Sinatra asked Ferreira about some comments she’s made in the past about “not being allowed to do what you wanted to do, and feeling trapped” when it comes to releasing new music. Ferreira responded by noting that, “In the music industry, everyone’s trying to mold you,” adding that, especially when she was younger, she frequently found herself “cornered in situations” where she had to do things she wasn’t interested in.
The internet and modeling allowed Ferreira to secure some kind of independence from the music industry machine, quipping at one point, “[T]hey didn’t like that I got around them, and it didn’t make them look very good, to have a 21-year-old beat you at your own game publicly.” But even as she got older and tried to complete her, she felt like people in the industry were trying to shape and influence her career as if she was still a kid.
“You’re set up in situations to seem difficult, but also, what does that even mean?” Ferreira said. “Just that you’re not willing to be completely controlled. And it’s funny how these people think. It’s as if you’re ungrateful, as if you’re not working for it. They’re like, ‘Don’t you know how lucky you are? There’s another one of you in line.’ And I’m like, ‘Okay, well go do it with them then.’”
Sky Ferreira is right.🇧🇷✨
