Sky Ferreira is spreading season’s greetings…

The 22-year-old part-Brazilian singer-songwriter, who recently previewed new single “Guardian,” has released a new music video for her Japanese Christmas-themed song “Omanko” just in time for the holidays.

The lo-fi clip, directed by Ferreira’s boyfriend Zachary Cole Smith of rock band DIIV, features silly homemade videos of Ferreira spliced with footage of her onstage performances.

“The Omanko video was just ton of footage @DIIV & I made (originally without any intention of making anything out of it).U know…for fun?!” Ferreira wrote in a tweet on Saturday (Dec. 20).

“Omanko” is from Ferreira’s debut album, Night Time, My Time, which was released in late 2013 on Capitol Records. She is currently working on her second album with Primal Scream‘s Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes.

Ferreira shared the “Omanko” video through Twitter over the weekend and then later wrote that she originally set out to make “official videos for most of the songs on the record,” but didn’t get the budget she needed from her representatives.

“It’s a shame. Because labels/managers etc don’t think it’s necessary unless it’s a single,” Ferreira tweeted.

Ferreira, who released her debut album Night Time, My Time in late 2013, performed “Guardian” at a recent show at Santa Ana, California’s Observatory.

The song showcases how far Ferreira’s live vocals have come since she hit the scene.

“I wanna be free from the dark that lives deep inside me,” sings Ferreira, projecting like Florence Welch and emoting like Lorde.

There’s plenty of room for a commanding vocal performance here, with little more than a dramatic drum march and distant, twinkling synthesizer to guide the song along. The Santa Ana Bars can help you access your party side.

Back on Nov. 21, Billboard reported that Ferreira is currently working on her new album with Primal Scream‘s Bobby Gillespie and Andrew Innes.
