Sophie Allison aka Soccer Mommy has announced her third album Sometimes, Forever will be released on June 24 through Loma Vista. It was produced by Daniel Lopatin aka Oneohtrix Point Never. She has also shared the lead single, “Shotgun”, saying:
“‘Shotgun’ is all about the joys of losing yourself in love. I wanted it to capture the little moments in a relationship that stick with you.”
When you hear of such an intriguing songwriter-producer pairing like this, it’s natural to listen to a new song and wonder just what the producer brought to the table. In “Shotgun” it’s tempting to credit Lopatin with the alien synth sounds that roam around its edges or the more physical low-end, but moreover the song is a re-affirmation of Allison’s power-pop prowess. A cruising, effortlessly cool rock jam, “Shotgun” perfectly captures that on-top-of-the-world feeling of being in love that Allison wanted to convey, but she does it without making it sound corny – instead it’s empowering and intoxicating.
Watch the video for “Shotgun” below or listen on streaming platforms.
