She's a perfectionist and everything with Capitol feels like... Limbo. I know most of the jokes are "There's no album lol" but I think it's more likely that she does have a thousand demos sitting around and just can't finish\don't feel they're good enough or something alike. Just like the "Alternative Version" of Donwhill Lullaby felt like she was just unhappy with the final released mix and so on. And, from this perspective, I can see the Label going insane with a huge amount of money going on knowing that the profit of the album itself will be minimum. It's an endless cycle. Of course it's just speculation, but it's the picture painted in my mind for some time now. I think she's talented as hell, no doubt, and it must be hard to try to keep your vision and art safe, managing everything and presenting it exactly as you intended, especially with god knows how many executives behind it.

The way I was locked out of my account and finally something leak. Whew. For the guardian talk on the last pages, yeah, it was originally promoted as "the first release from Masochism", then she started rambling about the video with Grant and suddenly everything went silence. Later she mentioned it wasn't going to be part of the album but it's own main thing because it was special. I can't recall all the timeline\years, but there's also the fact she wanted to release... a "Visual EP" or something back in 2018\2019 (? or 17\18?? God it's hard to keep it up with her nn) and I believe Guardian was involved with this project. Also, probably this footage is the one she used to make the (unreleased) Voices Carry video. edit: It was 2017\2018 https://www.nme.com/news/music/sky-ferreiras-new-album-edges-ever-closer-new-photo-2218122 Did she say anything about I Pray for Rain leak?

Lanaboards loaded forever I didn't expect to see the post was actually "sent" nn I believe that, before TFM was really a thing, Interscope already wanted to release The Fame and tack like 3 new songs at the end. I remember her saying something like "but instead, I decided to create a whole new album that will be yours. It's The Fame Monster". I guess New York was one of the songs they wanted to reboot and probably put it out as a single, hence the rumors, but who knows (It sounds like late Fusari\Gaga productions like Paparazzi at least) For the 1000Doves talk, I believe it was actually said that it was reworked from ARTPOP, and some people thought it was one song that she played to Mark Ronson (together with Angel Down) and someone recorded in super LQ and whispering over it, but it doesn't sound like the recording that was captured then.

Ironically there is a The Fame outtake called "New York". Also, rumors dubbed a "Speechless Demo" as "New York", but after the "real" song leaked in 2017\18 then I don't think this was real. New York if anyone curious (yes it's bad) https://clyp.it/yndfpx2n I believe it's been said before that "Angel Down" was an... ARTPOP reject (and not one of these 8 "RedOnes" productions from 2015). It's interesting to look at her discography this way. Really wanted to set a "recording timeline" like the one created for Lana here.

And that's on that periodt hun!

I think it's some type of her own "Taxi". She knows that fans have it and she probably likes the song too (I don't personally like it THAT much, even if the lyrics are gold) but there's no reason to tack it at any project now. Plus, after the whole UNSOLVED, I don't think it's a nice idea to remake something that fans enjoy that much lol.

I really really really wish she expanded the visual world for Super Sunset It was just begging for it. Knowing she actually made something for Science is quite... annoying. Not So Bad in LA is top5 (probably 3) videos and but it felt like the most random choice. Science, Girl of The Year... RIP them.

This thread won

There are some very interesting points! If I remember correctly, she kept touring Cry Baby nonstop so she could be able to "fund" this album and movie. (I mean, not directly from her pocket, but she had to give them enough money to "trust" them). Cry Baby managed to get some crazy records going on (Something like "tied with "lady gaga" - debut record with more certifications" and stuff like that). This time around she's not able to tour THAT much, with many dates canceled due pandemic and also the album didn't have the "longevity" from Cry Baby. She already said she wants album 3 to be another movie, isn't it? For the concept-records, I kinda agree but it's interesting to note that Cry Baby still had stuff like Tag\Cookies double video 1 year after the album release and ironically Melanie just grew (number-wise) during the Cry Baby era, with each video basically outdoing the one before. Even Mad Hatter that had like, almost 1 full year gap, sits at 77m views right now (which is actually huge when you think that she actually didn't really promote the record beyond the endless tour + music videos and it barely had real singles going on). It's different from like Electra Heart that they really just... got lost after Power & Control flopped and didn't bother (I think not even Marina bothered at all tbh rip) to keep it going, which is a shame since Marina kept growing through the cracks even if her numbers weren't impressive "chart-wise". Anyway, just remembered Mrs. Potato Head was supposed to have some other scenes including a Morgue set-up and she cut it to keep the story cute. Leak her too. Wondering why they still haven't re-issued Cry Baby as a CD+DVD package, including the deluxe\extra songs and all music videos + some behind the scenes. Especially now that they randomly got Play Date getting streams.

The fact she also sat on this record for 4 years and then it was, well, "that", doesn't help. I'll give her the kudos that the movie actually looks EXPENSIVE and it is "well made" (even with some amateur flaws, but it was also "her debut" directing something like that so it's totally alright) but the story\script itself is just trash and it felt like "Look at all this money I've got from the label!! I'm gonna BURN IT." The story is bad. I'm still unsure of how\why she decided to go full Matilda-XMen. It would have been better if she dropped the record and then took her time to make the movie, making it also last "longer" as an Era. Cry Baby was fun (at least until like... Pacify Her and then Mad Hatter taking one year was just bad) because of the overflown of content, that also helped building her name out there. Her art direction is, however, really fantastic. Randomly got Strawberry Shortcake stucked in my head this last week. The good songs here are really alright. Strawberry Shortcake, Highschool Sweet Hearts, Lunchbox Friends, Detention (?). I can't remember the rest at all apart from knowing I loathe Show & Tell. It missed some variety I guess. It feels like they really grabbed some stems from Cry Baby and decided "yep we'll build all the songs we can using these". Feels very "one note"

I was kinda confused when I checked my e-mail and there was some type of "Play-Date-Competition" or whatever. They're really pushing it, hun? To imagine was the one song from Cry Baby she really ignored back then... lol.

Throwback when Nautiluss visited Lanaboards. Legends only.

I mean... in the end, Sky is some type of Label-Experiment that actually went wrong and then "right". We can't forget that homegirl started singing electropop songs with Bloodshy & Avant, pitching demos to bigger artists (or whatever rumor) and once NOTHING took off, they just sent her to management hell and scrapped her debut record (which happened to be produced by... some big POP names). Then, with budget cut and so on, she started experimenting and... well. She grew up. And singing about "being 17 and sneaking into parties with fake IDs" and "Sex Rules" (bop tho) just didn't make sense at all. Then she started to move on with some other sounds and meet new stuff and people. Her whole rant back from Halsey "stealing-her-style" and Nasty Cherry and every other of her feuds (apart from the Everything is Embarassing\Blood Orange one) she was just so out of reality and... kinda wrong?? What blows my mind is to see how many ~connections~ she actually does have in the industry (in general, from music to film and fashion) and doesn't seem to take advance of it professionally. Get David Lynch to direct one of your music videos, get your music on fashion shows... it's just crazy. Also, Happy (Late) Birthday, Sky.

tbh they're both head-to-head in this nnn At least Gaga never promised music videos nn.

I think by every era ever since Born This Way we've been... "promised" (and I say this cautiously because well sometimes it's not really her fault) new content after album release and... it never happened. The closer was probably like "Merry Xmas here listen to this early demo I never touched beyond the first take "Stuck on f*cking You". Americano (Mariacchi Version) - 2011 Princess Die - 2012\13 ARTPOP ACT II (Onion Girl, Temple, etc.) - 2014 "B-Side Collection" - 2016ish Joanne World Tour\Dive Bar Las Vegas - 2017 and these really came from her mouth, some from official sources (the Joanne World Tour "New songs" was a quote from Billboard interview, and Americano was from one of the Born This Way press-release interviews) and some others from random backstage meetings. Then we have stuff from producers like "Frankensteined", "Tea", and now "Babylon (Haus Mix)" etc etc etc.

Life Is Strange is actually a nice record, isn't it? And I call it Record because my compliment goes way more toward the production than the lyrics itself. But they're no worst than any other thing on the album and the pre chorus is good. "Ever since my dreams have changed \ I'm crashing down like paper planes". It's the one that reminds me of The Family Jewels the most. And while on TFJ subject... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tGwU--r4xA Oh wow.

She had some crazy bops back then. One Woman Army? Fantastic. Classic. Naughty Naughty? Great. World conquering. The rock-screamo-punk stuff was nice too (King of The World, Fuck Like a Star). Too bad she really outed herself as... not a nice person. I followed her for a long time but had enough. Her music with RedOne was interesting because, like Gaga, she actually had a spin over his usual tricks and everything worked fine. He really did her dirty though. Some type of "Sky-Ferreira-Promising-Music" Limbo.

her mom is iconic

I believe Madame X is a metaphor about it as well. I think cape god is a really great record. I didn't play it a lot but I appreciate it a lot. Like i've said thousand times before, it does feel like the follow up from CLX II (while super sunset does feel like the spiritual sucessor for CLX I)

I think that's true, not sure if really Gaga gave it away, but it was going around with a few batch of fans and then someone fucked up when it got a little out of control. We have different mixes (that are really... almost imperceptible) that leaked all together. And then the stems (I also believe DJWS mentioned something about it being the real final version but can't remember 100% about it)

I wish her audio quality would be a bit better but it was beautiful I see https://twitter.com/AllieXBR/status/1265098242003546118

Song is pretty great. As I mentioned before, the 90s House vibe are awesome and I wish she'd lean further and further. It's new (on the scene & inside her career), it's fresh and it's going great chartwise it seems. The video is very simple but well done which is something that was.... lacking. Things that were actually well done in the end. It's a nice Pop video, not really groundbreaking. The first part especially, before Ariana kicks in, Gaga is actually killing it with the Choreo. When they start just jumping around and hugging it's a bit... disjointed. But they do have chemistry and it looks cute, even if a little dumb.

Ugh almost double posting but I need to make a moment to remember the fact she did not only 1 but 2 THEMED performances, one of them being her fucking weeding. People were dressed up. She was wearing a white dress. Her Fiancé doesn't show up. Imagine if she did something like this in full for Super Sunset? I'm not saying just putting on a wig and vintage dresses, but a whole storyline-d concert including every persona from that era and some of the songs from Clx I & II.

O Chad is... that Bitch. Or that Hunk Top. The Demo Reel is interesting, funny how it skips some material that could be useful (I guess she didn't have acess to these songs at all??). Tongue Tied, I Will Love You More. Wonder if it's because they were promoted on their own and could be "Known songs" in her catalogue and the demo reel decided to focus on less-known cuts. (Also the amount of covers well I guess diversity is everything)
