Sky Ferreira - "Don't Forget" + General Discussion

[slaybellz]

and even Descending...

Yes she's still alive!!

Hands All Over Me really does sound like it will be immense in studio form.

Will there be a studio version? It's a Tamaryn cover:

Not to be dramatic but if I don’t see a setlist soon I’m gonna set myself on fire.

why am i also screaming at sky updates meeting her

 

[slaybellz]

She must have made some tweaks cause Descending's not on there?

 

[Jwentz]

I’m a bit perturbed Guardian hasn’t returned to the set at any point.

 

[DinahLee]

The good sis SkyFUpdates is posting videos in a thread. Honestly? She sounds very good.



It just took her 3 warmup gigs!

Spoiler

edit: and of course she didn't do All My Lovers Die, but Innocent Kind and Descending

Sky serving “please don’t come any closer”. I cannot.

 

[BreatheBox]

got Descending in full!!

 

[Beautiful Child 2]

Seems like our hero triumphed in the end

 

[1991]

Laura Snapes interviewed her for the Guardian, it’s a bit of a tough read. Seems like she’s really been through it over the last few years and.. still is.

Here’s the link.

The last line made me choke up and then smile.

“That’s the thing, too,” she says. Most of the artists she loved (like Love, Apple and Aimee Mann) “were in their early 30s when they solidified who they were. So it’s not like it’s all over for me”

 

[Beautiful Child 2]

That was a really illuminating piece - not shying away from the mess but allowing Sky to address it on her terms. This whole section I particularly enjoyed -

She thinks she may have taken “a little too much pride” in her difficult experiences not destroying her. “Like, ‘Oh, it didn’t kill me!’ That’s a very low standard.” She’s trying to value herself better, and was touched last week when some teenage girls messaged asking to meet. They were babies when she released her debut, yet her music “seems to be very personal for them, and it makes me feel like I did something right”. Even her recent live humiliations reflect her self-respect. “If I have to play the song five times, so be it if I have to look like a fool.”

There’s a self-awareness there that seems to have tended the fire of determination that’s guided her through the darkness of well, her whole life. Her stubbornness is as much her superpower as it is her Achilles heel.

 

[1991]

She’s on the cover of NME, with an interview here. Love the stories she told about Grace Jones.

 

[Andrew]

She is getting amazing promo

 

[Lost In Japan.]

She comes across so well in both of these articles, and it does feel like when the album drops it’s going to be incredible.

Fuck Capitol!! Put her catalogue on streaming!

 

[sesita]

I love her cover of Voices Carry so much.

 

[luluthecat]

I love her cover of Voices Carry so much.

I've been blasting Voices Carry all morning

 

[Bobbyrae]

I love her cover of Voices Carry so much.

Honestly, same. I hope we eventually get it on streaming officially.

If there's one real positive to take away from everything is that the material is really good. Don't Forget, Innocent Kind, All My Lovers Die and Descending sound like discography highlights to me. Those that have the demo to All My Lovers Die have said the studio version is something very special.

The London show seems like it went down a storm from those who were there, hopefully they've fine tuned the problems they were having (I mean she fired the sound guy..), she puts it down to teething issues and she's able to go on and kill her last two festival appearances. The next shows are 25th and 30th June.

The Guardian piece says she only owes Capitol 1 more album after Masochism drops, imagine if they had let her release it in 2015. She'd be independent by now.
