evalionisameme 13,889 Posted November 29, 2022 6 hours ago, PolaroidWhore said: Also should add, you guys should stop leaking her music and instead leak her contract, or at least her terms that she signed off on single handedly at 15 years old (freshly dropped out from school, and vulnerable, UMG preyed on a minor to exploit and treat as a cash cow and then shelve when they don't comply to every demand and decision... , I am going to sound like a broken record but, digesting the last 10 years... its something that needs to be mentioned more often bc its disgusting .... i am sure it would clear up every question but I promise you Universal Music Group would rather see her fold than give the fire oxygen.... no one here leaked her music, it was published on dbr-I understand you4 concern but we cannot do anything regarding sky's career-the best we can do is not publicise the leaks which we did- sky should not have signed a contract at 15 if this was the case and her mom should have reviewed a lawyer to look at the terms and conditions.what’s done is done-her case is quite common but it’s not as black and white as this makes out-clearly. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melodrama 1,427 Posted November 29, 2022 I love Sky but Lorde signed her contract when she was 13 (mind you, not even 15) and she is free AF right now, minding her own business. Can y'all stop with the “she signed when she was 15” excuses please? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evalionisameme 13,889 Posted November 29, 2022 Just now, lilac heaven said: okayyyy but every contract is vastly different, and sky’s whole situation is very different… when Sky was young and signed, they tried to make her into something she didn’t want to be, and when she fought back, they fought back harder. it doesn’t seem like Ella ever had that issue; when she was being developed, it was also very clearly on her own terms and what felt genuine and true to her. 2 completely different situations, 2 completely different labels, and probably 2 completely different contracts Lorde was developed as an anti-lana which is why royals was pushed as the lead single- the record label head and lorde went out of their way to compare music constantly. She wasn’t as completely organic as you think 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ella also received pretty much immediate success when she started releasing which likely gave her a lot of freedom, control, and just artistic trust. Sky never had an immediate breakthrough like that I agree with this and I know, but I said that to some people here who keep bringing the “age” to the discussion. Like they memorized a sentence which goes like “but she signed when she was 15!!!!” and they keep saying this over and over again. I was trying to say, let's not make that the ONLY excuse because of course there are people who signed even younger than Sky and are doing fine right now. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evalionisameme 13,889 Posted November 29, 2022 1 minute ago, lilac heaven said: I really don’t think she was developed with the intention of being an “anti-lana” lol, and it’s clear that whatever she was developed into still resonated with her own personality and vision for herself as an artist a lot more than what Capitol was trying to mold Sky into at the beginning. And Lorde was only annoying and compared herself to other people because she was a suddenly extremely famous 16 year old with a big mouth and big ego There’s evidence to suggest otherwise, I’m not doubting lorde was genuine in her music etc but she was never lower class-people living near her have said the family was relatively wealthy and had an expensive house. all marketing. there were many comparisons made between Lana and lorde again if your record label is saying this-it’s for promotion tactics. Despite this she used to re blog Lana on tumblr quite a bit pre debut so she clearly was a fan. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think Capitol chose DF maybe because Sky showed them as the first track of the album, if she has ever showed them an early version of it. It's been a recurrent strategy by labels to make the first track the lead single. It would really make sense, and DF seems to fit really well as the first track honey... she is just talking SHIT "I will give you one hint about one of my first two singles: There's a fire on your street x Sky" 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

samsclubPRESENTSavamax 475 Posted November 29, 2022 I don't think the Descending leak is that bad when you listen to it on decent speakers. It is the demo so you have to overlook the scrambles and scratches (meant to keep bootleggers from creating their own Masochism vinyl) to get the idea of what the final cut is going to sound like. Anyone looking to play leaks on repeat like they're official tracks is out of luck on this one. 🙁 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
