Romance is a funny old game. One minute, you\u2019ll be in the trenches of heartbreak, swearing off love forever. The next, you\u2019re down bad for someone new and do a full 180 into living in a swoony movie in your head. Suki Waterhouse<\/a>\u2019s third album, \u2018Loveland\u2019, captures some of the feelings of that latter experience, mining her relationships and infatuations past and present to build a world you\u2019ll want to immerse yourself in whether you\u2019re coupled up, on the hunt or convinced you\u2019re destined to be alone.<\/p>\n

\u201cPicture this, it\u2019s innocent \/ \u2018Cause I haven\u2019t even held your hand yet \/ Do you know that you\u2019ve been coming up in my dreams?\u201d she asks over the Strokes<\/a>-y guitars of \u2018Almost\u2019, diving into a fantasy that plays out in her head alone. \u2018Jukebox\u2019, one of the album\u2019s most fun, strutting songs, heads on a night out, while the slower, softer \u2018Notting Hill\u2019 turns its sights not to a beau, but to Waterhouse\u2019s old flat in the titular area of London, and her formative experiences that hinged around it.<\/p>\n

Falling in love often comes with a sense of letting go of control, but Waterhouse maintains her power throughout \u2018Loveland\u2019. On \u2018Any Man\u2019, she\u2019s supremely confident, boasting about the sway she holds over the opposite sex. \u201cGuess I should admit I\u2019ll be in my prime until I die,\u201d she purrs before her killer claim: \u201cI can have any man at all \/ Got a special touch, I\u2019m not doing much \/ Just second nature, baby\u201d. As soon as that track finishes, she veers course, \u2018Happy With It\u2019 finding her unsatisfied with a partner, but refusing to stay in something that doesn\u2019t serve her. \u201cIs this what happiness is? \/ If this is it, then I quit\u201d, she sadly shrugs.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a natural split between the songs on the record \u2013 those that fit that cinematic, head-spinning feeling of falling in love, and others that pay tribute to far more mundane things. \u2018Weirdo\u2019 captures the ache of being away from your partner, longing for the boring everyday things that you might usually take for granted (\u201cI\u2019m gonna clean your shirts and press them down \/ Gonna pour your favourite liquor\u201d). It\u2019s a gorgeous piece of writing that helps Waterhouse capture another side of her own love story.<\/p>\n

Since releasing her debut album \u2018I Can\u2019t Let Go\u2019 in 2022, Waterhouse has quietly become one of modern alt-pop\u2019s most consistent and brilliant artists, able to distil heady feelings into songs that move you and make you want to move. That likely played a part in her securing a Mick Fleetwood<\/a> feature on the country swing of \u2018Morals\u2019, and \u2018Loveland\u2019 as a whole maintains that sense of an artist who\u2019s still growing but doing so in such compelling, self-assured fashion. No matter where you\u2019re at in your love life right now, Waterhouse is giving us plenty to fall head over heels with.<\/p>\n
