The Isle of Wight indie band Wet Leg continues to innovate with their playful songwriting, presenting a gentler, soul-stirring sound that resonates through themes of love and longing.
‘moisturizer,’ the band’s recently released second album (July 11th via Domino), embodies a softer note of yearning for connection and loyalty in its third track, “davina mccall.”
Inspired by the beloved British TV host Davina McCall, famous for her role on Big Brother, the song encapsulates the tenderness and brightness of love, drawing from the genuine essence McCall embodies. The warmth of the imagery combined with the intricately layered rhythm amplifies the song's emotional journey.
‘moisturizer’ – Wet Leg
Oh, ’cause you’re like the sun
Days turn to months
and months into years
We’re growing with the pain,
We dry each other’s tears
The melody introduces gentle electric strumming paired with subtle drumming, with hi-hats and cymbals propelling the energy and empathy conveyed in the lyrics. The themes of transformation and development through shared experiences inspire resilience and encourage vulnerability.
You know that I would
Do anything for you
It’s like a dream come true
Each day is spent seeking to say
Something to make you smile
Smooth and steady vocals project dedication, expressing lyrics with sincerity about mutual aspirations between partners, where authenticity prevails over chaos. Remaining devoted to the connection and keeping an uplifting spirit, the single offers joy with every listen. During the track's production, Wet Leg’s Hester Chambers, Ellis Durand, and Rhian Teasdale collaborated on the lyrics and melody, eagerly anticipating the final product. “Ellis and I were on the edge of our seats, thinking, ‘We’re gonna get this, we’re completing the puzzle,'” Chambers recalls.
I’ll be your Shakira,
whenever, wherever
You know I’ll come sailing
through the stormy weather
Oh-oh, it’s that kind of love
Never will I leave you
stranded on an island
You know I would hold you
tighter than a python
Oh-oh, it’s that kind of love
Dreams end too soon
When I’m with you
I’d go to hell and back just

To spend an hour with you
Just say and I’ll come through
It’s kinda cold on Earth anyway
When you’re not around
That’s life (At night, I’m staring at the ceiling)
That’s love (Thinking about you, am I dreaming?)
If you are a dream, then I don’t ever wanna wake up
That’s life (I don’t know how to stop this feeling)
My love (Oh, I’m in love, you best believe it)
If this is a dream, then I don’t ever wanna wake up
