The British singer, songwriter and actress brought her signature blend of indie rock, nostalgia and cinematic pop to Landmark Credit Union Live on Tuesday night, with support from Rochelle Jordan and EMMMA.

Suki Waterhouse has worn plenty of hats throughout her career: model, actress, songwriter and, increasingly, one of indie pop’s most captivating performers. On Tuesday night, the British multi-hyphenate brought her latest chapter to Milwaukee, stopping at the brand new Landmark Credit Union Live on Oct. 13 as part of her appropriately named The Loveland Tour.

For those who recognize Waterhouse’s face but not necessarily her music, the 34-year-old London native first gained attention through her modeling and acting careers, appearing in films including Love, Rosie, The Bad Batch and Pokémon Detective Pikachu, as well as the Amazon Prime Video series Daisy Jones & The Six. But music has become much more than a side project for Waterhouse, whose dreamy, alternative-pop sound has attracted a dedicated following of its own.

After releasing her debut album, I Can’t Let Go, in 2022, Waterhouse followed it with 2024’s Memoir of a Sparklemuffin, an album that further established her musical identity through a combination of vintage rock influences, atmospheric production and deeply personal songwriting. Her breakout song, “Good Looking,” originally released in 2017, found a second life through TikTok, introducing her music to millions of listeners and helping transform the actress and model into a legitimate headlining musician.

That dual identity is something Waterhouse has learned to embrace. After all, one of her most recognizable songs is literally titled “Model, Actress, Whatever,” a playful acknowledgment of the labels that have followed her throughout her career. But as her Milwaukee performance demonstrated, Waterhouse has developed a musical catalog that deserves attention on its own terms.

The evening featured two opening acts, beginning with EMMMA, a Connecticut-born, London-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose emotionally charged brand of alternative pop made her a fitting introduction to the night. With soaring vocals and a sound that balances vulnerability with anthemic energy, the emerging artist represents another promising voice in the increasingly crowded indie-pop landscape. Songs like “Fall From Grace” and “So Good” offer a glimpse into her ability to blend intimate songwriting with a bigger, more dramatic sound.

British-Canadian singer Rochelle Jordan followed, bringing a noticeably different musical approach to the lineup. Where EMMMA leans into emotionally driven pop, Jordan’s music explores the intersection of alternative R&B, house and electronic dance music. Her 2025 album, Through the Wall, further developed a sound influenced by ’90s R&B and the rhythms of UK club culture. Jordan’s sleek production and smooth, understated vocal delivery provided an interesting contrast to Waterhouse’s more guitar-driven material, giving the evening a musical range that extended well beyond traditional indie pop.

When it came time for the headliner, Waterhouse’s expansive setlist offered a look at just how much her musical career has evolved. Opening with “Supersad” and “Tiny Raisin,” she leaned immediately into the atmospheric, emotionally expressive sound that has come to define her work, before moving into the infectious “OMG.”

One of the more compelling elements of Waterhouse’s music is its ability to feel both contemporary and nostalgic. There are traces of ’70s soft rock, ’90s alternative music and modern bedroom pop throughout her catalog, but the influences rarely feel forced. Instead, they contribute to a sound that is simultaneously hazy, romantic and occasionally a little chaotic.

That combination was reflected in the show’s middle stretch, which included “Morals,” “Back in Love,” “Juke Box,” “My Fun” and “Happy With It.” The newer material also offered a glimpse of Waterhouse’s continuing evolution as a songwriter, particularly “Back in Love,” which arrived as part of the next phase of her recording career following her move to Island Records.

Songs like “Moves” and “Notting Hill” showcased the more melodic and introspective side of her catalog, while “18” and “When I Get Drunk” continued the evening’s exploration of romance, insecurity and the complicated emotions that frequently accompany both.

Of course, no Suki Waterhouse concert would feel complete without “Good Looking.” The song remains the defining breakthrough of her musical career, an atmospheric indie-pop favorite whose popularity helped introduce Waterhouse to an audience that might never have encountered her work on screen. Its dreamy production and wistful lyrics have become something of a calling card for the singer, and its inclusion was an essential part of the Milwaukee setlist.

But Waterhouse is far from a one-song success story. Later selections including “Think Twice,” “Dream Woman” and “Joanna” demonstrated the depth of a growing catalog that increasingly moves between understated vulnerability and more confident, dramatic songwriting.

“Model, Actress, Whatever” was another particularly fitting selection. The song’s title could almost serve as a shorthand biography for Waterhouse, whose transition between entertainment industries has occasionally made it difficult for casual observers to know exactly how to categorize her. At this point, though, the music speaks for itself.

The final stretch brought the tour’s namesake, “Loveland,” along with “Puppy Dog Eyes” and “Weirdo,” before Waterhouse closed the 21-song performance with “To Love.”

The choice of closer was appropriate for an evening so heavily rooted in romance and emotional connection. “To Love,” one of Waterhouse’s most affecting songs, captures the softer and more vulnerable side of an artist whose best material often finds beauty in uncertainty.

What makes Waterhouse an intriguing performer is the contrast between the glamour associated with her public persona and the unguarded emotions that run through her songs. Her music may be wrapped in dreamy production and vintage aesthetics, but underneath the surface are familiar experiences of heartbreak, longing, self-doubt and the sometimes messy process of falling in and out of love.

With The Loveland Tour, Waterhouse continues to establish an identity that goes well beyond the modeling campaigns and film credits that initially brought her into the spotlight. Her stop in Milwaukee served as another chapter in that transformation, with a lengthy setlist that connected her viral breakthrough, established fan favorites and newer recordings.

For anyone still inclined to think of Suki Waterhouse primarily as an actress or model who happens to sing, her growing body of work makes an increasingly persuasive argument to reconsider. The model and actress are still there, of course, but the musician is no longer an afterthought.
