SUKI WATERHOUSE SHARES NEW SONG “TO LOVE”

Multitalented British vocalist and songwriter Suki Waterhouse unveils a new track, “To Love,” today—listen and watch the visualizer here. The new song was produced by Jules Apollinaire and Natalie Findlay of the duo TTRRUUCES, who produced Suki’s hit single “Good Looking,” and mixed by Alan Moulder (Beach House, Interpol, Wet Leg).

Suki recently wrapped her Coolest Place in the World Tour, a run of North American headline dates with sold-out stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and more. The tour celebrated the release of her Milk Teeth EP—which features songs from Suki’s early career—and her Brad Cook-produced (The War On Drugs, Bon Iver) debut album, I Can’t Let Go, both released in 2022 via Sub Pop.

Additionally, Suki went on a North American tour with Father John Misty in 2022 following the release of I Can’t Let Go, which included stops at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheater, Los Angeles’ Hollywood Forever Cemetery, New York’s Radio City Music Hall and more.

Suki also stars as Karen Sirko in “Daisy Jones & The Six,” the new Amazon television miniseries based on the popular book by Taylor Jenkins Reid premiering today.

Growing up in London, multitalented actress, model and musician Suki Waterhouse gravitated toward music at an early age, finding inspiration in the likes of Alanis Morisette, Missy Elliott, Oasis and more. She initially teased her pivot to music with a series of singles, generating nearly 20 million total streams independently, with critical acclaim from NYLON, DuJour, Lemonade Magazine and more. In 2022, her song “Good Looking” went viral on TikTok and peaked at #1 on Spotify’s Viral USA Chart, accumulating more than 700 thousand streams daily across Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Music at its peak. That same year, Suki unveiled her debut album, I Can’t Let Go, and a follow up EP, Milk Teeth, via Sub Pop to critical acclaim, toured the world over and shared new music, such as, “Nostalgia,” which arrived alongside a video directed by Émilie Richard-Froozan.

DEBBY FRIDAY Shares New Track “HOT LOVE”

Today, DEBBY FRIDAY shares the propulsive, bass-heavy electro single “HOT LOVE,” a new offering from GOOD LUCK, her full-length debut, out Friday, March 24th, worldwide from Sub Pop.

FRIDAY offers this of the single, “The song itself is about the karma of relationships. You meet someone, and you idealize them, you project onto them, and they do the same to you, and it’s all fun and games until it isn’t. This way of loving is so intoxicating and combustible and so hot it burns you right up.”
 
DEBBY FRIDAY’s previously announced international headlining tour dates and festival appearances supporting GOOD LUCK will begin later this month, with multiple performances at SXSW in Austin, TX March 16th-17th. Her tour schedule now runs through Friday, May 12th in Manchester, UK at The White Hotel. Additional live dates will be announced soon.

Her upcoming short film GOOD LUCK is a pseudo-autobiographical tale, largely drawn from FRIDAY’s own life and experiences growing up as a zillenial anti-heroine. A surrealist reflection on the tumultuous whirlwind that is the end of adolescence and the emotionality of youth, GOOD LUCK is co-directed by FRIDAY and Nathan De Paz Habib (Chino Amobi’s Eroica, and The Bicycle).

GOOD LUCK is available now to preorder from Sub Pop. LP preorders from megamart.subpop.com, select independent stores in North Americathe U.K., and E.U., will receive the limited Loser edition on metallic silver vinyl (while supplies last).

SO HARD TO TELL” and “I GOT IT” have earned DEBBY FRIDAY early praise from the likes of New York TimesPitchforkNPR MusicThe FADERBillboard, Nylon, FLOOD, Cool Hunting, Brooklyn Vegan, StereogumTrebleDorkDIYCLASHOur Culture and more.
 
What people are saying about DEBBY FRIDAY:
“An explosive, pounding, relentlessly calisthenic dance-floor banger with attitude to spare. A pulsating beat flickers like a strobe light as Friday and Chris Vargas of the duo Pelada, appearing here as Uñas, trade braggadocious bilingual verses. ‘Let mama give you what you need,’ Friday shrieks before calmly assuring, ‘I got it.’” [“I GOT IT”] - New York Times
 
“In contrast to the pulse-quickening tempos and noisy synths of her past music, her production is deft and graceful, with a skipping beat and cascading backing vocals. ‘Lady Friday/All you do is rеbel,’ Friday chastises herself—tough talk against a fragile, gorgeous sound.” [“SO HARD TO TELL”/ “Best New Track”] - Pitchfork
 
“One of the young year’s most audacious bangers” [“SO HARD TO TELL”] - Billboard
 
“Intoxicating…” [“SO HARD TO TELL”] - Stereogum
 
“Hyperpop can sometimes come off as abrasive but in the hands of Canadian singer DEBBY FRIDAY it’s soulful, even elegant.” [“SO HARD TO TELL”] -  NYLON
 
“A graceful entrance into yet another territory: lush R&B”[“SO HARD TO TELL”] - NPR Music
 
“If you’ve ever deep-dived into Debby Friday’s discography, you’ll know she slammed this single into left field, but man is it a hit! This edgy extraordinaire has taken a dip into the darkside via falsetto pop.”  ” [“SO HARD TO TELL”] - MTV
 
“Friday strikes a remarkable balance on her forthcoming debut LP, GOOD LUCK: between the boisterous and the tranquil, the erudite and the crass, a packed dancefloor and quiet isolation. Featuring unequivocal bangers like “I Got It,” “Pluto Baby,” and “Heartbreakerrr,” Debby Friday is destined for bigger stages in 2023 (“15 Artists to Watch in 2023”).” - SPIN
 
About DEBBY FRIDAY’S GOOD LUCK:
The usual boom-and-bust cycles of growing up – breaking down, gathering the strength to get up, fumbling hard, doing it all over again - can feel unmooring, to say the least, but, and according to DEBBY FRIDAY, its tragedies and glories need savoring. Losing illusions, gaining expectations; getting deep into the private, soupy kaleidoscope of what’s possible and what’s futile – GOOD LUCK, her debut, and supernovic, full-length album, is built on welcoming the journey’s complicated drops and mountain highs with something more like grace.

Nigerian-born, then an emigré to bits of Canada - from Montreal to Vancouver to Toronto - DEBBY FRIDAY’s roamings through space and time really began when the sun fell. Nightlife was her emancipation from the toughness of home life, and she fell into it, body and soul, totally seduced. Raves til sunrise; house music in unknown basements and warehouses – the lure of the party was the perfect escape. “I was like a little club rat,” she laughs. Her adoration of the world that it opened for her came in “almost in a sensual way (read more at Sub Pop).
