I don't like it. :(
It sounds a bit rough, like a demo - I usually love that kind of sound but it doesn't grab me..
Wait till the pop stuff...

I've been creeping her Twiiter, and it seems like she is also going to be working with Diplo, Benny Blanco and Dr. Luke.

I need a rough neck brother that can satisfy me
^ooh that's exciting! Cannot wait to hear more of her! I love her voice.
You're just going to have to accept that as your friend's exposure increases, some people just won't like her work and some of them will say pithy things about it and her (not that that's necessarily even happened here...yet). You won't do yourself or your friend any favors by getting into flame wars about her, her producers or her music. Just take a deep breath and let criticisms roll off your back. Other than that...have fun.Originally Posted by PopExcess
She said Britney wont be working with Bloodshy because they're too busy working with her... um she's a mess.
That was a joke, take it down a notch.Originally Posted by lindsie

stay mad baby.
I somehow missed that link to the Stevie Nicks cover. It's wonderful. This girl is definitely destined for big things.
Her tweets are hilarious so it'd be a pity if she had to rein in her sardonic sense of humour for fear of it being interpreted as delusional bigheadedness.
She working with everyone..
Her Twiiter:

Story About Sky!

Please say hello to Sky Ferreira
November 18, 2009
2010 is almost upon us and with it comes a whole bunch of new artists pitching for space in your heads and hearts. Into this maelstrom steps the prodigiously talented Sky Ferreira. She's 17, from LA and gearing up to unleash her self-proclaimed "revolutionary pop album" on the world. It's chock-full of planet-sized potential hits, co-written by Sky in collaboration with the likes of Bloodshy & Avant, Greg Kurstin, Paul Epworth, Dallas Austin and Linda Perry.
Sky has early press confirmed with Q, Dazed & Confused, ID, FHM, Company and RWD. She’s also building herself a great following on Myspace and Twitter.
Her first single will be tickling the airwaves in the spring.
Sky, in her own words......
My name is Sky Ferreira and I live in Los Angeles. I’m 17 years old (born July 8th, 1992) and I kind of miss my braces. I sang opera and gospel music my whole life. I started going out and doing promoting at, like, 14? I think so anyway. It feels a long time ago already. I became pretty aware of things that were going on culture wise – mostly about music. I would say fashion, but to be honest I’m pretty clueless about fashion.
When I was 15 I made a demo with a friend who I met through someone I was "dating". Well, I had my first "heartbreak" over this boy who DUMPED ME FOR A GIRL FROM THE INTERNET IN ANOTHER STATE and the song ended up being about him. It was almost like a 15 year-old’s version of ‘Careless Whisper’ in outer space. I've never been SO grateful to have my heart crushed into a million pieces! Seriously, it turned into kind of a MySpace phenomenon.
Anyway, I approached loads of producers, and constantly got rejected or given the old, "I'll give you a beat for $100,000". Well I ended up talking to these Swedish guys named Bloodshy and Avant, the Teddybears, and approached them with a slightly arrogant, non-professional MySpace message about my voice and song writing and why they should use me. They responded back and were interested, I was a bit shocked. I had a conversation with Bloodshy about my knowledge of music then suddenly he kind of took me under his wing. You should hear the music we’re making together.
When I was younger I got to see many bands and DJs grow as artists by going out, even though most of the places were 18 or 21 and over, which is kind of ridiculous. I don't think there should be an age limit for music. For some reason a lot of my friends are way older than me, because most kids my age never seem to "get me". Maybe it’s because I was painfully shy when I was younger; awkward, and willing to wear / speak / do what I wanted to, even if I got a lot of criticism for it.
I always felt like an adult even when I was six years old. I got to speak to a very influential man the other day who has inspired me a lot musically. I would say his name but the last thing I need to be is a name-dropper. Lots of people think that he is a weirdo or a creep; if he's a creep, I hope to meet more. Maybe I'm a creep also or the people who consider us "creeps" are really the creeps. We were on the phone and he analyzed me perfectly. He goes, "I know right now you're being polite because you really look up to me for some reason, but you're a very angry person. You've told a lot of important people in this business to fuck off and you've been fucked over countless times. You and I have something in common. You're a 17 year-old with a 70 year-old’s mind, and I'm a 70 year-old with a young person’s mind."
You know, I'm a pretty nice person. I’m secretly insane though. I have insecurities just like everyone else, and growing up on the internet is pretty insane. My insecurities have inspired me musically to work harder. I think if you put them to good use it will get you really far. People talk about me. I talk about people sometimes. I don’t care. People talk about people and then, sadly, some people don't like you whether you did anything to them or not. So, thank you all the people who have called me things, done things to me, tried to humiliate me, and were straight-out-cruel. You have inspired me to do better. I can't pretend that it hasn't bothered me... Fuck, I cried last week in public and made a fool out of myself because of it.
People who have really inspired me to succeed are the ones that have supported me the whole time through. It’s kinda weird to say it but, they’ve been my fans, and I seem to have millions on MySpace. So, I vow to make my FANS my first priority. I know that sounds corny as fuck, but they are what makes my career at the end of the day.
I think people need a REAL PERSON out there. Someone who has fucked up, has gotten grounded, shopped at Target, been humiliated, who has really succeeded by doing something instead of having it done, but has had some pretty surreal fucking things happen to them . Record-deal bidding war, crazy producers approaching and....FREE CLOTHES!!
My mood swings are never ending, I like to be versatile. I can't describe my "sound". Lyrically, vocally and attitude-wise you can tell it’s going to be Sky Ferreira. I’m doing a revolutionary pop album. The genre within a genre is endless. I want to be known as a performer and artist. Not a Fashion Girl, IT Girl, Party-Fucking -Photo Girl if that makes any sense. Hey, there isn't anything wrong with that, but it really isn't, well..."me". It gets pretty frustrating to be classified as that.
I really think after my first album comes out you will get to know me a lot better than a written biography. And talking of which, gee, this bio is long as fuck. Imagine how long I‘ll rant by the time I'm 25!?
My name is Sky Ferreira. I’m looking forward to getting to know you.
I'm thinking this could be potentially amazing.
Same. Cannot wait. All I've heard so far has been really good.
Count me in!
You guys!!!!
I FINALLY GOT AN MP3 OF HER COVER OF 'STAND BACK'!!!!
Sorry, I am very excited!! I've been looking for this for AGES!!
It's so amazing!!!
SKY FERREIRA:
She is currently working on her debut album with Swedish production gods Bloodshy & Avant and, in the mother (naughty kid sister?) of all generational team-ups, she will soon be collaborating with Britney Spears on a 90s-inspired electro number produced by rap mogul Cisco Adler called "Age is Just a Number", after the two met at a Barnes & Noble in west Hollywood, where Spears recognised Ferreira from her video blog. "I think we all knew this was coming," La Ferreira said with a laugh at the VMA awards, "but it's an honour to work with such a legend!" The honour will be all Britney's. Prince will be sick when he hears it (she's also lined up to cover Nasty Girl by Vanity Six).
Britney doesn't do duets unless it's Madonna or Don Phillip.
