“All I Wanna Do,” the new single from Nashville-based singer-songwriter and activist, Heather Mae is here. The track is an alt-pop banger influenced by the story in the Bible about Naomi and Ruth.
Heather confides, “Ruth’s unwavering loyalty to Naomi, saying, ‘Where you go, I will go,’ is often seen by lesbians as a rare biblical example of sapphic love. Growing up, I knew these stories well, but compulsory heteronormativity and the purity movement made me invalidate my own queerness. Despite my early crushes and kisses with girls, I thought I was straight because I also liked boys. Those ‘Naomis’ in my life were just friends in my eyes. ‘All I Wanna Do’ celebrates those hidden sapphic connections, honoring the love that was always there, even when we couldn’t fully see it.”
Positioned on the cusp of unveiling her upcoming post-pandemic double record, Mae embarked on a mission to address the stark gender disparity for music producers—a mere 4% representation by women. In 2023, Heather Mae rallied a dynamic collective of women and non-binary talents in Nashville, assembling luminaries like producer ZDAN and Lollies, alongside guest artists such as Grammy award-winning musician Allison Russell and the extraordinary duo Sistastrings.
