Night Time, My Time

Night Time, My Time is the debut studio album by American singer and songwriter Sky Ferreira, released on October 29, 2013 by Capitol Records. The album was first scheduled for a release in 2011, following 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 1980s pop music, 1990s 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 "24 Hours" and "Boys" as free digital promotional singles, and although it was not released as a single, a music video was filmed for the album's title track.
