Hailing from Stockholm, Sweden, waterbaby carries her homeland’s long heritage of artful pop creation in her bones. “Memory Be a Blade,” her new single, is rendered with a precision that’s almost startling. Even with that pristine feel, there’s an earthy soulfulness, too. The song radiates cool, especially as her rich vocals float above, within, and through the music. There’s glory here.

Memory Be a Blade, the new album from waterbaby, is scheduled for release in March.
