Blending sexy fantasies with bold, affirming statements of self-love and self-esteem, it’s impossible to listen to BIG WETT without feeling yourself.
When the opening lyrics of an album are “I’ve got the best pussy in town right here”, you know you’re about to be taken on a wild ride. Needless to say, Big Wett knows how to get people’s attention – and keep it.
On her debut EP, the aptly titled, PU$$Y, the Melbourne/Naarm-based provocateur continues to stretch her ever-undignified wings with a collection of the most utterly obscene, yet deliriously thrilling dance-floor rompers the Melbourne music scene has heard in recent years. Possibly even ever.
Keep up with the latest music news, festivals, interviews and reviews here.
A single listen to PU$$Y and you’ll see what I mean. There’s nothing subtle about it. From narratives of “big dicked” escapades to acknowledgments that her “pussy” so “sick” she “took it to the vet”, Big Wett’s an artist unabashedly proud of flaunting her sexual identity. Yet, while alternatively scuzzy in nature, there’s something very likeable about her output.
‘BAGS’ combines raunchy, self-assured pop alongside 90’s rave aesthetic and disco-synth sparkle. ‘DON’T U WANT IT ALL’ adds elements of acid-house wobble and trance-inspired breakbeats, while ‘NUMBER 1 PUSSY’ toys with pulsating rhythms and mechanical vocal cadences akin to club classics like ‘Technologic’ (Daft Punk) and ‘Pump The Breaks’ (Dom Dolla).
She’s certainly not a one-trick pony. While sex may well and truly sit at the forefront of Big Wett’s artistic persona, PU$$Y is more than just an album of debauchery. It’s a bombastic and boisterous debut that’ll undoubtedly set the club scene alight.
