As Suki Waterhouse reflected more on her tumultuous 20s, she channeled her reflection through a new artistic medium: music. Although Waterhouse had been quietly making her own music for several years, in 2022, she finally released her first album, "I Can't Let Go." She had to get over some worries to put out the album.
"I always had a massive amount of anxiety around, like, am I allowed to do this?" Waterhouse confessed to SSENSE. "Am I allowed to put out music? Everyone will laugh you out of the building." However, she knew that she owed it to herself to be brave. "I said to myself, 'If you don't do this right now, you're never going to do it. And you'll always f***ing hate yourself because you didn't,'" she told the Independent.
As Waterhouse explained to Vogue, the album was deeply personal, inspired by moments in her life. She was also inspired by the poetry of Ariana Reines and the music of Camera Obscura, Julie London, Fiona Apple, and Sharon Van Etten." The album was met with largely positive reviews — clearly, Waterhouse had found yet another thing she was very good at.
