Sophie Allison, known as Soccer Mommy, recently shared her interpretation of Sheryl Crow’s iconic C’mon, C’mon track “Soak Up the Sun.” Give a listen to Allison’s unique, shoegaze twist on the early 2000s sensation.
Allison has been a dedicated admirer of Crow’s work for a long time. In a conversation with The New York Times last year, she expressed, “Crow’s discography is filled with such massive hits that it’s almost impossible for someone of my generation not to have heard them.” She further appreciated the singer-songwriter for her ability to “address difficult subjects, yet make it feel like she’s willing to recognize and comfortably accept the challenges.”
The freshly-released cover comes just hours before Allison and her band embark on their North American tour in support of Maggie Rogers, commencing with a performance at Forest Hills Stadium in Queens, New York.
