Back soon with a remedy. 
Thank you!”
 
Also, just want to note that this vinyl mishap has me listening to this record more frequently again, and it’s truly soooo good. Zella is a genius. I really hope she embarks on a tour, as the last and only time I saw her live was at a festival in 2016. I got to meet her afterwards at the signing tent and she was truly one of the nicest artists I ever met. She reached out and gave me a huge hug, and she’s even more gorgeous in person too. Miss her x

I actually enjoy H&H but D&D was definitely an improvement. I'm really enjoying it, it's so fun and it's just bop after bop  

I just now received my order. I added some photos for anyone who’s still waiting on theirs to arrive. Listening to the vinyl right now… hopefully there’s nothing wrong with it She also mentioned Lana in the “thank you” section of the credits which was cute
 

Woah now that you mention it, Radio Silence wasn’t on there!! I didn’t even notice until your comment. Side B started with Girls. That’s not what the track listing says on the back of the record either, it should start with Radio Silence. I guess they did give me the 10 track one… wish I could get my money back. 
 
I posted a comment on Instagram about it and she replied saying she will report it immediately and that it must be a misprint.

Well, apparently she hasn't forgotten about the album! Today she posted she will listen to the mixes for the album so I sense the beginning of the era not too far from here. Will post any updates for anyone who cares. Hopefully an announcement is on the horizon  

a gay can dream 

If the album is not clicking for you, I'm really sorry  

Album is spectacular— I'm glad everyone gets to finally hear this in its HQ glory!

The album is a 40-minute bop omg  hq is absolutely GLORIOUS  

The way they sound nothing alike? 💀⚰️

Another bop!
This is getting a little out of hand with how many singles she's been releasing from the album, but the last one was the same. Whew, the full album is finally coming this Friday!
imo the singles rollout should've been:
Million Dollar Baby Maybe You're the Problem Weapons Turn Off the Lights Dancing's Done at this point basically half the songs are out before the whole album  

right??? now i kinda don't listen to her music because of her attitude. idk it just irks me.
lol i found rich boi has like three samples or something so i guess only the lyrics are 'original'. but it's a good track nonetheless. wish it leaked in HQ along the rest of those sessions so i can finally have that damn album in HQ.

It’s a shame what happened to her, another great example of how record companies fuck up the most out of the box artist… she had so much potencial And no other was doing It like her… if only she sticked to that gypsy style that was so unique to her. Just like Porcelain Black, Natalia Kills, Kerli, Sky Ferrera, Bonnie McKee and many others who didnt have the chance to release proper material And then proceed to live in the shadow of what they could have been… lets hope she goes back in track, that last EP (Light Touch) was great!! 

the bops this girl has under her belt right now, she needs to release ALL OF THEM 

The hit that I Surrender and/or U Had It Coming would be if released

how did I miss this!
"In 2021, the queen of TikTok put out the fabulously camp “Obsessed” to mixed reviews. Was it shallow trash, or tongue-in-cheek art? Only the follow-up would truly tell. In 2022, a leaked snippet from an upcoming track “2 Die 4” went viral due to a misheard lyric thought to be praising her “pum pum”. (She actually says “boom boom bass”, disappointingly.) All that aside, the clip from the glittering hyper pop track really is to die for, and her debut EP is set for release this year. Following!"

Her situation is pretty complicated and we still have no idea what's happening. What is pretty red flag-ish on Sky's part is that she won't become an indie artist. Tinashe left the label and is successfully released better music with quality music videos. I feel like Sky's clinging onto something rather than being trapped. I feel like she relys way too much on traditional way of promoting and releasing music rather than taking matters into her own hands. Maybe she's way too insecure to release music by herself. Maybe she needs to re-record all of the songs. We have no idea. There are plenty of DIY artists, she can always record music videos on her phone. Video Games is a DIY music video after all. I feel like Sky expects some Miley Cyrus Plastic Hearts level of production and promotion and the label says no cause she owes money and doesn't being enough profit. 

lol, wrote an essay expanding on some of my points from yesterday. i feel like i have to put this disclaimer before every criticism i make of sky because again, i’m not trying to attack her or be hateful, i just think there’s a lot she can do and is choosing not to. wanted to go into detail about some options available to her that capitol at least has no reason to block, and that they have been proven not to be blocking in the past.
 
as i mentioned previously, yes it sucks that sky is on a major label and they don’t promote her—but thinking of it from a business and industry perspective—why should they? why should they dish out that money for an artist of sky’s size who hasn’t released an album in a decade, even if it is, arguably, ultimately capitol’s own fault? just as new artists have to prove themselves independently to get signed to labels, at this point in sky’s career, she is going to need to prove herself again in order to show the label that she is worth investing more time and cash in. it’s unfortunate, but the music industry has always been fucked up, it’s always been sacrificial.
 
sky complaining about having to make promotional banners for herself, having to promote her own music all by herself, etc, just rubs me the wrong way because millions of independent artists do the same thing, with 10x less resources and connections, and they can still get music videos to come out. yes it’s hard work, yes that stuff shouldn’t be on sky’s own table while being signed to a major, but if you want the music to come out, you put in that work despite the unfortunate circumstances. there’s more she can do.
 
capitol wasn’t blocking the Downhill Lullaby or Don’t Forget music videos from being released. the Don’t Forget music video was filmed, it was edited—and then she fired the editor. and now she is being cryptic about it in her comments. that’s one, or two, things she could’ve done.
 
touring is very expensive, and especially if sky has been funding the album sessions herself and traveling around the world to play those festivals, it’s completely understandable for a headline tour to not be possible if she’s funding that all by herself too. but what is feasible for her is booking just a few headline shows, say LA, New York, and Chicago. that’s another promotional thing she can do, but is choosing not to. 
 
5 (FIVE!!) years ago, sky got her soundcloud account back. she proved that she can upload what she pleases to it when she posted Voices Carry. why hasn’t it been used since then? if she wants to release music, that sounds like a perfect opportunity to release some Masochism demos, or if she doesn’t want to share music that’s on the album, she can post some already scrapped tracks like Legends, The Woods, or I Pray for Rain, herself, instead of those songs leaking out of nowhere. this is another promotional thing she can do, but is choosing not to. 
 
remember that podcast she talked about a long time ago? that barely even has anything to do with music, there’s no way the label would have any say in a podcast. she has industry friends, i’m sure both fans of her and fans of other artists would love it if she started a podcast. she could bring on some of her musician contemporaries and friends like Charli XCX, Ethel Cain, Caroline Polachek, etc, and talk about their creative processes with each other. this is another extremely beneficial promotional thing she can do, but is choosing not to. 
 
as a fan, it’s really bothered me how every single interview or profile published in recent years has only been about her label issues. one or two interviews giving us some insight on it would’ve been great and would’ve been enough. i want to hear about how the singles she’s released came to be, again what the creative process was like, the role of the songs in the album, how the songs tie into the Masochism multiverse. she can promote the music by actually talking about the music in the press. this is another promotional thing she can do, but is choosing not to. 
 
and after all these years, it was an absolute shock to me to learn that the album still isn’t fully written. there’s no reason for it not to be completely done, let alone not completely written, after 8 years of it apparently being finished enough and ready for release for capitol to block it.
 
like i talked about yesterday, i’ve reached this point where i just don’t care anymore. i can’t be angry at her anymore, i can’t be excited anymore, it is what it is. but this whole situation is just fascinating to me, it’s very interesting to look at and study critically from the outside. the music industry is full of sacrifices; sky’s circumstances are unfortunate, but there are a lot more options available to her than she is making it seem. even if she did all of the stuff i listed on this post and capitol still blocked her, surely there would be a lot more people behind the Free Sky Ferreira movement, and it would make a lot more noise, likely enough for the label to have to do something. 

Unconfirmed lineup but who knows. She’s listed for Saturday.

i feel like i still stan sky because she reminds me of myself. she’s an indecisive overthinking procrastinator who needs everything to go her way and be 100% perfect  like i can’t blame her because i'm the exact same way

Maybe because.... it is? hence being a leak? 

I have to laugh because this is the worst version of this song omg you can't even hear anything because she decided to do the grungier synth... there was a gorgeous version with beautiful guitar you could hear

(mine is more of just a compilation but its like how i could see it go if they were an album)
1. Downhill Lullaby
2. All My Lovers Die (Live)
3. Don't Forget
4. Guardian
5. Innocent Kind (Live)
6. Pray For Rain
7. Descending
8. Finders Keepers
9. The Woods
10. Voices Carry
(Bonus: 11. Always Ready To Lose You)

Descending is cute. It's giving me 2000s angsty pop girl ala Avril/Skye Sweetnam. Speaking of Miss Sweetnam, after she left her major label d/t floppage she started a heavy metal band. Wouldn't be surprised if Sky went that route eventually honestly.
