Yeah guys I don’t think hounding Capitol’s social media will do anything other than give the interns running them a headache nnn this is Sky’s battle to fight. She’s messy and unreliable as we know but I understand her on this one. If Descending’s already been finished and submitted, I don’t see why she wouldn’t want to release what is potentially the best song thus far? She seems desperate so she really should pull a RAYE at this rate, the worst that could happen has already happened so

I mean I am agreeing with you like I too am very skeptical about there being some big bad behind the scenes seeing anything related to Sky and going mwahahahaha how can I make her life harder. Them forgetting about her after shelving Crybaby/letting her go off and make NTMT on her own suggests they just don’t think about her which I buy more than her being specifically targeted.

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?

She’s not the innocent kind

She seems to have struck creative gold this year and last year but yeah I won’t hold my breath for a release anytime soon. The earliest we’ll see a single for this is probably like end of Q1 2023, if that. I also really hope she’s kept Child King, it’s top tier Ryn for me.

Agreed 100%, I know she’d always intended for Don’t Forget to be a single but Descending would’ve been an even bigger moment for her/would’ve had more staying power imo.

I think that’s just always been her go to style right? The jacket/coat over nightgown combo is I guess what she feels most comfortable in, I wouldn’t read too much into it. The heat must be unbearable though, I personally wouldn’t but to each their own.

I think Cyndi Lauper was 30 when “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” was released so it’s not a big deal for me personally but I do agree that some songs on NTMT are so juvenile (as much as I like them). This is why I’d been excited for her to follow it up with something that showed evolution both sonically and personally, more age-appropriate for her to sing.

Talking in riddles gets her nowhere especially after 10 years of label drama, there’s nothing left to lose if she rips the band aid right off and starts giving explicit details tbh.

Respectfully, she doesn’t strike me as someone who’s exhausted every possible resource she could to improve her situation. I’m not calling her lazy because we know she’s sitting on (maybe too much) music but it is true she could be more reactive. Some users go overboard on here but part of the tough love and frustration is because people know she could be great if she got out of her head and just went for it. Leaking her material wouldn’t turn any profit for her whatsoever but does it say on the contract she can’t set up a Patreon or Bandcamp? People would genuinely support these if there were consistent material/transparency. Air out who exactly is blocking your releases, when and what they promised you only to take it away, etc. Or get a music lawyer to mediate and strike up a deal where both you and Capitol can benefit if you fear legal retribution. Easier said than done but it does no one any good (especially herself) if she just leans into helplessness because that means whoever is allegedly holding her down has won. It’s unfortunate she’s so insecure and understandable if her heart isn‘t in it anymore because of the well-documented interference but if she’s 100% honest, people will be sympathetic.

Ik there was a joke that she should have her “Look What You Made Me Do” moment but it wouldn’t be a bad idea if she made a song out of her label drama/creative plateau (instead of parroting the same talking points for interviews ddd). I guess Don’t Forget was kind of that but it seems more addressed to an ex if anything? Sky’s probably too self-conscious and resentful to harken back to her electropop princess days (justice for 99 Tears!) but I’d like to see if she’s capable of a high-octane banger like this

Rih’s ballads usually don’t miss for me but this one feels… unremarkable. There are some great soundtrack songs that are still able to stand on their own and this is just tepid Perched for the other song though

It’s really sad she’s had to take all these extra measures to protect herself and her intellectual property people are miserable but I’m glad to see she won’t let her light go out despite her hard work being lost like that

Exactly, like she definitely is a flawed artist but once fans start calling her a “dumb ungrateful crackhead bitch” who should be silenced by a cohort of (male) executives they’re not any different than the QAnon freaks who just see her as some hot piece of ass. Y’all can vent your frustrations about her without being weird, gross, and entitled.

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

Am I Still Your Baby is one of a select few songs that were so immediate for me… in the sense that you can tell you’re gonna make a lot of good memories to it for a long time and you’re grateful you have it now even though you could’ve used it way earlier I hope we get to hear Cherry Heart one day, would’ve been cute if it were a hidden track in the vinyl or something

Just pressed play on Zella Day’s sophomore record… this is genuinely a little surreal to me

the full circle moment that is Ancestress-Her Mother’s House “you see with your own eyes // but hear with your mother's” must be my favorite lyric, just gorgeous stuff

Possibly another single release before 2022 is up then? It initially reads as if her plans were ruined but I actually think she is teasing something, if the plan in question was delayed she probably would’ve used the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

She could at least drop Descending before the year ends to tide us over! We know it’s ready so she might as well

It’ll probably be the same old interview but my God she looks incredible on the ES magazine cover…

I know we all like to take the piss and hound her for music she’s promised and delayed continuously but it’s so discouraging to see how defeated/reserved she is nowadays. She’s admitted to playing her own part in her career’s decline but so much of her potential was also crushed by the machine, I can’t imagine what album we’d be on by now if she was in a more respectful deal that inspired in her even a little bit of confidence on the material she makes. I guess she just says the same things in interviews hoping to gain back the little agency she’s been denied? Idk I hope people in here are at least a little more empathetic before downplaying her involvement in her own music or making fun of an addiction she’s already denied, she seems to need all the good will she can get at this stage. It’ll take a miracle to get this album out

Her latest interviews are so repetitive re: label strife but there’s also this undercurrent of like… pure sadness. It seems like she’s just now kind of realizing what big great things she can do, I feel bad she seems so unsure of herself. That part about being made to feel “demanding for wanting to have a room to change in on shoots, rather than change in front of like 30 fucking guys” is especially telling of the subtle degradation that not just her but many female artists are still subject to.
