sky ferreira chats love, life and getting 'iced'

The UK release of Sky Ferreira's highly anticipated and long awaited debut album is finally here. Night Time, My Time positions our favourite bleached blonde as a serious pop artist, we catch up with Sky to find out more...

It's 4pm and Sky Ferreira is lighting up the camera, delicately posing on a street corner in London's Stoke Newington. Each passing car slows down, leeringly toots a horn and nearly rear ends the car in front. Sky, unimpressed, simply curls her lip into a gentle snarl and ambivalently smiles to herself. She could not care less. The singer, actress and model is surprisingly shy and serene, this is no over-excited pop starlet hopping around, seeking the centre of attention; the spotlight naturallydrifts towards Sky. Slightly burnt out from a swift trip to London from New York with barely a chance to calibrate herself following back-to-back magazine shoots, rehearsals and interviews, she becomes lively when she politely asks if she can put a playlist on. Her tracks clip from Wild Nothing and Ariel Pink to Charlotte and Serge Gainsbourg's Lemon Incest. Hazy, cerebral pop drifts from the iPod dock. It provides a sharp insight into her muses, which it becomes clear steer way outside the standard pop music palette.

Later Sky is nimbly cruising down Dalston's Kingsland Road, casually cutting an iconic silhouette. Scruffy bleached hair, a sheer black blouse, Prada sunglasses and a leather mini, this is trashy louche NYC glamour, the look naturally threaded into the pop heroine lineage
