She’s only 21, but Sky Ferreira finally arrives with her much-delayed debut album, “Night time, My Time” which is a collection of
grungy pop songs retelling the personal tales of ordinary issues of love,
heartbreak and identity.
Night Time, My Time sees
Ferreira experimenting with a grunge-worship sound that says goodbye to the Dev
Hynes’ production of her last single “Everything is embarrassing”, which was a
blippy pop song. In its place we see Sky Ferreira pushing her soft raspy vocals
towards a more powerful live experience and drawing her attitude from past
female pop icons, think Debbie Harry.
The production, thanks to Grammy-winning
producer Ariel Rechtshaid, effortlessly fuses 80s motifs of vocal hooks, video
game samples and tinkering synth melodies. (Love in Stereo, I Blame myself).
“Nobody asked me” sees Sky demonstrate her confidence as a singer, whilst
singing over grainy and distorted guitar samples. The track “24 Hours” is a
beautiful 80s disco party starter that could give 1984 Madonna a run for her
money, the song sees Ferreira croon over a heavy-synth instrumental. Night
Time, My Time enhances the singer’s immaculate style and versatility with
electro-pop dreamwaves and unadulterated harmonies and lyrics.
Night Time, My
Time definitely takes the listener on a departure from the pop roots Sky’s known
for towards a more natural, coarse sound. Sky Ferriera is the anti-pop star
that is a pop star. Pop music needs more people like this.
