    Ghost demonstrates well enough Ferreira's versatility, certainly her stylishness, but even more than those, it shows her empathy.

    All together, it's just another round of throwing ideas at the wall. Everything sticks, more or less. But for how long?

    Ferreira follows with a smörgåsbord of styles taking in electro-pop, country torch song, grunge and urban crossover pop.

    While all of the songs on the Ghost are good, the EP's identity crises will keep pulling listeners out of the experience.

    It's wildly diverse, but there's a lightness and unobtrusiveness to each song that mirrors her airy delivery while hinting at even more untapped potential.

    There's something inherently adolescent about an EP that veers sharply from genre to genre, each song an island, completely separate from those that precede and those that follow.

    This particular project from Sky Ferreira shows us how different she is from other pop, rock, and electronic artists. She incorporates different elements from all 3 of these genres, with an indie vibe. One of the EPs songs - entitled 'Everything Is Embarassing', is by far the greatest song on this project, followed by the alternative ballad 'Ghost'. Overall, the EP is nearly perfect. But, the mix of electronic/synthpop & rock/indie makes the EP very difficult to let "sink in", but other than that; this is an AMAZING collection of electronic, rock, and pop music. Sky Ferreira is a VERY talented artist with a very unique sound - this EP definitely solidifies that statement.    … Full Review »
