Soccer Mommy - Color Theory (2020) [Hi-Res]

For Sophie Allison, aka Soccer Mommy, 'color theory' is a distillation of hard-won catharsis. The album confronts the ongoing mental health and familial trials that have plagued the 22-year-old artist since pre-pubescence, presenting listeners with an uncompromisingly honest self-portrait, and reminding us exactly why her critically-acclaimed debut, 2018's 'Clean', made her a hero to many. Wise beyond her years, Allison is a songwriter capable of capturing the fleeting moments of bliss that make an embattled existence temporarily beautiful. With 'color theory', her fraught past becomes a lens through which we might begin to understand what it means to be resilient.
