''Night Time, My Time'' is the debut studio album by American singer-songwriter Sky Ferreira, released on October 29, 2013 by Capitol Records. The album was first scheduled for a release in 2011, after the singles "17", "One" and "Obsession". However, they became commercial failures and caused her label to postpone the effort repeatedly. As a result, many recording sessions were held for the album; some of which went towards two extended plays (EP) ''As If!'' (2011) and ''Ghost'' (2012). The final result includes work from Ferreira and producers including Ariel Rechtshaid, Justin Raisen, and Dan Nigro, which marks a departure from her previously released material. Musically, it explores 80s pop music, 90s grunge and various styles of rock. Its lyrics convey different feelings, including failure, love and anger. The album cover, shot by film director Gaspar Noé, portrays a topless Ferreira in a shower. ''Night Time, My Time'' received positive reviews from music critics, who praised its sound; it has been recognized by numerous works as one of 2013's best albums. It was a modest success commercially; it debuted on the US ''Billboard'' 200 at number 45 and on the Australian Albums Chart at number 40. ''Night Time, My Time'' was preceded by the digital release of its lead single "You're Not the One", accompanied by a music video. Capitol Records also issued "Boys" as a free digital promotional single, and although it was not released as a single, a music video was filmed for the album's title track. ==Background and development== After releasing the tracks "17", "One", and "Obsession", Ferreira announced that her debut studio album would be released on January 11, 2011. However, Ferreira's budget was dramatically reduced which led to the cancellation of the record; such release was substituted with the extended play (EP) ''As If!'', which was released on March 22, 2011. In November 2011, Ferreira announced that her debut studio album would be released in 2012, with a lead single planned to precede its release that February. The following month, she revealed that she was currently in the studio, working in her debut album with Jon Brion throughout 2012, and "possibly" with Shirley Manson and Greg Kurstin. In early 2012, Ferreira renamed the LP ''Wild at Heart'', and confirmed "24 Hours" and "Swamp Girl" would be included in it. Another song, entitled "Lost in My Bedroom", surfaced online that March. After releasing the music video for the track "Red Lips" in June, she stated that she had renamed the record once again, changing its title to ''I'm Not Alright''. The album was also briefly referred to as ''I Will''. Ferreira began working with Ariel Rechtshaid, whom she contacted and met after Rechtshaid had heard "One" and subsequently 'liked' Ferreira's Facebook page. After her single "Everything is Embarrassing" unexpectedly became popular on indie-oriented music blogs, Ferreira released another EP, ''Ghost'', on October 16, 2012.〔〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ghost - EP by Sky Ferreira )〕 In early 2013, Ferreira intended to release an album composed of a mixture of tracks she had written and recorded with Brion and those she had written and recorded with Rechtshaid.〔 After the album experienced more delays, Ferreira decided to keep recording with Rechtshaid and co-producer Justin Raisen in order to make the album more cohesive in sound, dropping the Brion-produced tracks from the record.〔 After her record label refused to fund the album's recording sessions any further, Ferreira did so herself, with money she had earned from her modeling career to cover the costs of recording and equipment for these sessions.〔 A majority of the album's content was completely recorded, mixed, and mastered in just a few weeks during August 2013.〔 On August 29, 2013, Ferreira posted a photograph on her Facebook page indicating that the record was complete. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Night Time, My Time」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
