Soccer Mommy – For Young Hearts (10th Anniversary Edition)
Soccer Mommy, the musical project of Nashville’s Sophie Allison, has made a name for herself over the last decade as one of indie’s most beloved and distinctive voices. It all began with For Young Hearts, her debut EP which was self-released on Bandcamp in 2016 prior to a wider release via Orchid Tapes later that year. The 8-track EP, which Allison wrote, recorded and performed entirely by herself in her childhood bedroom, marked the beginning of Soccer Mommy’s rise, laying the foundation for the critically acclaimed albums that followed.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of For Young Hearts, Soccer Mommy is self-releasing For Young Hearts (10th Anniversary Edition).
On streaming services today, For Young Hearts (10th Anniversary Edition) includes a previously unreleased song entitled “julian (demo),”, a new version of album standout “grown,” as well as “you won’t leave,” a track from an earlier release that has never been on streaming services.
“For Young Hearts felt like the start of something for me,” Sophie Allison explains. “I can still remember going back and forth from New York and Nashville to record some of these. Without this I wouldn’t be where I am today with Soccer Mommy.”
For Young Hearts (10th Anniversary Edition) finds a young Sophie Allison with a strong sense of newfound confidence. She bridges the gap between singer-songwriter and full on performer with warm honey-like vocals, playful pop hooks, and energetic melodies. For Young Hearts (10th Anniversary Edition) doesn’t just shimmer, it blooms from start to finish, and nods to a remarkable and prolific career to come.
Soccer Mommy will be touring this Fall, including a co-headline tour with long-time friend Snail Mail, and a solo tour supporting Liz Phair and Sleater-Kinney.
