“Unusual is about the first jitters in your stomach, and the excitement that belongs to falling in love”, says Thijs on the radio. “I wrote it after a night where my friendship with a girl suddenly increased. With all the confusion that comes with it. Before that I only had that with boys, but then I thought: Oh hey. (laughs) It felt exactly the same to me. It’s something universal. Whether you like boys, girls, both or others, that feeling is the same for everyone.”

Family informed
Met Unusual Thijs comes out as bisexual, although she doesn’t necessarily want to put a label on it. “Something like that is very personal. Those feelings didn’t come to me all of a sudden. You can say I’m bi, but I don’t care. I understand that such a label provides clarity for some, but it also creates a certain pressure. I don’t need to name that. It’s just that. From now on I will not introduce myself as: Hello, I’m Pommelien and I’m bi† I am the same as before.”
