Sofia Gobbi – Your Mom

London-based alt-pop singer-songwriter Sofia Gobbi releases “Your Mom” from her debut album, Bigger Man due January 16.

‘Your Mom’, the latest single to be taken from the London-based creatives’ debut. Offering a colourful, crunchy perspective on one-night stands, the track is a true standout from the project, blending tongue-in-cheek lyricisms with the ever-relatable confusion over what the heart really wants. Doubling down on her satirical approach to songwriting, the track sees Gobbi deliver her own spin on male-centric hookup anthems, delivering her charm and wit with a smirk.

Speaking about ‘Your Mom’, Sofia elaborates, “This song is about when people see you as the ‘nice one’ and assume you’re after something serious, even though you just want to have a bit of fun.” Adding, “There are so many hook-up anthems written by guys about keeping things casual and not catching feelings. I thought, why not write the same kind of song, but from a woman’s perspective?”

Diving into the themes embedded behind the album, and the album’s title, Sofia explains, “Dating today is messy. Roles are shifting, expectations are blurring, and a lot of the time it feels like women are the ones carrying it all – making the first move, planning the dates, picking up the check, and holding the emotional weight. At one point, I thought: fine, I’ll be the bigger man.”

Looking to start off the new year on the right foot, Sofia Gobbi looks to draw back the curtain on her long-awaited debut album, Bigger Man. Having caught the attention of the likes of BBC Radio 1, CLASH and Earmilk, Sofia has been gaining momentum with each new teaser of the album’s release. Now making the great leap forward, with a playful, empowering confidence, she gears up with no intention of looking back.

Coupling the contemporary slickness of modern pop with the grit of indie rock, Bigger Man is a ten-track celebration of youth, and everything that comes with it. Forging anthems that are both infectious, relatable and irresistible, Gobbi’s sonic momentum has seen her explore relationships, struggle, one-night stands, and everything in between. An expansive artist, with a true knack for enthusing her work with emotion, Bigger Man can tug on the heartstrings and give you that energising spring in your step, all in the same hand.
