Suki Waterhouse is back with her brand-new album Loveland. The album kicks off with the lead single “Back in Love,” opening the album with a dreamy, cinematic horn section.“Happy With It” is a departure from other songs in Suki’s discography, due to it’s funky electric guitar. The sound of this track is a stark contrast from its contemplative lyrics regarding what happiness truly looks like in a relationship. With this being Suki’s third album, there is a clear growth in her songwriting. A lot of the songs focus on love, given by the name of the album, and the lyrics are descriptive, yet easy to follow.
