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\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<ul>\n<li><strong>READ MORE: Step right up!

That likely played a part in her securing a Mick Fleetwood 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.
