Release Date: Friday 13 September 2024
Suki's music sounds like a collage of her inspirations, experiences, and emotions stitched together by honeyed vocal delivery, bright-eyed melodies, and evocative storytelling. It doubles as a mirror image of her life as a consummate creative, artist, actress, model, and mother, yet it also breaks the glass to unveil raw truth. She leans on an ever-evolving sonic palette to convey what she's feeling-whether it be folky Americana, nineties alternative, turn-of-the-century indie, or handcrafted otherworldly pop. Now, the platinum-certified songstress asserts herself as a versatile, vibrant, and vital presence on Memoir of a Sparklemuffin.
Suki brought this body of work to life with the album's Executive Producer Eli Hirsch, as well as Jonathan Rado (Weyes Blood, Father John Misty, Beyonce), Cook (Bon Iver, War on Drugs, Snail Mail), Greg Gonzalez (Cigarettes After Sex), Rick Nowels (James Blake, Lana del Rey), and Natalie Findlay and Jules Apollinaire of the band Ttrruuces (with whom she co-wrote "Good Looking" and "OMG").
She loosely tethered these 18 tracks to a transformative central concept represented by the Sparklemuffin spider….
"I came across the Sparklemuffin-which is wildly colored, does this razzle-dazzle dance, and its mate will cannibalize it if she doesn't approve of the dance. It's a metaphor for the dance of life we're all in. The title felt hilarious, ridiculous, and wonderful to me."
