Paying homage to a noted influence, Soccer Mommy has released a cover of Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up the Sun.” Still promoting her album Sometimes, Forever, released mid last year, the cover comes as a surprising dose of Soccer Mommy’s unique sound in a familiar package.
Of Sheryl Crow, Sophie Allison of Soccer Mommy told The New York Times, “She has so many songs that are these massive hits that, at least for someone my age, you can’t have grown up and not heard those songs. She has a knack for saying something hard, but making it feel like she’s ready to acknowledge it and be cool with this hard acceptance.”
Soccer Mommy is currently on tour opening for Maggie Rogers. Following the dates in support of Rogers, Soccer Mommy will be playing around the country continuing their support of Sometimes, Forever.
