“You’re Not The One” is the lead single from Sky’s forthcoming debut record Night Time, My Time, due out at the end of October. She’s been performing the song live for months now (like at her CMJ showcase at Bowery Ballroom last October), and an early version of the track hit the net by the beginning of 2013. Today, the album version finally hit iTunes. And although the studio version of the track loses the snarling intensity of the live experience, it’s still a clear winner. “You’re Not The One” is a grungy, gritty slice of fuzzy rock that further separates Sky from her electro-pop origins (gone are those synthesized, halcyon days of yore), but its that yelping, hook-filled chorus that keeps the song’s feet planted squarely in the pop world. Appropriately, the slick, Grant Singer-directed video matches the moodiness of Sky’s agitated anthem. With her oversized sunglasses, leather jacket and jagged blonde ‘do (she looks stunning, obviously), it’s almost like watching “Lucky Star”-era Madonna navigate her way through a rocky relationship inside a 1980′s teen horror flick. She’d make her idol proud too, given that this is easily Sky’s most assured video to date.
