Sky Ferreira’s New Single “Downhill Lullaby” Out Next Week
It’s been over four years since we first started hearing about the follow-up to Sky Ferreira’s fantastic 2013 debut Night Time, My Time. It was going to be called Masochism, and its lead single, “Guardian,” was going to come out in the summer of 2015. That didn’t happen.
We don’t know exactly what did happen, and Sky Ferreira quickly got sick of being asked about it. Last year, she said that her label had locked her out of her SoundCloud account, and after getting access again, she celebrated by sharing a cover of “Voices Carry” and dropping a few hints about the album.
And now, we might finally be getting some new original music. Ferreira has been teasing the release of something on social media all month. And today, she posted what sure looks like the artwork for a new single called “Downhill Lullaby” with the caption “03/27/19.” That’s next Wednesday.
In her earlier tweets, Ferreira said that “The first song isn’t a pop song” and that “Some of these songs might lean -accidentally – little -far -too-deep- v agro bittersweet symphony.” We also know that Tamaryn is involved, although we don’t know if she’s on the first single or not. Get excited!

The first song isn’t a pop song…because I really want to make a video for it (& I love it). I’m confident about all of the pop songs on my record so I decided to start with something different.

In @latimes article about @Tamarynmusic it is revealed that the singer was writing with @SkyFerreira for Sky's "forthcoming second album". "Sky's making more challenging choices, she's had every opportunity you can imagine, but she's chosen to go on her own artistic journey"
