Bloodshy and avant aren't cheap. if she gets dropped this is going to be a ryn weaver situation where she's probably going to be taken to court over all the money she owes them. sky signed with them to be a major popstar, and then changed her mind pls explain yurself, what do you mean that sky owes them money? 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky worked with really expensive producers from 2009-2012 building her debut album, but almost all those songs were scrapped, the label was paying for the producers, and when a label do this the artists have to pay them after the releases. But Sky don't have money and also can't release anything 6 Quote Janelle Monáe • Sky Ferreira • Grace Jones • Spellling • FKA twigs • Kate Bush • Kylie Minogue • Charli XCX • Carly Rae Jepsen • LOOΠ∆ • Red Velvet • Janet Jackson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's actually an extremely corrupt practice especially since they prey on people not understanding what they are signing for here's something similar with ryn weaver when she decided to leave her label because she was r*ped by someone she was forced to work with https://atrl.net/forums/topic/342601-ryn-weaver-owes-interscope-500k/?ct=1615058736 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KimKaDAB 3,896 Posted March 23, 2022 Hopefully Sky will be drop dead gorgeous in that upcoming Netflix movie, so tiktok girls without a job will do a lot of edits and fancams about her and *BOOOM* she is the new 2020's beauty icon just like she was in the past decade 8 Quote Janelle Monáe • Sky Ferreira • Grace Jones • Spellling • FKA twigs • Kate Bush • Kylie Minogue • Charli XCX • Carly Rae Jepsen • LOOΠ∆ • Red Velvet • Janet Jackson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because bitch only has ONE album (and three EPs) which was not a big success in sales. She has no toured that much since her career started. Her last big tour was with Miley Cyrus during her Bangerz days. Her last big acting gig was for that very brief cameo in "Baby Driver" back in 2017. She has had zero to little success as an actress. She only gets very small cameo-like roles. Her last big model gig was years ago and recently she's trying to restart that. OF COURSE SHE HASN'T PAID CAPITOL BACK ALREADY! The little money she ears she uses it for herlsef, debts and music recording/production. 2 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

drewby 9,246 Posted March 23, 2022 I don't think she would've been allowed to release NTMT if she hadn't partially paid back the work done on her (multiple) scrapped debuts. She probably exhausted the advance, which is why most of it ended up being self-funded. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EXODUS 9,914 Posted March 23, 2022 24 minutes ago, sophiesmom said: then why wont let her release some new music and tour??? - She was busy with acting gigs during around 2015-2018. - She got sick or had health issues during around 2016-2019. - She has been busy recording Masochism throughout 2013-2022. - The pandemic axed the chance to release music planned during 2020-2021. That's why she hasn't toured or hasn't release music (mostly because of label issues the latter one). Also, she prepared a covers EP last year, but the information about it got leaked here in LanaBoards by an insider and it got heavy negative feedback from her fans on social media. 4 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

She probably exhausted the advance, which is why most of it ended up being self-funded. Well, Ghost EP and NTMT were released because she earned a lot of momentum, popularity and sales/streams because of her releasing the rough demo for Everything is Embarassing. People wanted more from her so badly. The Ghost EP was pretty much a compilation of songs she recently recorded (that's why they all sound very different from each other) and was a good way to capitalize from EIE viral hit moment. NTMT was pretty much allowed to be released because Capitol allowed her only if she funded the whole thing from her own pockets and release it in a certain window of time, because they didn't want her to lose the momentum and popularity. It was Capitol last "Sky Ferreira is popular right now" moment, so they took advantage of it and Sky said "watch me record the whole album and finish it in three weeks". 5 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
sxcx 414 Posted March 23, 2022 idk if anyone else remembers Niykee Heaton but she was also signed to Capital and had similar issues with them as Sky and DeathByRomy did. She made a really interesting video talking about it here: 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
