For those who are not yet familiar with the name Freya Skye, be prepared to learn it in the coming months. At just sixteen years old, the British teen has already starred in the hit Disney Channel film “Zombies 4: Dawn of the Vampires” and released eight singles as a part of Hollywood Records.
Skye’s most recent single, “Gold’s Gone,” was released in April of this year and was performed multiple times while on the Descendants/Zombies: Worlds Collide Tour this past summer. One of the most notable writers on this song is Annie Schindel, a songwriter most known for her work alongside Chappell Roan on “Red Wine Supernova” and Gracie Abrams on “Barely Breathing.” The pop elements that these songs are known for can certainly be heard in Skye’s own music as well as in her music video.
The overall feeling of “Gold’s Gone” is of a classic pop song; it’s catchy, has relatable lyrics throughout, and is a perfect blend of being vulnerable and upbeat. Skye’s voice is also impressive in the song with her vocals being at their best during the bridge. In all, the song demonstrates a strong beginning for the young artist, as her career is bound to take off over the coming months with the ever growing popularity of pop music.
Evidently, Skye is set to become even more successful in her musical endeavors. As of mid-October of this year, “Gold’s Gone” has over six million streams on Spotify alone, showcasing the demand for her music as she releases her own songs, alongside being featured on multiple Zombies tracks. Her career is already off to a great start, and there is no doubt that her own music will skyrocket in popularity throughout the coming year.
