Katie Gavin spoke at size in regards to the which means behind “Variety Of Woman” and its accompanying visible” in a press launch. Their assertion reads:
This track is the album’s nation second, and in some methods we really feel it’s the coronary heart of the file. This track explores the facility of language and the phrases we use to explain who we’re and who we need to be. Although it’s a blissful, hopeful track, I shed essentially the most tears of the file within the vocal sales space recording this refrain. I feel there’s one thing very weak about plainly expressing my want to be kinder to myself and cozy receiving love (and my want to backyard despite the fact that I kill the whole lot I plant).
The video for this track highlights one other layer of which means that we really feel the track holds, which is that we as queer persons are significantly weak after we are sharing how we establish and the way we want to be perceived. We wished to play with the gendered nature of this track as a result of all of us three have completely different relationships to girlhood (and Naomi is non-binary, so not a lady in any respect!). It was a present to have the ability to king for this video in a method that felt earnest and cozy and sizzling. The expertise introduced house the truth that it’s not sufficient for queer and trans folks to be clear about who we’re – we additionally want a group round us that hears us, believes us, honors us, and helps us. We’re very pleased with what we made and grateful to everybody who was part of it. We hope the bigots completely hate it.
