The track is from the artist’s forthcoming debut LP Sublimation.
Rising US artist Shalom has showed off a grungier and edgier side to her sound on her excellent new single ‘Soccer Mommy’, providing a stark contrast to the lush, laid-back pop appeal of ‘Happenstance’.
The track is something of a tribute to its namesake artist and the things that the artist has been through listening to her, and serves as a stellar addition to Shalom’s growing catalogue of tracks. From more intense feel to the darkness of the track’s atmosphere and lyrics, ‘Soccer Mommy’ showcases Shalom in a new light, and continues to establish what an exciting and thoughtful artist she is.
“This song is about a time in my life that I used to be very upset and embarrassed about, but now I’m like, wow, I feel so much better after writing this song.” Shalom says of the track. “It’s called ‘Soccer Mommy’ because I got my driver’s license in late 2019 and spent my first year on the road listening to Color Theory and thinking about my 20-year-old self who didn’t deserve the things that happened to her. I love Soccer Mommy. I’m terrified of driving, but I always felt brave listening to “Circle The Drain” on 287 south.”
