Stream: “davina mccall” – Wet Leg
Isle of Wight indie band Wet Leg continue to push boundaries with cheeky songwriting, crafting a softer, soul-emotive tone that tugs at the heartstrings through themes of love and desire.
moisturizer, the group’s recently-released sophomore album (July 11th via Domino), features a softer note of yearning for connection and devotion in its third track, “davina mccall.”
Inspired by the beloved British host, Davina McCall, best known for her work on Big Brother, the track reflects the tenderness and the light of love – playing on the sincerity McCall represents. Listeners can feel the warmth of the imagery and carefully layered rhythm, enhancing the emotional pacing of the song.
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 tune unveils delicate electric strumming with subtle drum patterns, shuffling the hi-hats and cymbal rides to uplift the energy and empathy that shines through the lyrics. Themes of change and growth through human experiences enable us to find the strength to be vulnerable and develop resilience.
You know that I would
Do anything for you
It’s like a dream come true
Every day is spent trying to say
Something to make you smile
Smooth, steady vocals radiate devotion, delivering lyrics with honesty of shared dreams between loved ones, where authenticity cuts through the noise of turmoil. Staying true to the connection and keeping a light-hearted nature, the single gives listeners a sense of joy with each replay. During the production of the track, Wet Leg’s Hester Chambers, Ellis Durand and Rhian Teasdale worked in collaboration on the lyrics and melody as they were anticipating the completion of their ballad. “Ellis and I were on the edge of our seats, being like, ‘We’re gonna get this, we’re completing the puzzle,'” Chamber shares.
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 l’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
