Interpretation

"Supersonic" rides a vintage-flavored guitar riff that nods to 90s alternative without becoming pastiche, Suki Waterhouse doing something genuinely confident with her role as a singer operating primarily on instinct and charm. The production has a warm fuzziness to it — a slight distortion on the guitars, drums that feel like they were recorded in a real room with real air between them. Her voice isn't technically extraordinary but it's completely convincing, delivering the lyrics with the offhand coolness of someone who isn't trying too hard and knows it. Lyrically it moves through attraction and momentum, a relationship that exists at high velocity and warm temperature. The song's references to speed and sensation are embodied in the track's structure — things happen quickly, nothing overstays its welcome. This is music for the particular pleasure of driving with the windows down, a song that asks nothing from you except that you move through it as it moves through you.
