I mean, around the time Don't Forget came out and before the disastrous gigs and the video never materialising and so on, I think it looked like things were lining up for a relatively smooth campaign. The song was good, the reception was great, the label seemed to be backing it, etc. Of course that lasted like a week or two before it all starting going downhill.
Finders Keepers (Masochism sessions) has leaked. It's nice but nothing special. In other news, another day, another slay! New shoot for Dazed, interview coming soon.
Finders Keepers is early Masochism, it was produced by Rahki. Two other songs called The Life and Touch are also from those sessions. Would imagine they're among much of the earlier material that was scrapped.
A different Cry Baby song was also leaked. "Ms. Bluebird" produced by Metronomy and co-written by Nicole Morier. It's so fucking weird ddd. There's probably a cute 12-track version of Cry Baby you can make as: 01. 17 02. One 03. Too Many Boys 04. Dynamite State 04. Whatcha Gonna Do 06. Sex Rules 07. Traces 08. Haters Anonymous 09. 99 Years 10. 108 11. Hot Chick 12. Cobra The other Bloodshy & Avant + Daniel Luttrell tracks likely on the album were Hollywood Slime, Love Is A Drug and Robotics, which would take it to 15 if they ever end up leaking.
The interview with Dazed is up! https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/57038/1/sky-ferreira-masochism-dont-forget-interview More of the same really. Masochism still on course for a release this(!) year & the ‘Don’t Forget’ music video is still being worked on… she has all my support and I wish her all the best of course, but does she know it’s basically October now?? Lovely photos though. Really gorgeous.
I wouldn't surprise me if she's trying to organise some kind of exit deal with Capitol. A lot of the delays before were about making sure there was a solid campaign in place with both Sky and the label happy and on the same page. Now that there's been so much time, and it's clear that that's not going to happen - it wouldn't surprise me if she's trying to reach an agreement where they'll just put it on streaming one day, let her out her contract and leave all the promo etc up to her. Then again this is Sky so who knows.
