***The Shark in Your Water*** is the 6th studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter, Flower Face, officially released on May 27th, 2022 through digital download, streaming, and vinyl. Every song on this record is written and recorded entirely by Flower Face. The album was released more than four years after her previous album, *Baby Teeth,* and it was announced the same day its single, "Sugar Water" premiered.

## Background

In a January interview with Wonderland Magazine, Flower Face talks about the long-awaited record, ***The Shark in Your Water***, and the process of recording, writing, and producing it, as well as future plans for the era.

> I can’t wait to finally release my new record, *The Shark in Your Water*. It’s been a long time coming. It’s been four years since my last one, and it’s been two years since I recorded this one! Because of the pandemic, everything was prolonged in such a frustrating way. This record is so significant for me, it has songs from as far back as 2015 like “Back to You”, it was my first time working with a whole production team in a big studio, and it has this incredible cinematic sound that I’ve been wanting to achieve since I started making music. There is still a lot of the classic Flower Face sound on there for the fans who have been supporting me since the beginning, but it also has some very new sounds that I’m really excited about. I also look forward to touring, but I don’t want to jinx it because everything has been so up in the air. But I’m hopeful! (Flower Face, 2022)
