Soccer Mommy, the stage name of 24-year-old singer-songwriter Sophie Allison, is one of music’s most intriguing and talented young stars. In 2018, she took the music world by storm with her proper debut album Clean, an intimate and emotionally incisive indie rock album that was lauded by many as one of the year’s best releases. Prior to her big breakthrough, the Nashville-based artist had already won over legions of fans through a series of home-recordings posted to her Bandcamp and underground EPs such as “For Young Hearts.” With a gift for tackling difficult subjects like depression and isolation in an emotionally resonant way, Soccer Mommy’s music seems custom-made for these anxious times. In 2020, Allison reunited with producer Gabe Wax for her anticipated sophomore album color theory, which once again displayed her singular talent for poignant lyricism alongside captivating melodies.
