It’s the end of an era: The Free Sky Ferreira account is deactivating. Since 2021, the Instagram page has been advocating for the pop star’s release from her contract with Capitol Records so the long-awaited Masochism<\/a> could come out. In Nov. 2023, Ferreira was dropped by the label<\/a>, but the account persisted<\/a> to help her get back the music that the label still owned. “Sky has been free for a while,” @free.skyferreira wrote in today’s goodbye post<\/a> (which Ferreira liked), “and there’s new music coming very soon.”<\/p>\n

In 2023, the social media campaign printed postcards and put missing posters<\/a> with a QR code for their petition, flew a banner over Capitol Records<\/a>, bought a Times Square billboard<\/a>, and organized protests. The singer responded to the movement in an Instagram comment, saying, “thank you for your support & trying to help get what happened across.” The following year, Ferreira released the song “Leash<\/a>” for the A24 film Babygirl and opened up<\/a> about Capitol dropping her:<\/p>\n

It was their way of saying: \u201cYou can have fans write \u2018Free Sky\u2019 in the clouds with an airplane, but we still own you.\u201d They kept me from putting out new music for 10 years as a way of making me look like I\u2019m incapable of it, like it was my fault that I don\u2019t technically own anything I record. I was already dreading the 10-year anniversary of my album because it\u2019s sad. I should be able to celebrate something like that because as long as this album has been around, people still care about it. I\u2019m able to do a song for an A24 film after all this time because that album clearly meant something to people, and I am proud of that. But it shouldn\u2019t have to remind me of another year of being trapped in a mess that I didn\u2019t create. They want me to look responsible by dragging it out and blocking me from releasing music even after already being blocked from so many other opportunities because of them.<\/p>\n

She also has a collab with Charli XCX on the forthcoming Wuthering Heights soundtrack<\/a>.<\/p>\n
