Sky Ferriera talks new album, previews new song
http://www.billboard.com/articles/co...am-troy-carter
On writing for the album and what it sounds like:
Quote:
A handful of new songs were written while Ferreira was on the road over the past year, when she was “bored on airplanes” and traveling in between concurrent tours.
“Right now, I have the opportunity to try things,” says Ferreira. “I’m enjoying myself a lot more. I think I’m in a different headspace than I was last time out, because so much has happened in the last year and a half. I think [the album] will be a little heavier. It’s not going to be an electronic album completely — it’s going to be a blend of everything.”

On who is producing the album:
Quote:
Ferreira says that she is re-teaming with producers Ariel Rechtshaid and Justin Raisen, who helmed the entirety of Night Time, My Time, and has gone back and forth with French DJ Gesaffelstein about finding some studio time for the new project. Last March, Ferreira also began collaborating with Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes of the iconic Scottish alt-rock group Primal Scream, and now describes Gillespie as a new mentor whom she communicated with throughout her tour.
“The reason I like working with them is because there’s absolutely no pressure,” she says of Innes and Gillespie, the latter of whom served as the drummer of Jesus and Mary Chain in the 1980’s. “It’s nice to walk in somewhere and they’re not like, ‘Okay, your label is harassing me about this and that.’ I set it up without anyone else involved, so we just sit and write in a room and there’s no pressure. It’s also just really cool talking to [Gillespie]! Jesus and Mary Chain is one of my favorite bands ever, so at first I was a little nervous. It’s really nice to meet with someone and not be disappointed by it, to have them meet every expectation.”

On split with manager:
Quote:
Ferreira says that she is currently managing herself and is “waiting for a manager” to join her team, after amicably splitting with Carter earlier this year.
“Troy’s a great manager, but I think we both had different stuff in mind for me,” Ferreira explains. “He’s a powerhouse, and I really need someone who can travel with me and be there for the whole thing. He’s so great at what he does, so there was no falling out or anything like that. It just wasn’t really making sense for either of us, I think. … It was just needing someone to be there full-time. But there’s no bad blood whatsoever.”
