Speaking to Rolling Stone about the track, Suki shared, “‘To Love’ is a song that I wrote really recently that I was going to wait to put out on my second album. But I felt like it is a very distinct portrait of my heart right now that I wanted to share. I started performing it on tour and got so excited that I wanted to share it with everyone.”

This is Suki’s first release since her EP, Milk Teeth, released in November 2022. The EP featured her most well-received track to date, “Good Looking,” which exploded on TikTok, catapulting Suki to a new level of popularity. The track currently has in excess of 157million streams on Spotify, and pushed Suki into the category of melancholy pop girls amongst contemporaries Lana Del Rey and Phoebe Bridgers.

Suki shared her feelings surrounding her songwriting with NME, saying “I felt incredibly blocked in my own autobiographical memory of who I was or what I could be. Jumping into those anxieties helped me feel free. That’s not to say suddenly everything became super joyous and easy, but I think if you want to stay in that state of creativity, the whole thing is, a lot of the time, it’s not a great place to be at all.”

Suki continued, “That’s what has to be appreciated – the pockets of bliss are small and it’s the muddiness in between and the willpower to jump into the fear [that lead you to them].”

Suki has credited “a delusional confidence” for her ability release her art, saying, “I think it’s something to do with an acknowledgement of fear. It’s when you’re not afraid to show up with the things that you’re afraid of that leads to confidence.”

Speaking on her debut album, Suki said, “I wrote the album in much more of a hurt place, a much more hollow and confused space,” with her newest release, “To Love” seeing her move into a more positive, comfortable realm.

Suki’s relationship with Robert Pattinson has made headlines recently, following their attendance of the 2023 Met Gala together, with many fans viewing “To Love” as an ode to Pattinson, though Suki hasn’t commented on this herself.

In addition to her music releases, Suki recently starred in the Amazon Prime TV adaptation of Taylor Jenkins Reid’s popular novel, Daisy Jones and the Six. Suki played a character not too dissimilar from her real life persona, starring as Karen, a keyboard player keen to move up the ranks of the LA music scene in the 1970s.

The cast recorded an album as the titular fictional band, with the original songs written by Blake Mills, who has previously worked with the likes of Fiona Apple and Lana Del Rey.

Speaking on the experience of recording the album with her costars, Suki said, “To get to actually play together so much that you genuinely are a band was very unlike anything I’d ever experienced.”

Mad Cool Festival is a huge Pop, Rock and Alternative music festival happening from the 11-13 July 2019, in Madrid, Spain. Despite only being founded in 2016, it is already one of Europe’s hottest, most eagerly anticipated events. The festival has already brought bona-fide rock megastars to the centre of Europe over the course of only 2 years. Next years event looks set to be even hotter, with the exciting announcement of two exciting bands.

The 1975 who are set to play, will release their hotly anticipated third album ‘A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships’ this month, before their follow-up ‘Notes On A Conditional Form’ will be released next year, as part of their ‘Music For Cars’ era. The band who originate from Manchester, topped the UK Album Chart with their self entitled album The 1975 in 2013. In 2017 they won the highly acclaimed Brit Award for Best British Group.

They will be joined by The National, an American Rock Band heralding from Cincinnati, Ohio. Formed in 1999, The National achieved worldwide acclaim with their 2005 album entitled ‘Alligator’. In more recent years they have had hits with the album ‘Sleep Well’, which won the Grammy award for Best Alternative Music Album at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards in 2017.

The National revealed they were ‘beyond the halfway point’ with progress on their next album, driven by a certain “looseness” and “an energy that’s evaded us in the past” said guitarist Bryce Dessner.

Next years Spanish Mad Cool Festival is expected to be even bigger than previous years, attracting over 80,000 fans per day, with greater investment in sound equipment and quality, and almost guaranteed sunshine. Next years event with such a mega-star line-up is not to be missed.

Other acts to be announced were British 1970s rock legends The Cure, with legendary tracks such as Friday Im in Love, and Just Like Heaven. Also confirmed were the 1990s post rock Scottish based band Mogwai. Formed in 1995 Mogwai had success both in the UK and USA, reaching no.23 in the UK Albums Chart with their album Rock Action in 2001, as well as reaching No.13 on the Billboard Independent Album Chart, with Happy Songs for Happy people in 2003.
