Suki Waterhouse is everywhere at once. A year after the hit show “Daisy Jones and the Six” reintroduced her music talents to a new audience, she opened for Taylor Swift at London's Wembley Stadium. Now she's unveiled her second studio album, a sprawling 18-track release that never outstays its welcome and features plenty of shining moments.

Waterhouse barnstorms through the opening third of the album with six songs that each run under three minutes. Opener “Gateway Drug” begins with spacious chords and mournful vocals and builds to a waltz-y crunch of garage guitar. “Supersad” ups the tempo with high vocals over a club-ready wall of guitar and synth sounds.

Executive producer Eli Hirsch was instrumental behind the scenes, lending his own contributions on guitar, bass, keyboards and percussion. It is a high-wire act to work with so many, and it wouldn’t work without Waterhouse’s vocal dexterity. Throughout the release, she slides comfortably between ‘60s pop, ’70s hippie jams, ‘90s alternative and contemporary alt-rock.
