Soccer Mommy, the project of singer-songwriter Sophie Allison, has unveiled a touching new single, “M,” from her forthcoming album Evergreen. Set for release on October 25, Evergreen marks a significant artistic pivot for Allison, returning to her organic roots with a fresh cinematic approach.
“M” is an introspective track that contrasts with Soccer Mommy’s more experimental recent releases. The song embraces a raw, unfiltered quality that mirrors the intensity of Allison’s emotions. The lush arrangement, featuring sweeping flute and string instrumentals, creates a warm and moving soundscape that underpins the song’s exploration of grief and memory.
The lyrics reflect a haunting sense of nostalgia, as Allison sings to the lingering shadows of what once was. She acknowledges the complexity of remaining emotionally tethered to something lost, recognizing that while it may be problematic, it’s an honest reflection of her current state. This sentiment is beautifully encapsulated in the song’s gentle, melancholic melodies, which convey a bittersweet sense of acceptance.
“M” shows Soccer Mommy’s ability to blend raw, personal storytelling with lush, cinematic arrangements. As Allison navigates through themes of loss and longing, the track stands as a witness to her growth and depth as an artist.
