Sky Ferreira for Dazed Magazine, talks Masochism and more
On Masochism:
Quote:
Ferreira’s second album is called Masochism, and it’s due for release in the summer. Such is her ‘see it, say it’ approach, the title has been floating around online for aeons, though it becomes clear during the course of our chat that she’s actually still recording it. Mike Dean is the record’s executive producer, and longtime collaborator Ariel Rechtshaid is also on board, as is Rahki, who’s worked with Kendrick Lamar.
“I started writing the lyrics two years ago when I was touring, and that’s when the name (Masochism) came to me,” she reveals. “The way I look at it, it’s about going from one thing to another. I’ve learned a lot about myself and my own self-value. Before, in order to feel good about anything there had to be some kind of struggle, a painful way to get to it, otherwise I felt I didn’t really deserve it. Which is a really ****ed up way of thinking.”
“I became a bit of a masochist in every single way – for a while it was like, ‘If it doesn’t hurt then it’s not real.’ That is honestly how I felt. I’m still in the thick of everything changing, but change, like, sucks! It’s good in the long run, but it’s ****ing weird and uncomfortable. When I feel like I’ve reached the point where I’m somewhat comfortable with it, that’s when the album ends.”

In December, she even took to Twitter to wisecrack about the delay – the album will be about a year later than expected if it arrives in the summer – asking fans whose record they think will come out first: hers or Frank Ocean’s. “(He) is an artist I truly relate to in terms of his mentality, he’s not going to put something out unless he wants to,” she enthuses. “It’s like, do people wanna hear an album that’s good (and on time) or do they want to hear an actual Frank Ocean album? I want to hear something that’s 100 per cent Frank Ocean for real. I don’t care when it comes out.” Naturally, it’s not just Ocean she’s talking about.

Quote:
“When I was putting out Night Time, My Time, I had to fight against a lot of ****,” she contextualises. “The odds were against me. It was pretty much set up to fail: it wasn’t promoted and some people wanted a selling point for me – what box (to put me in) or something. I was set up for disappointment and I really fought that. What’s different this time is I don’t have to battle it out.”
A new track preempting Masochism will be doing the rounds as you’re reading this. Then there’s Ferreira’s duet with Bobby Gillespie, from Primal Scream’s March-slated new album Chaosmosis. It’s called “Where the Light Gets in”. The video clip looks sexy and glamorous, all flashing lights, great tailoring and that feeling you get when drugs kick in.
“I never made an effort to make myself look a little more, like, together,” says Ferreira. “More acceptable in certain situations.” It would explain why there’s love from idols of the rock world, and a creative exchange with them. If pop strives for perfection, rock has to look the word up. You choose freedom or whacking strong filter. There’s no question Ferreira is a free spirit.

A few days before our meeting, Ferreira took to Instagram to call out trolls who target young women in the public eye, tagging Alice Glass, Grimes, Selena Gomez, Lana Del Rey and Azealia Banks in a call-to-arms against the chauvinistic **** that is a depressing reality for so many female musicians on social media.
“It’s like a ‘she’s asking for it’ mentality,” says Ferreira of the abuse she’s encountered. “**** you! It doesn’t give guys the right to sexually harass or abuse me. It’s not OK for you to say anything and there’s no consequence.”
“The whole reason I made an Instagram account was to stay connected without a filter. I do like reading my comments, but when the majority are flooded by ******** it kind of defeats things. It makes the other stuff feel rare. That’s the sad thing – that people won’t get me the way I get me. I am putting myself out there. All the way. But there’s a line – I’m not an object that you own.”

She's really looking like her old self !
In a way more mature but also younger, I don't know it's so weird.
I think she gained some weight cause she lost the drugged up look a bit.
Anyways, she looks beautiful and I'm ready for this album.

Not that last sentence being so true. I want to get as much success as possible but I also want to keep her a little secret of mine, you know?
