The singer shared the news on her Instagram and was met with a mixed reception.

The post, which has over 30,000 likes, left many fans divided over the announcement. The official Bratz page commented: “OMG BESTIE WHAT?!” followed by a crying emoji, whilst another use commented: “Sky Ferreira world domination.”

However, many fans were also sharing their frustrations over a lack of new material by the superstar. One person wrote: “Girl you’ve been touring the same album for 10 years”, and another person commented: “Girl how about you drop an album before these dates we’re starving”.

Sky, who last performed in the UK at the 2022 Meltdown Festival, released her latest single “Don’t Forget” last year. The track, which has over 3 million streams on Spotify, will be included on her up-coming sophomore album, Masochism. Her 2019 single, titled “Downhill Lullaby”, will also be part of the anticipated record.

Listen to “Don’t Forget”, below.

Sky’s last and only album was released over a decade ago. The project, Night Time, My Time, showcases Sky’s strength as an indie pop-rockstar and features 1990’s grunge and 80’s pop elements. The record, which is featured in many media publication’s best album lists of 2013, debuted at number 73 on the UK Albums Chart. Hits from the album include “Boys”, “I Blame Myself” and “You’re Not The One.”

The musician and model has been open about her struggles with delays with new material. Earlier this year, Sky expressed her frustrations on the subject and took to her Instagram stories to explain the hold-up. She said: “Being ‘difficult’ or ‘high strung’ doesn’t give people the right to damage & stall my career. I am in a difficult situation & I have to be ‘difficult’ to get through it. I have to protect my work & myself somehow? It’s not okay. If I’m not allowed to say something without consequence & the people who are supposed to do their job refuse to look out for me… How am I not going to be ‘difficult’?!?”

Fans of the singer have also expressed their feelings, with ‘Free Sky Ferreira’ banners flying over Capitol Records in Los Angeles.

Whilst fans will have to be patient for a little while longer for a new album, they can see her perform on her tour next year.

In a recent interview with the Guardian the singer songwriter from Los Angeles commented on how the label often used her fragility and highly publicised drug use as a means of getting their own way and exploiting her “They’d say I’m crazy, I’m mentally ill, I’m difficult, I’m unprofessional – oh, I’m a drug addict. That’s by far everyone’s go-to. Troubled women. You can do whatever you want if they’re not like, save-me troubled. It was like the label almost wanted those things to be true about me so they could exploit it and use them as ways to sell”. Interviewer Laura Snapes noted that Ferreira “doesn’t seem well” and that it was “not comfortable to witness” but later went on to say that her erratic behaviour seemed “less like the trait of an unreliable narrator than a woman who has frequently been made to doubt her own reality“.

It’s an all too familiar story in an industry that often does more to perpetuate an artists personal struggles than it does to help them. However it is at least comforting to note that Sky is beginning to emerge again, with her first single in years “Don’t Forget” being released back in May, it seems that at least some movement is being made towards her highly anticipated new album Masochism. You can check it out here:
