September 13, 2024
Suki Waterhouse’s music sounds like a collage of her inspirations, experiences, and emotions stitched together by honeyed vocal delivery, bright-eyed melodies, and evocative storytelling. It doubles as a mirror image of her life as a consummate creative, artist, actress, model, and mother, yet it also breaks the glass to unveil raw truth. She leans on an ever-evolving sonic palette to convey what she’s feeling—whether it be folky Americana, nineties alternative, turn-of-the-century indie, or handcrafted otherworldly pop. You’ll hear Suki’s longing in a swooning chorus, fearlessness in a crunchy chord, elation in a danceable waltz, and wonder in a soft coo befitting of a lullaby. Now, the platinum-certified songstress asserts herself as a versatile, vibrant, and vital presence on her 2024 double-LP, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin [Sub Pop].
“I finished the record in the last few months of my pregnancy and turned my living room into a home studio,” she recalls. “I stopped going to big studios and enclosed myself at home for the last two months of being pregnant, and the best thing about LA is you can call up the most incredible musicians in the world and have them in your front room in 15 minutes!”
She initially teased the record with “OMG,” “Faded,” and “My Fun,” drawing listeners into Sparklemuffin’s sticky stylistic web. “Blackout Drunk” intoxicates with its swinging handclap-laden bounce, woozy riffing, doo-wop harmonies, and chantable chorus. She sets the scene, “There’s always the guy who can’t keep his shit together on a night out. It just doesn’t need to happen! She’s furious and falling asleep next to him, but she can’t wait to wake him up and tell him all the shitty, embarrassing things that he did last night.”
Ultimately, Suki’s unapologetically being herself on the album, and it’s wonderful to hear, see, and feel.
“I just hope this can be the soundtrack to somebody’s life,” she says. “Whenever I'm making music, I always try to remember why I started writing in the first place and continue to do so. If I truly capture something pure that I’ve gone through, I know it’ll resonate with other people.”
