Suki Waterhouse, the multifaceted singer-songwriter and model, has launched her latest music video for the single "Model, Actress, Whatever" ahead of her impending album, Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, set to drop later this week. The video, filled with chaotic energy, not only showcases Waterhouse's artistic vision but also reflects her personal journey.
In the video, Waterhouse takes on the role of an actress named Suki, struggling to find inspiration while on a film set. Directed by Chet Collins, the narrative highlights her transition from modeling to acting. The film director, characterized by a stoic demeanor, berates Suki for her "model-like" expressions, reminding her they are not at London Fashion Week. This pivotal moment serves as a metaphor for Waterhouse’s own experiences with identity and labels in her career.
Frustrated by the director's commands, Waterhouse's character ultimately rebels against the constraints imposed on her. In a dramatic climax, she sets the film set ablaze and throws a milkshake in the director's face, symbolizing her liberation from imposed identities. The video concludes with a brief, promotional cameo of the kombucha brand SYNERGY Raw, further emphasizing the intertwining of personal struggles and public perception.
Fans are encouraged to watch the video, which is now available for viewing. The single "Model, Actress, Whatever" reflects Waterhouse's journey as an artist evolving beyond traditional labels, illustrating that one need not be confined by societal expectations.
