Rhian Teasdale, lead vocalist of Wet Leg, expressed the importance of writing love songs for her non-binary partner on the band's second album, moisturizer. The album features tracks like "Liquidize," "Pond Song," "Pokemon," and "CPR," which delve into the complexities of love. Teasdale stated her writing process felt dramatically different now that she is in a queer relationship, noting the lack of historical empowerment in love songs directed at men. She believes queer relationships lack a predetermined structure, offering a unique perspective on love.
Is it love or suicide? Hello, 999. What's your emergency? Well, the thing is I... I'm in love.
I've never wanted to write a love song about a man. And I don't even really enjoy listening to love songs from a woman to a man.
I feel like when you're writing an album, it is like a diary entry or a snapshot in time of where you are.
I just think queer love in particular is just so interesting to me, because there's no blueprint for it.
