Soccer Mommy, or Sophie Allison to her mum, has unveiled a poignant new chapter with the release of “M”. This haunting track serves as a captivating prelude to her forthcoming album, ‘Evergreen’, due out on October 25, 2024. The single offers a tantalising glimpse into a collection of songs set to explore the depths of human emotion.
In “M,” Soccer Mommy crafts a sound that is both intimately familiar and strikingly resonant. Her raw vulnerability, paired with intricate melodies, creates a sonic landscape that is musically stripped-back yet expansive in terms of themes. The song’s poignant exploration of loss and longing showcases Allison‘s unparalleled ability to evoke profound emotions.
Allison’s vocal delivery is nothing short of breathtaking. Her voice, like a wisp of smoke carried on a gentle breeze, conveys a depth of emotion that is both haunting and comforting. The understated beauty of the instrumentation provides the perfect backdrop for Allison’s poignant lyrics. These themes have been explored before in the Soccer Mommy catalogue in the past but this release feels particularly timeless.
The music video, directed by Anna Pollack, complements the song’s nostalgic undertones with its vintage aesthetic. By exploring rural landscapes and small-town attractions, the video evokes a longing for simpler times, mirroring the melancholic core of the song. This visual narrative enhances the song’s introspective nature, creating a cohesive and immersive experience. As listeners, we’re pulled into a world of longing and reflection, where every note feels like a personal confession. “M” lingers, a ghost in the halls of your mind, a testament to Allison’s uncanny ability to connect deeply.
With anticipation building for ‘Evergreen‘, “M” serves as an enticing preview of what promises to be a deeply personal and reflective album. Soccer Mommy is a name synonymous with raw emotion and sonic brilliance, and “M” is yet another nod to her unparalleled artistry.
