She has not
released her first album yet, due at the beginning of next year, but she is
already famous: for her tracks published online and for having broken a
substantial contract with a major record label. What is the Ferreira thought?
"I don’t want to be a constructed popstar".
Interviewing Sky Ferreira, the twenty-one-year old singer
who has become an It-girl in the US
before even releasing an album, certainly arouses curiosity. When she was still
a minor, she had the courage to break a contract with an important record label in the name of her
artistic freedom.
And the
American musician worked hard to get it. Her first success came thanks to the
Internet: when she was just fifteen, she was noticed by a couple of Swedish
producers, inspired by the music that the very young singer published online. Ferreira transformed into a phenomenon of the
Web, exploring the various nuances of the electro-pop and grunge rhythms,
from melodic to industrial.
The arrival of
an offer from EMI seemed to be the
realization of a dream. But, she says, "I felt like a puppet in the hands
of others and I was not happy with that. I wanted to be myself, not the usual
pop star". The break-up with the record
label, that took place less than two years since signing it, led to various delays
in the release of her first album, that should come out at the beginning of
next year at last.
