Wesley Gonzalez unveils new song "Taste of Something New"

"Taste of Something New" is the latest taster of Gonzalez's new album, following the title-track "Wax Limousine" and "Greater Expectations" with Rose Elinor Dougall, and is teamed with a Tim Stevens-directed video.

Speaking about the new release, Gonzalez explains, "Dating apps were not really a thing when I had been single seven years earlier, and I had a bit of curiosity about them. I liked the people watching elements of them......that sounds a bit creepy. There was still an aspect of looking to shag someone obviously, though there wasn't many people on there I wanted to shag or thought would want to shag me to be honest, so it kind of felt more like looking through a lens at what normal people were like, gym bunnies and sapiosexuals mainly it seems. Anyways someone asked me out on there and I said yes then immediately panicked and called it off, then I wrote this."

Wax Limousine will follow Gonzalez's 2020 album Appalling Human.

He adds of the record, "This was written right after the breakup and [family member] cancer diagnosis. It was that early stage of a breakup where you can't really understand what went wrong for you or for your ex. There was resentment for the extreme change I had suddenly found myself in, and I was asking what it really was I did wrong. The title Wax Limousine came from old phrases like "as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike". I was trying to express how useless I felt within every situation that had just arrived at my doorstep."
