“Everything Is Embarrassing,” Sky Ferreira (Ghost, 2012, Capitol?)

This song is phenomenal and stays everywhere you need it to be, but this video is going to be the takeaway from it, because Sky is magnetic and entrancing and a star.

Oh, and also because people are going to take it and style her as the nymphet dudes want to fuck.

Idolator’s Carl Williott:

Sky frequently writhes and makes puppy-dog eyes at the camera, but the real star is that pair of dark, pouty lips. We haven’t seen such a camera-ready pair of smackers in a music video since, well, you-know-who.

“you-know-who” is linked to Idolator’s Lana Del Rey tag. Also, JESUS.

Global Grind’s D.J. Jean:

“Baby if you let me be your lover, baby if you tried, then I would not bother…” What guy wouldn’t want to hear those words from the 20-year-old Sky Ferreira?

Ned Hepburn at Death and Taxes, in a post headlined “Sky Ferreira loves the 80s; hates clothes in new video for ‘Everything Is Embarrassing’”:

Sky Ferreira has been kicking around the Los Angeles indie scene for a few years now and, like anyone with a certain amount of drive and talent, she has been able to carve out a niche. Her video for “Everything Is Embarrassing” features her cavorting atop of a building in black and white looking very sexy in that “oh man, all my clothes are so bagggyyyyyyy does anyone have a down blanket I can be wrapped innnnnn” kind of way.

Its the sort of thing that you knew was bound to be popular since the doctor spun Lana Del Rey around in the doctor’s chair post lip surgery, slowly unwrapping the bandages from her face, before spinning her around to face the mirror. “Behold, Lana Del Rey!” he said and since then major labels have been clamoring for pop singers that don’t look like pop singers because GOD FUCKING KNOWS we’re stuck in a major label loop of talent.

SPIN’s post is headlined: “Sky Ferreira Makes Playground Love in ‘Everything Is Embarrassing’.” (Which, no.) Nicole Sia writes:

Sky Ferreira aimed for the feels with her shimmery Blood Orange-penned bleeder “Everything Is Embarrassing,” but the video is pointed squarely at the crotch (and, by extension, the crotch points back).

Now that we have determined that Sky Ferreira has made a video for a song that inadvertently proves the truth of her title…
