Kiwi songstress Anika Moa's upcoming album Love in Motion was inspired by her love for her new wife, she has revealed.
Moa civil unioned with burlesque dancer Azaria Universe in a private ceremony on Northland's West Coast last month.
The couple met at one of Universe's shows in Melbourne, Moa tells the Christchurch Press. "She was naked and I thought, 'Yeaaah'," she smiles.
"I fell in love instantly and that was it, I knew I was going to be with her for the rest of my life. I've never loved someone as much as I love her. I idolise her."
Some tracks on Moa's latest album, due out next month, are about the couple's relationship, she adds. "I Am the Woman Who Loves You is about when I first met my wife and I was trying to figure out how I fell in love with her, just by looking at her eyes, I fell in love with her.
"On Love Me Again I was taking the piss out of my love for Azaria, they are the cheesiest lyrics but they are actually from my heart. I mean every word I say."
