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

[theelusivechanteuse]

Apparently they gave the concept of the Don't Forget video to another artist at Capitol so she said she's over it / is giving up. I feel so sad for her.

This is rancid if true. All the other label fuckery I sorta expect, but this one crosses an unexpected line for me.

 

[1991]

She’s low key dragging the label on Instagram stories. You’ll be able to see for yourselves but basically confirming she wants to put out both Innocent Kind and Descending but is being prevented from doing so.

Let’s hope the media pick up on this because I think bad PR/backlash towards Capitol is most likely the only way they’ll cave.

I feel so bad for her. Dealing with chronic health issues by itself can be the most debilitating thing. In addition to this label fuckery that has been going on for litreally over a decade. She's been speaking up about it since then, so I can only assume that due to this some exec at Capitol (probably an old white man in a suit) has a personal vendetta against her. Of all cases of label fuckery this has to be the worst. It's like they are trying to destroy her. I remember when DMX passed she posted a story that alluded to artists having to pay their own medical bills, and this effecting her. I know we like to kii and joke around but I think there's geiunaly something incredibly sinister happening behind the scenes.

Halsey moves

Surely a few of us sad alt-pop queers can do what we did for Fiona Apple and mobilise for a peaceful demonstration outside the Capitol Records office?

Spoiler

 

[mindtrappa]

She really should reactivate her Twitter and just rip into Capitol. At this point what are they gonna do? Not let her release her album? Oh wait…

I feel like there’s nothing left for her to lose.

This clip is great, hope we get to hear the full song. My Spotify seems to now be geared up to play Don't Forget every time an album finishes. I'm not complaining, it still sounds so fresh to me.

Capitol can't seriously be expecting Sky to have some kind of tiktok viral smash?

Both snippets she shared…

Capitol can rot in hell.

I’m beginning to think Sky is our new Poe.

 

[Lander]

I saw her Instagram story on Friday… It’s so frustrating, her material is so good. I wonder if she’d be able to do a Jojo and get a lawyer to get her out of her contract?

 

[1991]

I was just about to say, in a perfect world she'd be able to hire the lawyer that got both Jojo and Azealia out of their major label deals. He got such a good deal for Azealia that Interscope ended up paying her to leave (think she got around $600,000) with her masters intact.

I’m beginning to think Sky is our new Poe.

At least Poe got two albums out :(

Another month passes by and we get a Sky leak instead of an official release. This time, it's a cover of Cherry Bomb by the Runaways:

Scream

 

[Runawaywithme]

(a verison of) Descending leaked. It's of course amazing. I do really feel for her though, this could be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

 

[VitaminBee]

It sounds good but… Why does it sound like it has another song playing at the same time?

It really sucks how Capitol has treated her and her music and made it hell for her to try and release anything.

 

[cometomyparty]

It is unlistenable because of the ridiculous edits over it.
