Sky Ferreira is finally dropping new music. Back in 2013, the singer’s label stopped funding her music, unhappy with the lo-fi, grunge-pop direction she was going in. What’s more: the contract meant she couldn’t release any music elsewhere, under any other name, for 10 years. Though she released a couple of singles via the label in the decade since – 2019’s “Downhill Lullaby” and 2022’s “Don’t Forget” – she was ultimately dropped in 2023, losing the rights to her previous music. Now, she’s releasing “Leash”, which will be released via A24’s music imprint, for their film Babygirl this Thursday. Speaking to Vogue about the song and her relationship with her ex-label, Ferreira said she’s “excited to put out new music and have full control over the process.” Free Sky forever.

Oxford Dictionary’s word of the year? Brain rot. Are you holding space for the chip shop diva? What about the solo polyamorous hijabi amputee? Can you define the word “skibidi”? Or know who the Rizzler is? Congrats, you’ve probably got brain rot. According to the University of Oxford, the phrase’s usage increased 230% in the past year, and is defined as “the supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as a result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging.” The phrase feels like a fitting diagnosis and summary of a year spent in global turmoil, constantly glued to our phones.
