BIG WETT has released her second song of 2024, “HOLD UP UR BODY.”
The Australian electropop artist delivers exactly what you’d expect: playful lyrics, funky basslines, edgy sonic textures, and intense vocals. In other words, it’s tailor-made for the dancefloor.
“HOLD UP UR BODY” follows BIG WETT’s earlier 2024 single “SHE GOT THAT THING,” which was re-released with remixes by CC: DISCO and Melbourne DJ and producer Aldonna.
BIG WETT made her debut with the EP PU$$Y last September, earning acclaim from Rolling Stone AU/NZ, triple j, community radio, and more. Our Rolling Stone AU/NZ interview described her unapologetic style and bold personality:
“This is just the way of BIG WETT – an obscenity-filled personality often seen onstage swinging 12-inch dildos from her mouth, doing the splits in mini pink tutus while singing, “Number one pussy in the club.”
“Her shows – which have involved sets at most of Australia’s largest festivals including Splendour in the Grass, Pitch Music & Arts, and Meredith – are slutty, horny, and tailor-made for the femmes and queers. And if you think that makes her one dimensional, you probably don’t get it.”
The interview added, “BIG WETT’s debut EP aims to encapsulate the same unrepentant energy. Merging the zeitgeist and sound of 90’s raves with the more modern influence of Kim Petras, PU$$Y speaks to the allure of the uninhibited fun and confidence that comes with being sexually free.”
““I just want it to be such an escape from anything serious,” she says of her EP. “If you’re feeling shit, just don’t think about it for 10 minutes. There’s a time and a place to have your feelings and be serious, but sometimes you just don’t fucking want to do it.””
Expect much more from BIG WETT this year and beyond.
