Sky Ferreira says she's "in a good place creatively" and in life, telling fans in an Instagram note on Monday she's been hard at work on new material.

While she noted she is jugging "several other projects," she acknowledged her relative silence regarding new music, which she said she hopes to be putting out soon.

She also suggested perhaps part of the reason for delay might have been out of her hands. "I was genuinely stuck at the mercy of other people before," she said before revealing, "No matter how hard I tried, it was beyond me. I couldn't say anything because of the possibility that it would make things worse ... It has been [genuinely] tasking on my soul [and] so frustrating."

Ultimately, Ferreira says she "stuck to my guns" and seems to have ended some of her professional relationships, explaining that she "didn't wait this long to put out something that meets the bare minimum."

Although there's no explicit release date for anything, those eagerly awaiting the followup to 2013's Night Time, My Time should definitely be encouraged.

See Ferreira's post below.

I have been very quiet about what's going on with my music for a few reasons. Mostly it's because I've been working on it. I have been working on several other projects. I'm very excited about it all. I was genuinely stuck at the mercy of other people before (for almost years at this point).No matter how hard I tried,it was beyond me.I couldn't say anything because of the possibility that it would make things worse. Being silent or "politically correct" wasn't much help either. It felt way worse tbh. It has been genuine tasking on my soul & so frustrating. I stuck to my guns & that makes the process a lot longer than you would expect it to. There are so many factors to it all that would be silly to get into. I didn't wait this long to put out something that meets the bare minimum for some.GOD BLESS a majority of those people are now out of my way & those problems are being fixed. For the first time in a very long time I have a support system to help me (music wise). It's only up from here. I'm starting to be in a good place creatively/overall & I'm very excited to put out new stuff & I can't promise that you'll like it ~~everyone is different~~BUT I can promise that anything I put out myself is & will be whole hearted & 100000000 dedication. I am planning on making something and putting out something soon. 💙💙💙💙💙💙💙 xoxoxoxoxxx ****Also I gotta point out something: I don't know why this happens every time I make a record after a decade (yoinks) of doing this because...I MAKE POP MUSIC?!?? It's not THAT complicated?
