Good morning!
 

Me when I've never read a single page of this thread:

Ya mad, rancid girl?
I have absolutely NO CLUE of why some of you get TRIGGERED when discussing someone with 1 (one) album and that has been just one giant example of label fuckery and mismanagement. An easy-and-quick Google can show you how some mammoths from the Music Industry were trapped in label hell for YEARS, including Sky Ferreira's own Fairy Godmother Michael Jackson; Then we have much more recent cases like JoJo, Kesha, Tinashe, Charli XCX and many other girls who signed contracts when they were underage and were put through HELL for no other reason than... you know, "because we can. You should have read the lines!"
 
It's pretty clear that any initial plan to sell Sky as a major pop artist backfired and, by that point (and I'm talking about 2011. 11 Years Ago) they already invested some great Million$$ on her. They literally had a full album ready for release, 3 music videos, she wasn't working with your next door Soundcloud producer but Dallas Austin and Bloodshy & Avant. It wasn't some sort of "She's cute, we're gonna give this bedroompop girl a chance!", No, it's a fact that SKY FERREIRA was a project that Capitol failed to manage and sell. Once the singles didn't stick, the debut album was shelved, she was put on the refrigerator and no one knew what to do anymore. I guess if you're soooooo entitled about label politics, you know that Major Labels are almost like Loans and artists are obligated to refund every penny invested on the process + have to make sure there's PROFIT. Sky Ferreira wasn't profitable, and then she started to take control and make sure that her music was aligned to her own taste, which meant a left turn over the sound instead of bright-shiny-electropop.
 
We heard from the horse's mouth that she had to foot the bill over Night Time My Time, and the lack of investment from Label resulted in no singles being promoted apart from You're Not the One and I Blame Myself (which, shocking, weren't pushed over Radio). The album was released without physical copies ready on the release date, and most of the material was released in batches mostly done over demand (so, yes, you can't buy a "Night Time My Time" Vinyl without giving your mortgage away because they were limited pressing in 2014 and then nothing else). She also said that the album being critically acclaimed and adored wasn't something that impressed them, or made them bown down and say "Ok, you were right", but more likely made them resentful that 21yo. Girl managed to put an album out without their hands. If that's not lowkey personal....
 
And of course, as my original post stated, there's no way she is a saint and shouldn't be blamed. Her "endless perfectionism" is still aggravating the process. But after all this time, she's been the one who actually put stuff on her soundcloud and performed unreleased content. She can be the one editing the music video just because they actually said "You know what? We are not paying anyone anymore to edit this just because you don't like it, lol" and that still doesn't mean she'll be able to release it without propper approval. She also said the music video has been done for 3 (over 4 now) months, so maybe you should send Capitol a DM on twitter asking where is it, since you're besties.
 
I swear it's fucking psychotic how some of you really want to undermine what it is like to be under a corporation and try to bash artists, mostly women, without giving it a second thought.

In other news, Happy Birthday Night Time My Time!! Few artists have such a bulletproof Debut album. Maybe because it was like the third album or so in the making, but you get it.

I love how you were so self-righteous at the Taylor Swift thread, refusing to let criticism slide and yet here you are, shading Sky and assuming she’s a drug addict. Not very consistent of you.
 
I also hope to god we are not drug-shaming her. Addiction is a serious issue.

i can't imagine a reality wherein a year or two or ten from now if she's actually gotten around to finishing the album she gets press again with interview, dazed, v, nme, pitchfork, the guardian, vulture, and vogue. like she really went and lied to every publication on the planet earth

Nope, the Azealia Banks playboy magazine can easily be found, both have had minimal exposure to the general public imo (For a celebrity) + (both have about 1 big album, then side projects and EPs that fans know about)

Okay but I’m not on here as consistently as some of you saying flop flop flop etc, it’s boring, start a twitter thread if you’re that annoyed 

But it does happen? Quite often even with major label artists, I’m not saying sky is deficient of any blame but albums and videos by Lana herself like UV were nearly entirely remade or the videos were scrapped(actually happened) after label interference.
Like some of you just want to hate her for fun, watch a film, go on a date with your partner etc

That would surely draw Sky’s attention and then she would address the album here wow your mind 

someone rename this thread “The Complaint Thread”

To me it's very telling how well established celebrities reach out to help Sky and then seem to dip out of the scene when they see what's really going on behind the scenes.

i took like a 5 month break from this site and y'all are still here... i have to admire the dedication

Why the hell is this thread even alive?

another 111 essay……..give it up girl!

Hate to say it, but I just know Sky was spitting fire when she found out that Halsey made an album with nine inch nails 😭😭😭
 
Sky probably have a vision of masochism being ultra cinematic and shit, that's why she wants to do big budget MVS, like, she did the Omanko, Lost in my bedroom and Love in Stereo MVS with a small budget, they looked really good. She's really a complicated mind 

when the 5 remaining ferraris show up at capitol records holding up signs saying free masochism & the label execs see it and don't know what they're referring to

I would do that if I were her.

She's probably the one selling ntmt vinyls for like 500 dollars on the internet 

maybe that's why she can't finish the album she's using the capitol money to pay her rent 

.

i agree wholeheartedly. i mean she really should be a lot more transparent with her fans. i literally do not care about magazine shoots or interviews. she's all talk at this point. 
it's a bit sick and twisted to drag the fans along while giving way less than the bare minimum. i wonder how she pays her bills honestly.
