Suki Waterhouse’s “My Fun” and “Faded”: Two New Songs Available Now Worldwide

Today, musician and actress Suki Waterhouse releases “My Fun” and “Faded,” a pair of sparkling new tunes that are out now worldwide on all DSPs from Sub Pop.
 
“My Fun” is an exuberant, Stones-y pop jam, while “Faded” is a sweet midtempo ballad, and each features colorful, stop motion-style animation visuals from Callum Scott-Dyson (Iron & Wine’s “Anyone’s Game”).

Callum says, “We went with a vibrant, fun, and choppy card cut stop motion animated style for these two videos, inspired by Monty Python and other great cut-out animators. I really enjoyed making them and working with Suki. The songs had a nice differentiation in vibe, so I went with super saturated and bright for ‘My Fun;’ and then a little more washed out for ‘Faded.’”
 
“My Fun” was composed by Suki Waterhouse, Natalie Findlay, and Jules Apollinaire, with lyrics by Waterhouse and Findlay, and produced by Apollinaire. “Faded” was composed by Waterhouse, Raj Jain, and Peter Labberton, with lyrics by Waterhouse and Jain, and produced by Jain, Labberton, Eli Hirsch, and apob. Both songs were mixed by Blue May and mastered by Matt Colton at Metropolis Studios.
 
“My Fun” and “Faded” will be on her forthcoming album, due out later this year.
 
Suki Waterhouse will perform at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival this Friday, April 12th, closing out the Gobi Stage at 10:30 pm. She will play again on Friday, April 19th (set time and stage TBD).
 
Later this summer, she’ll appear at Seattle’s Day In Day Out on Saturday, July 13th.
 
Suki Waterhouse has been working nonstop as a musician since the 2022 release of her Sub Pop debut, I Can’t Let Go. She followed the album with the standalone single and official video for “Nostalgia” and the Milk Teeth EP (featuring the Gold-certified single “Good Looking,” which went viral on TikTok and peaked at #1 on Spotify’s Viral USA Chart). In 2023, Suki released the single and official video for “To Love,” the song “Everyday’s A Lesson in Humility,” a summery collaboration with Belle and Sebastian, and in August, joined Local Natives on a reimagining of their single, “NYE.”
 
Last year, Suki played to some of the largest crowds of her career in South America (Lollapalooza in Argentina, Brazil, and Chile), the US (Governor’s Ball, Ohana, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits Festivals), and Mexico (at Corona Capital). Suki also starred as Karen Sirko in “Daisy Jones & The Six,” the Emmy-nominated Amazon Prime Video limited series based on the popular book by Taylor Jenkins Reid.
