Last month we vibed hard to Soccer Mommy’s rather unexpected cover of Sheryl Crow’s pop-rock cruiser “Soak Up The Sun.” Today (August 23) we learn that sweet sonic nugget part of a full-on covers EP from Nashville-based artist Sophie Allison, and the five-song track list is wild.
The EP is called Karaoke Night, and it’s out September 22 via Loma Vista. In addition to the Crow cover, Soccer Mommy is also giving us renditions of Pavement’s “Here”; Slowdive’s “Dagger”; R.E.M.’s “Losing My Religion”; and finally, “I’m Only Me When I’m With You” by Taylor Swift, which you can hear below.
“I really wanted to cover this song because it’s one of my favorites from Taylor’s first album,” Allison says. “I listened to that record so much when I was a kid and I think it had a lot of influence on me then.”
Karaoke Night is available for both pre-save and pre-order, the latter of which comes on a limited edition cassette with a Soccer Mommy karaoke microphone. Feels like a must-have item. Get details on all that here.
