We’ve touched on this in the past, but 2018 has been a hell of a year for Soccer Mommy. The project of 21-year-old Nashville native Sophie Allison saw the release of debut album Clean back in March, and through the year has shared stages with the likes of Liz Phair, Speedy Ortiz, and Phoebe Bridgers. Soccer Mommy play Brighton Music Hall on December 7, and in case you wanted more inspiration to hit Allston that night, Allison has today unveiled an enchanting cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “I’m On Fire”. The cover is the b-side to a new 7-inch single that showcases a reworked version of original track “Henry,” which first appeared on Soccer Mommy’s 2016 Orchid Tapes collection For Young Hearts. “I wanted to make a version of ‘I’m On Fire’ that connected with the sadness of the song,” says Allison. “I think that doing a more stripped down version allowed me to make something that feels emotionally raw.” The 7-inch is out October 5 via Fat Possum.
