Sky Ferreira - Everything Is Embarrassing

Pastel lights glow so you know it's indie

Sky Ferreira is many things. Model, actress, singer, and by society's standards, just all around talented person. She's had a storied past in all 3 of those categories and has really been on her career grind ever since she was a kid. Hell, she even spent most of her childhood around one of her her best friends, Michael Jackson...

       Is Terry Richardson racist against backgrounds, in that he only photographs on ones that are white? More at 5 PM, only on Channel 4.

She wears her musical influences on her arm. From the likes of David Bowie, Elton John, Michael Jackson, Madonna, Gwen Stefani, and the Runaways as well as others I won't list because then you'd be 100% sure I just got this off of Wikipedia rather than 99%. Regardless of the apparent influences, it's all sort of an amalgamation of style and sound without ever looking or sounding like a rip-off or even an homage to them. So far, she's had 2 EP's, As If! (2011) as well as Ghost (2012) which this particular track hails from. She's geared to release her debut album in 2013, entitled I'm Not Alright. (Is it me or is self-aware generations disillusionment rubbing off on everything since Girls got popular? You're not fucking Hemingway, people.)

Produced by Dev Hynes & Ariel Rechtshaid, "Everything Is Embarrasing" is paints a singular voice for Sky Ferreira, with its atmospheric dream-pop production and airy vocals about insecurity in its most hipsterish ironic and forward form. Incredibly melodramatic and dreamy, this song just never seems to get on your nerves. A catchy but still forward thinking pop record that doesn't mask itself under anything it doesn't tell you its masking itself under. (Wut?) She's tried a lot of styles through her musical exploration, from bubblegum pop to the haze of electronic boom bap, and for the most part they've all worked for her, becoming malleable under her deft hands. But she's not completely there, only on the precipice of super-stardom. In the internet age, it's easier than ever to become famous and still keep your artistic integrity and voice. This song seems a step in that direction, let's just hope she ultimately goes that route.

Moore hipster then u evr will b.
