Sky Ferreira Talks Music, Jeremy Scott & Inspiration

Sky Ferreira, seen here wearing eyeliner, talks about being inspired by producer Jon Brion, what her schedule has been making new music and wearing clothes by fashion designer Jeremy Scott

recently spoke with Fashion News Live before a Jeremy Scott fashion show, where the pop artist talked about what has been inspiring her and what fans can expect with her music.

“I have many inspirations actually,” the 20-year-old said. “I think it’s more life situations and who I’ve been working with. I’ve been working with Jon Brion on tons of stuff, so a lot of his work has been inspiring me.”

As for how what her schedule has been recording her new music, Sky said, “I’ve been going to the recording studio in LA every night for the past 3 1/2 months and I work until like nine in the morning, so it’s pretty insane. It’s a lot slower and a lot more organic than it was before. I’d say half of it is a bit more dense and a lot more down tempo, piano driven songs.”

Sky Ferreira On Debut Album & Getting A Song From Shirley Manson

Sky Ferreira blonde

appeared on Belly of the Beast with Hannah Rad recently on EVR.com, where the singer talked about catching the attention of Bloodshy and Avant on MySpace, how many tracks fans can expect on her full-length debut album and teaming up with Shirley Manson on ‘Red Lips’.

“I basically talked a lot of sh** with them. I was like, I can do everything, even though I couldn’t do that much besides sing and write kind of, not my best, but I tried, and I got a record deal from it.”

Talking about plans to release her debut album in 2013, Sky said, “If it was up to me, I’d put 16 (tracks on the album), but I obviously can’t do that. So like 12 to 14, but I’ll say 12. Actually I’m trying to figure out how to do it, because half of it is dance pop, and the other half is stripped down with Jon Brion.

Talking about the Manson penned track ‘Red Lips’, featured on Sky’s second EP ‘Ghost’ which was released last month, Sky explained, “It was originally her song from her solo album, and she was like, ‘Do you want it?’ I was like I’m not gonna say no to Shirley Manson.” As for meeting the Garbage singer, she explained, “My friend Greg was working with her on a shoot, and somehow my name came up during the shoot, and she was like, ‘I know Sky. She used to work with Greg Kurstin and I’ve know her for years’, even though I’ve never met her but she’s known about me since MySpace. She knew me from MySpace. That’s kind of how it happened and he kind of, and this is when I wasn’t doing too well, I was in record label hell, I got shelved and I couldn’t go anywhere obviously and I didn’t know what to do. She kind of was like, ‘Record this song and maybe something will happen.’ So I recorded it and it came out.”

Sky Ferreira: I’m Going Through A Reinvention Phase

Sky Ferreira by Rankin

spoke with Rolling Stone in a Q&A, talking about her role as a face for CK One and the progress on her debut album. “I’m going through a reinvention phase, where I’m trying to figure out where it is I want to go next,” the 19-year-old said. “I’m not sixteen anymore, you know? I’m not sure I want to continue in the dance-pop vein that I’ve come to be associated with. The thing people may not know yet is that I have a really good voice; I can actually sing and I’d like to use that to my advantage. Everyone’s vocals are so processed now. So, showcasing what is unique about my voice and my songwriting is a priority. I have a lot more things to say now.”

EMI Pushes Back Sky Ferreira’s Debut Album Indefinitely

Sky Ferreira by Rankin

checked in with fans on her Facebook on Wednesday (December 15), bringing the news that her debut album has been pushed back by EMI. The album was originally set for a January 11, 2011 release. The 18-year-old insisted she hadn’t been dropped by her label, but the UK release of ‘One’ and U.S. release of ‘Obsession’ likely didn’t meet expectations of a major label. Sky writes:

Okay. My album is no longer coming out on 1-11-11… unfortunately. It was done, but things/people constantly change within ALL record labels & in life (DUH!). I am now recording even more material for the record because I feel like I’ve grown (musically) since when I was 15-16 years old. All of the songs will eventually come out because they are all important to me. I’m trying to push for an EP to come out in February too. It’s been extremely frustrating, but you know “these kinda things happen for a reason”. Thank you for the support and I’m glad I can CLARIFY what’s going on… Keep your eyes peeled for some big things happening this winter… STAY TUNED!<3

PS. I am still on EMI

P.P.S. Shutup forum ********* (I’d curse but my 12 year old cousin is on this page) I haven’t even started yet.

P.P.P.S I love you.
