Takes One To Know One

I'll admit to being a tad underwhelmed by Sky Ferreira's Big Debut Single™ 'One' initially but, over the past few weeks, its nestled into my brain and set up residency there.

The Rankin-directed video is clearly pandering to those who see Ferreira as a style icon, looking like a shoot from a high-end glossy, with plenty of gratuitous hair-tossing:



A couple of days ago, a sneak preview of a glorious dubstep mix of the track by BAR9 surfaced. Utterly. Hooked.

After the video for Sky Ferreira's rather excellent '17' materialised, I assumed it was going to be her first single. Not so.

It seems the first official release from her forthcoming debut album will in fact be 'One'.

An understated mid-tempo electropop number that's certainly a change of pace from '17', the track bears the hallmarks of its producers Bloodshy & Avant.

I'm convinced that Sky is destined to make a major impression but, honestly, I don't think this track is 'commercial' enough to be the one that sets her up for the big time. Even so, it's made me even more eager to hear the album and what else she's cooked up with the saliva-inducing array of producers she's worked with.

Recently, I've become a little obsessed with The Bloody Beetroots' track 'F*cked From Above 1985' that features Sky on vocals:
