Suki Waterhouse is giving vinyl collectors something far beyond a standard deluxe pressing. The singer-songwriter has unveiled a special edition of her upcoming third studio album Loveland that transforms the record into a fully playable board game, turning one of summer’s most anticipated indie-pop releases into an interactive listening experience.
Announced alongside the album’s full 14-song tracklist, the inventive edition arrives ahead of Loveland’s July 10 release via Island Records and has already sparked immediate excitement across social media. “I’ve been keeping a secret from you,” she announced. “Loveland is an album & a board game of desire and devotion, made to be played with the record on, with friends or with strangers. / As the album unfolds, roll the dice and move through the songs. / Im so excited to play with some of you.
Designed to be played while the record spins, the board game ties gameplay directly to the progression of each track, inviting fans — or even complete strangers — to move through the experience as the music unfolds. Reactions online were instant, with one fan summing up the collective response: “the vinyl being a boardgame.. oh Suki Waterhouse your mind.”
The reveal marks another carefully curated chapter in Waterhouse’s rollout for Loveland, a project she has described as her most emotionally expansive work to date. Across 14 tracks, the album explores identity, reinvention, and emotional recalibration, navigating the tension between youthful fantasy and the steadier realities of adulthood and motherhood. “Loveland to me lives in the distance between a former self who felt most alive in romance, fantasy and momentum, and a present self reaching for something steadier, more intimate and more true,” Waterhouse shared when first introducing the record.
That thematic duality is reflected throughout the newly unveiled tracklist, which includes previously released singles “Back in Love” and “Tiny Raisin,” alongside fresh titles such as “Notting Hill,” “Teardrops,” “When I Get Drunk (I Want You Boy),” and the title track “Loveland.”
Waterhouse assembled an impressive creative team for the album, collaborating with Amy Allen, Aaron Dessner, Joel Little, Dan Wilson, Jules Apollinaire, and Natalie Findlay across the record.
The vinyl announcement also doubles as a fresh momentum boost for The Loveland Tour 2026, which kicks off July 22 in Phoenix. First announced on April 28, the North American run launches less than two weeks after the album’s release, giving fans little time to sit still before the new era fully hits the road.
