EXODUS 9,915 Posted March 10, 2023 I wish Sky would do something like Anitta. If she doesn't stand up and start explaining her situation and showing proofs, then I won't believe her at all. She acts so sketchy and most people keep thinking it's her lying ass. SKY (if you are reading this and probably you are) RECOVER YOUR FANS AND START EXPLAINING YOURSELF. If Capitol is truly the problem, then expose them like Anitta did with her label, because at this point no one believes you and thinks you are the problem. 8 Quote Hikaru Utada • BANKS • Rina Sawayama • Aly & AJ • MARINA • Björk • Kate Bush • Marion Ravn • Carly Rae Jepsen • Hilary Duff • Charli XCX • The Cardigans • Mitski • Phoebe Bridgers • Allie X • Caroline Polachek • Meg & Dia • Dia Frampton • Olivia Lufkin • Poppy • Grimes • Melanie Martinez • Lana Del Rey • Bat for Lashes • Ayumi Hamasaki • Paramore • Hayley Williams • Evanescence/Amy Lee • ACO • LIGHTS • Alexz Johnson • Avril Lavigne • Florrie • Flyleaf/Lacey Sturm • Tove Lo • Sky Ferreira • HANA • Daine • Foxes • CHVRCHES • Lorde Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

champainproblms 1,451 Posted March 10, 2023 anitta is pissed because she doesn't get enough promotion the way that she wants to, but she still released her awful album last year, and she releases a new droplet single at least one time a month, it's a very different situation than a label not letting her go nor letting her release any music, which is allegedly what is happening with sky. but i get the point, enough with the vague stories, either explain yourself or what EXACTLY capitol is doing to keep you from releasing music 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Capitol was truly guarding her from releasing anything, I doubt they would approve those. Plus, she said of Descending, "I wish someone would let me properly release it", which leaves the room open for interpretation...it sounds like Capitol would let her officially release it, but perhaps the rollout and promotional efforts made or lack of wouldn't feel "proper" to her. If this is really all about budgets and promotions I think it's very petty. Look what Lana has done, albeit with a seemingly supportive label, but little to no real standard promotion. I could see how problems could arrive even if she went this route, maybe with vinyl pressings and sales? Still, she has a somewhat loyal 'fanbase' (using that term loosely cause lbr...) that could've kept her somewhat afloat had she kept on the beaten path. Honestly though, I really feel like it's more than not wanting to greenlight projects/promotion/budget. There has to be another element to it that we're not knowledgeable of. Maybe them wanting to control the output. Who knows. I'm still, naively, rooting for her to make some progress in the next few years. Random, but her covering "Easy" felt very telling of how she feels in her current situation. In fact, a lot of the stuff she's done recently have this vibe, like Guardian, of feeling trapped, like Cross You Out. Whether that's internal or there's a lot of power and control dynamics happening BTS, I feel for her. She's clearly an artist, I mean, she's still been creative and shows some drive artistically, so I can't get behind the "lazy" narrative. Stubborn, perhaps... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, I mean look at all the poor quality music videos Chuck does for Lana. Then there's barely any promo for Lana from her label and yet she streams and sells well despite that. I feel like Sky wants a full promo with red carpet and all and that's not gonna happen. If you read some of her Playboy interview, it's like she feels she's entitled to the red carpet roll out. Screw the roll out. Just release the music. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lonely lonely night 4,969 Posted March 12, 2023 i don’t understand what there is left to debate at this point. capitol is a record label, labels make money by publishing music. by not publishing music they are not making money. demonstrably sky has at least a few singles (likely not a finished album) she wants to release so the issue can only be with the budget they will offer her. the longer she goes without releasing the less interest there is among potential listeners. less interest means less return on capitol’s investment if they fund a release. it is a business decision not to meet sky’s financial demands and if in a decade she hasn’t managed to come up with a workaround to this problem then she is making a decision to accept the halt in her own career. she is talented and it is an unfortunate situation but this victim mentality is clearly getting her nowhere. maybe if she would release something then she could grow her fanbase as well as build a rapport with capitol in order to receive a bigger budget or at the very least work towards finishing her contract but she won’t. so what now? i also just really don’t get the impression that her financial demands are reasonable. with don’t forget she got interviews, photo shoots, festival performances, what more does she want? they even paid for a music video that she herself was responsible for getting shelved. part of her charm has always been her lofi tumblrina visuals - like name one sky ferreira music video that isn’t her just seductively writhing around looking angsty, i’ll wait. now 10 years and 10 minutes of music later (i’m being generous) she suddenly wants a trillion dollar budget? for what? she funded her first album herself and it went over as well as it could have, why is she so opposed to doing it again? like obviously yes it sucks but it’s to her own detriment to continue stomping her feet about it rather than being proactive giant wall of text so i apologize but that is literally it like there is nothing else to say and watching people continue to chase their own tails about this is so droll. anyways leak all my lovers die 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bluefiona 8,050 Posted March 13, 2023 I have a feeling even if she was "free" from Capitol and independent, she still would pull tricks like this. The problem is she thinks she's in the same level as Madonna. She's not. She's not even in the same level as Halsey or Katy. It's going to be 11 years soon. She's hurting herself by acting so superior. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
