Soccer Mommy Returns To Roots With New Album ‘Evergreen’ & Shares ‘M’ Single

Soccer Mommy, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Sophie Allison, will release a new album entitled Evergreen on October 25 via Loma Vista Recordings. Soccer Mommy shared the album’s latest single, “M.”

Allison recorded the follow-up to her 2022 album, Sometimes, Forever, with producer Ben H. Allen III at Maze Studios in Atlanta. After the release of her previous LP, “Allison experienced a profound and also very personal loss” that informed the 11-song Evergreen, which includes the previously shared lead track, “Lost.”

According to a press release:

The mission for the album was to take life’s moments, frame them without obfuscating the emotional burdens or gifts that anchored them, and to let the lyrics and moods speak for themselves. Allison rendezvoused in Atlanta with producer Ben H. Allen III and told him she wanted to elide synthesizers and digital flourishes this time, favoring acoustic guitars, rich drums, and interweaving flutes.

They built basic tracks for half the album as a pair in Allen’s Maze Studios before ushering in her touring band to add more. There were real flutes and real strings, just as Allison had imagined. As the layers and ideas mounted, Allen and Allison focused on peeling them back, on leaving subtle touches that never crowded the sentiments. The songs retain the spirit of the demos, candid and direct.

“I wanted to change things up a bit on this one and play around with some more organic textures,” Allison explained. “It was really important for me that the songwriting shone through everything and came to the forefront. These songs are very close to my heart and I hope they become close to some of yours as well!”
