Praise Allah! Sky Ferreira’s first single “17″ is finally here!

Back in January I did a new artist on post on the next big thing, Sky Ferreira, a wild 17-year-old singer-songwriter who just happens to be the protege of Swedish hitmakers Bloodshy & Avant.

Now after a little wait Sky has unleashed her first single onto the world in the autobiographical “17″, a startlingly accurate documentation on today’s underage teens and all the craziness that they get up to when they’re out and about sneaking into clubs and partying with older men.

Been there done that!

Along with the brilliant song is it’s slightly disturbing (and uber hipster) music video, thrusting Sky effortlessly into the role of a modern day Lolita as she saunters around L.A. and proves that she’s the ultimate jail bait by banging some older guy back at her place.

After signing to EMI I was a little worried that Sky was going to get too commercial with her debut album, but my fears have been put to rest after seeing that she’s kept a genuince alternative edge and feel to her first single and video.

Bradl over at the MuuMuse blog really hit the nail on the head by comparing this to a modern day pop version of Fiona Apples fantastic (and controversial) “Criminal”, and I couldn’t agree more.

Check out the music video below, and look out for Sky’s album later this year. Expect production from Greg Kurstin, Bloodshy & Avant, Neon Hitch, Dallas Austin, Paul Epworth and many more.

    i never said i wouldn’t buy it when available, so don’t falsely accuse me.

    and i think it’s a great first single, so why don’t you go and find some taste in music.

    I’ve decided anytime something great leaks out or comes up in the music, Prophet should begin with “PRAISE ALLAH!” hahaha its clearly working wonders for the comment section and probably attracting new readers! how great!

    I’m interested in this girl and am excited to see what she brings to the table. I am wondering what her angle is…is she going to be indie and obscure? or try her best to break into the mainstream?

    Where are her parents is right..goodness! Love the song but damn girl have some class..I went out at 17 too but I kept it on the DL and still had mad fun..I just wasn’t flaunting it to the whole world..I understand she’s trying to be edgy and shit but she needs to rethink what she is really saying to young girls by promoting this? I sure wouldn’t want my daughter acting this way.
