Suki Waterhouse - 'Dream Woman'
Suki Waterhouse unveils her first single of 2025, in the form of the brilliant “Dream Woman”.
Model-turned actress and singer (and winner of vampires’ hearts), Suki Waterhouse released her debut record, “I Can’t Let Go” in 2022, with her sophomore “Memoir Of A Sparklemuffin” swiftly following behind. Waterhouse shocked fans with her multi-faceted approach to her career, with the Love, Rosie antagonist possessing impressive vocals and the uncanny ability to produce rose-tinted, lush soundscapes.
Her latest release comes in the ribbon-wrapped ethereal atmosphere of “Dream Woman” that sits in the groove between Lana del Rey, Molly Burch and “Tears in The Typing Pool” by Broadcast. The cut offers itself as her first release of 2025, following on from 2024’s magnetic collaboration with the folk-rock Ashe (“Pushing Daisies”).
Honeyed-vocals detail the promise to fulfil desires, “I can be your dream woman”, where elsewhere in the track alludes to surreptitiousness and infidelity (“Is she sleeping when you call me? / In a second, I'm coming for you”). A swooning and lush composition, “Dream Woman” affords lightly-husky vocals layered amongst intermittent percussion that make for a hypnotic, irresistible concoction.
Suki’s mesmerising ballad is not too far removed from the stylings of her break-out number “Good Looking”, and points at her returning to her melancholic roots - moving away from the more folk oriented “My Fun” and “To Love”.
Grouped as a single release with a handful of other tracks (“OMG”, “My Fun”) on Spotify, “Dream Woman” is what we can only hope is the latest teaser for an upcoming third record.
The only thing absent from her discography so far is the lent vocals of her husband, Robert Pattinson, who famously sang “Let Me Sign” for 2008’s Twilight.
