Soccer Mommy – twenty-year old Nashville native Sophie Allison – recently announced her debut album Clean, out on March 2nd via Fat Possum – and today she has shared its second single, “Cool“.
Showcasing Allison’s growth as a lyricist, “Cool” is a meditation on identity, on wishing to be someone else for a while. “The song focuses on this other person who’s desirable and cool, and it shows how sometimes you can romanticize the idea of being different than you are,” explains Allison. “It comes from a place of insecurity and idealization, which is a feeling that hangs over a lot of the album.”
Listen to the new song below:
