Background

In an interview with Paper magazine in 2018, Ferreira said the album was seeing frequent delays due to her being a "perfectionist".[2] Among other issues, Ferreira has expressed frustration with her label over creative control of her music and the artistic direction they want to steer her in.[3] Ferreira famously took to the internet to ask help in regaining control of her SoundCloud account which her label assumed responsibility for and changed her password to. While on a release hiatus, Ferreira has performed at music festivals, walked runways as a model, and acted in the film Baby Driver and the show Twin Peaks.

In May 2019, Ferreira released her the first single from Masochism, "Downhill Lullaby".[4] The single was followed by the release of a cover of "Voices Carry" on SoundCloud in July.[5] Ferreira formally announced her album release again during summer 2019.[6][7] In an interview with Pitchfork, Ferriera mentioned that "Downhill Lullaby" and a new song titled "Don't Forget" would both be on the record.[8] In July 2019, Ferreira premiered a song titled “Descending” during her set at Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago.[9] In October, Ferreira expressed plans to release music before the end of the decade (2010s), though no new music was released.

Composition

Ferreira has stated in interviews that the record will be produced by Ariel Rechtshaid, Justin Raisen, Mike Dean, and Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream.[10]
