I want this December to be the strongest month we've had this year. You see, I have discovered a lot of new music this year. It's been one of my goals this year to do this - to listen to music that isn't just the same thing over and over.
And last week, I dove HEAD first into that with a bunch of Coachella posts - a theme I'll be revisiting through April. But as I was discovering that group of artists, I accidentally discovered a few others I had never heard of.
So, this week, I'm going to be posting songs by artists I have NEVER posted before.
The first is Soccer Mommy (real name: Sophia Regina Allison), who released her fourth album a couple of months back. Evergreen is that album, and it is a contender for my favorite of 2024. This song features heavily on that album - a "light hearted love song", according to her - and is thus far the only one from the album to chart, garnering a lot of adult alternative airplay.
Anyway, she's a revelation and you should check her out now.
Prior to the album's release, Soccer Mommy performed the songs live in a more intimate setting. Here's "Driver" in a more stripped down manner. Her performance is accessible and down to earth - which is a trait most of her music shares.
(Update: 28 March 2025) I took a break from Maple Leaf March to edit this post because she actually did the stripped down version on Jimmy Kimmel Live at the end of February and released it as a single. And, since I am writing a post for April right now, I need this to be here because I am about to reference it in that post.
Yep. That's my process.
Also, the performance was amazing and I actually watched it when it was broadcast.
