British singer, model, and actress Suki Waterhouse has kicked off the new year with a bang, dropping her latest single ‘OMG’ and an accompanying visually striking music video. The 32-year-old, renowned for her role as Karen Sirko in the Emmy-nominated series ‘Daisy Jones & The Six,’ took to her social media platforms in the past week to build anticipation for the release.
The track, which marks the first single from Waterhouse’s upcoming sophomore album, was dropped on Thursday, accompanied by a captivating music video directed by Émilie Richard-Froozan. In the video, Waterhouse channels the spirit of legendary French singer Édith Piaf, adorned in a vibrant red gown with drawn-on eyebrows, dancing amidst a lush greenhouse. Notably, the video also offers fans a glimpse of the singer’s growing baby bump.
The vintage-inspired video perfectly complements the track, portraying Waterhouse as a cabaret starlet or an Old Hollywood icon in mourning, traipsing around a greenhouse bursting with flowers, eventually breaking a vase in a cathartic release.
‘OMG,’ co-written by Waterhouse alongside Natalie Findlay and produced by Jules Apollinaire, took shape over a two-month period. Reflecting on the creative process behind the track to Rolling Stone, Waterhouse shared, “It’s such an anxious state when I’m trying to put together a song because you always feel like you are on the edge of something. It’s really about going against the intellect and into the instinct of the song. That’s what I find so fascinating about writing.”
The video release came a week after Waterhouse teased it on Instagram with a playful clip involving an egg, ingeniously revealing the release date. ‘OMG’ follows the success of the artist’s 2023 release, ‘To Love,’ and is expected to be a prominent feature on her forthcoming album, which will follow her debut LP, ‘I Can’t Let Go,’ released in 2022.
Beyond her musical endeavours, 2024 is shaping up to be a monumental year for Suki Waterhouse, who is anticipating the arrival of her first child with fiancé Robert Pattinson.
As we eagerly await Suki Waterhouse’s much-anticipated full-length album later this year, her latest single ‘OMG’ is now available for streaming and downloading on all major platforms. For a more immersive experience, fans can delve into the accompanying music video, accessible on YouTube. With a fan base on the rise and a portfolio expanding at a remarkable pace, brace yourselves for more updates as Waterhouse continues to weave her magic over the upcoming year.
