Soccer Mommy - 'lucy'

Returning to music after the success of her debut album ‘Clean’ Sophie Alison aka Soccer Mommy is tapping into the darker side of her songwriting capabilities with ‘lucy’. 

At first listen you’re tricked into thinking the song could be about a friend but as it develops, you realise that lucy is actually an endearing abbreviation on Lucifer. If you follow Soccer Mommy on Twitter, you will notice that she is very vocal about the struggles that she has with herself. ‘lucy’ is a musical extension of these tweets, but twisted into the perspective of somebody who is being seduced by Lucifer, rather than ravaged by their own mind. “Succumbing to evil I thought I could never be / I look into the mirror and the darkness looks back at me.” Beneath a similar indie guitar haze as her previous releases lies a bleakness and a tale that is not destined to end well.
