Stop Bothering Sky Ferreira About When Her Album Is Coming Out
For a long time now, Sky Ferreira has been at work on Masochism, the follow-up to her great 2013 debut Night Time, My Time. She’s never given it a release date, but she’s been talking about the album for nearly a year, and we still haven’t heard any of it. Excitement remains high, but Ferreira is evidently done with people bothering her about when the album will be out. On Twitter last night, Ferreira wrote a series of tweets, going in on “bullying” and promising that she wasn’t going to make the album to fit into anyone’s timeline: “I’d rather make & release the best/most honest thing possible instead of trying to race time.” Here’s what she wrote:
I never gave a date on my album. Therefore there's no "delay". I'm working on it & have been since I was touring

Bullying me on the Internet or whatever will not make the process faster

I've said the same thing multiple times so I'm not going to go on a "rant" about it
— Sky Ferreira (@skyferreira) March 21, 2016
I've been working on it and doing lots of other (creative) things
— Sky Ferreira (@skyferreira) March 21, 2016
There isn't a timeline on music or creativity in general

I'd rather make & release the best/most honest thing possible instead of trying to race time…

…or the Internet/short attention spans. "Momentum" or hype isn't real (in terms of what I want to make/do in life). It's short lived.

Quality over quantity.

Anyways. I'm really excited for it.

I kinda can't stand the words "rant" & "delay" 'cause anytime I talk about my album they tend to get used the most when neither exist rn lol
— Sky Ferreira (@skyferreira) March 21, 2016
They both mean something negative but only positive things have been happening when it comes to making this album so STOP USING IT

Unfortunately not just journalist but far too many ppl RT @tragedyfetish: @skyferreira "rant" is just music journalist for "woman talking"”

We here at Stereogum remain crazy excited for new Sky Ferreira music, whenever it might happen to come out.
