    It can, at times, feel like you’re on an interminable carousel circling round and round again, but there are moments of pause. Every time you’re about to fall off the ride, a song will crop up grabbing your attention once more.

    Suki Waterhouse ends up with an overstuffed sophomore album with plenty of bright and scrappy highlights but too many unadventurous tracks that overshadow them.

    Memoir of a Sparklemuffin needs deeper introspection, more consideration as to Waterhouse’s lyrical identity.
