It looks like we’ll be hearing new music from Sky Ferreira sometime very soon. Fans have been waiting for a follow up to 2013’s Night Time, My Time, and although the singer had previously stated it would be released in 2015, it is yet to eventuate.
Now, Ferreira has taken to Instagram to explain that the album, titled Masochist is on its way. She goes on to explain her fear of compromising on the finished product, while referencing struggles with mental and physical health.
“I know I’ve been really vague about my music so I appreciate the patience from some of you,” the singer began. “I’ve been working on it the whole time & in 2016 you will hear it. I refuse to put out something that isn’t honest. It’s not something that I can force out. If I was to do it any sooner I either would have been compromising myself & anyone listening. I would have had to put out music that wasn’t true or a message I would not want to put out into the universe.”
Ferreira continued,”As personal as my music is…the thing that lasts longer than I ever will is my actual “work”. I get the rare opportunity to have people listen & connect to it.I personally think with that comes a responsibility of making something that’s still true to me but still can somehow make someone feel better or less lonely. I can’t do that lying through my teeth.Needs to be the pretty/ugly/everything/nothing. For me, music (as a listener) was the most consistent & personal thing in my life that has helped me or healed me in every situation,to some capacity. If I even have a “goal”…it is to help do that for someone.”
Sky Ferreira has previously blamed issues with her record label for pushing the release date back, along with stunting her creativity and borrowing from her ideas.
While an official release date is yet to be set for the album, hopefully we can look forward to hearing it sooner rather than later.
