Memory Be a Blade

Ashburn

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. Stockholm artist 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 SubPop in 2023. Produced by her main collaborator Marcus White the fizzy, confessional, guitar-driven project featured the singles “911,” “Airforce blue,” and “Wishing well.”

Following the 2025 releases of singles “Amiss” and 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.”
