Ferreira has often spoken out about differences she has had with record labels and management . Last year, she hit out at her record label for not making her debut album Night Time My Time available on vinyl. She slammed Capitol Records for "not being capable of (interested in) what they're supposed to" and said she'd produce the vinyl herself. She has also fought for more creative control from her label.

Last year, Gaga and Carter parted ways - quoting 'creative differences' at the business end of what has been a rocky publicity drive for new album ARTPOP.

Troy Carter has been reportedly frozen out of the creative direction Gaga is attempting with the new record. Carter was there from the start for Gaga. He was the man behind her initial deal with Interscope, which catapulted her to international stardom. He represents other artists such as John Legend through company Atom Factory and is seen in the industry as one of the primary reasons for Gaga's huge commercial success.

Sky Ferreira will play The Basement in London on 30 January, and will return to the UK to perform at Field Day in London on 7-8 June, 2014. For more information, visit Gigwise Gig Tickets.

Her brilliant debut album, Night Time My Time, will be released in the UK on 17 March, 2014.
