Soccer Mommy has shared a cover of Sheryl Crow’s “Soak Up the Sun” ahead of show at NYC’s Forest Hills Stadium. Crow is a formative artist for Soccer Mommy’s Sophie Allison, who was interviewed by The New York Times last year about Crow’s influence.
“She has so many songs that are these massive hits that, at least for someone my age, you can’t have grown up and not heard those songs,” she said. “She has a knack for saying something hard, but making it feel like she’s ready to acknowledge it and be cool with this hard acceptance.”
As a big Sheryl Crow fan, “Soak Up The Sun” is a song I’ve been wanting to cover since we used to practice it in my parents’ basement years ago. I’ve always wanted to work it up again.
