Hey, I’m Lindsey Havens for Billboard News, and we are here with artist, singer-songwriter, actress, model, whatever, Suki Waterhouse.
Hi!
I feel like I need to say that’s a song title, which we will get into — you just, like, do so much.
She’s a model, actress, whatever.
Your second album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin album, I want to ask first how it was different this time compared to the making of your debut album.
The first record I made, I’d never made a record before. I’d been releasing things by myself for, like, 10 years, 8-10, years, so I didn’t have a label, I didn’t have any team. There was no sort of, like, there was nothing behind me at that point. And then I kind of went and asked a couple of people if they would sign it, and everyone said no. And then Sub Pop said yes, but I had to kind of really bang down the door. And it took like, six months of writing emails, and they said, “No, we don’t want to listen to any songs from models or actresses, whatevers.”
So it was a completely different experience this time. I’ve been able to collaborate with different people, and, you know, have, yeah, have different artists that I could call up, and a few more people wanted to get in the room with me than they did before. So it was, like, very, very different in that way.
