Ghost is the second
extended play (EP) by American recording artist
Sky Ferreira, released on October 16, 2012 by
Capitol Records. It was made available in place of her frequently delayed debut
studio album, which eventually became
Night Time, My Time (2013).
Ghost represents a musical departure from Ferreira's earlier work, which explored more prominent elements of
dance-pop. She collaborated with producers including
Jon Brion,
Dev Hynes,
Greg Kurstin,
Cass McCombs, and
Ariel Rechtshaid to achieve her desired sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily
synthpop record, although it differs from her earlier work in that it sees additional influences from
acoustic and
new wave music.
