Framed by last year’s singles ‘Amiss’ and ‘Beck n call’, Waterbaby emerges as one of Stockholm’s most quietly compelling songwriters with the upcoming Memory Be a Blade. Having already been nominated for two Swedish Grammys and a run of collaborations with their fellow local luminaries, her full-length debut on Sub Pop is one to look out for. Produced by longtime collaborator Marcus White, the album was built with a small, close-knit group of musicians, the way most of our beloved albums are birthed (ha). - Flying Out 


Rising Stockholm, Sweden-based singer-songwriter waterbaby romanticizes everything. You can hear it in the rising star’s music, which is nostalgic, tender, and as fluid as her stage name implies. waterbaby was surrounded by music as a child, from her great-grandad, a jazz pianist, to her uncle, who worked in clubs, to her own brother, who performs under the name tt. She eventually found her own way and sound, releasing her debut EP Foam with Sub Pop in 2023. Produced by her main collaborator Marcus White (YG, Anna of the North), the fizzy, confessional, guitar-driven project featured the singles “911,” “Airforce blue,” and “Wishing well.”

Following the 2025 releases of singles “Amiss” and award-winning Hannes collaboration “Wish,” waterbaby is preparing for the highly anticipated release of her full-length debut, Memory Be a Blade. Darker and more lush than her EP, waterbaby’s new music comes from a place of subconscious heartbreak, reflecting on a past break-up as she was about to experience a new one. White brought in a stellar team of musicians to add depth and wholeness to the sound, reflecting waterbaby’s classical music background. “It basically took shape before our eyes,” she says of the seamless process of bringing these emotional new songs to life. This time, the lyrics were more improvised, allowing waterbaby more freedom to express what she needed to say.
“I took the mic not knowing what I’m about to do,” she says, “and that’s become the most honest outlet in my life.”
