It’s been three years since Sky Ferreira released her latest single, “Downhill Lullaby” and almost nine years since she released her iconic debut album; Night Time, My Time.
Ever since those releases, there has been outcry for Sky to release her sophomore album, Masochism. The singer announced the name way back in 2015 and it still has yet to be released.
Just when we were truly starting to wonder when she’ll finally drop the sophomore album, she announced the name of a new single, “Don’t Forget”. So what does this mean? Is Masochism finally coming out this year? What does Sky have up her sleeve? Forget all of those questions; let’s just see how good “Don’t Forget” is.
Right off the bat, the instrumental sound of the song gives off a sound that sounds like something that belongs in the 80’s. We’re off to a good start here.
Sky starts singing.. and honestly, she sounds better than ever before. Her voice reminds me of Pat Benatar in “Love Is A Battlefield”. Actually, there’s something about the song itself that reminds me of it as well.
And not only does it remind me of “Love Is A Battlefield”, it also reminds me of one of my favorite tracks on Night Time, My Time - “Heavy Metal Heart”. It has the same soul as that song and I think that’s another reason why it’s as infectious as it is.
Sky’s sound has truly grown in the nine years since she released her debut album and it shows in this track. While we don’t know the status of Masochism, this is still very promising as a single for the album.
Sky Ferreira shows that she is still as powerful and she was back in 2013 and I think it’s safe to say - she’s here to stay, and she’s here to keep us hooked on her sound.
Whatever the future is for Masochism, and if this is the start of that era, her fans will be more than ready for her new era.
