Soccer Mommy has shared ‘Lost’, her first new single since 2022. Check it out below.

The 27-year-old singer-songwriter, real name Sophia Allison, has been showcasing the new track on her ‘The Lost Shows’ tour in her native US, and it’s the first single she’s released since her 2022 album ‘Sometimes Forever’.

While Soccer Mommy released ‘Karaoke Night’, an EP featuring covers of some of her favourite songs, in September, ‘Lost’ is the first original material she’s shared in almost two years.

“‘Lost’ feels like something new and something old at the same time,” she said of the track. “It’s a song that’s full of reflection and I wanted its production to really capture that feeling. I’m happy to have a chance to play it at these more intimate solo shows, because I think it really shines in that setting.”

‘Lost’ has an emotive, melancholy feel, mixing mellow acoustic guitar with moving strings. “Lost in a way that don’t make sense / Lost in a way that never ends,” Soccer Mommy sings in the chorus, the sadness in her voice palpable.

 

This comes after she brought out Phoebe Bridgers on stage last week during her Masonic Lodge gig in LA for a cover of Elliott Smith’s ‘The Biggest Lie’. Soccer Mommy also gave three news tracks their live debuts: ‘Abigail’, ‘Thinking of You’, and ‘Changes’.

Later this month, Soccer Mommy will be hitting the road in the UK for a series of tour dates, including sets at Glastonbury and Manchester’s Outbreak Festival. Check out her full tour dates below and see here for tickets and details.

Tyler, The Creator is getting copyright strikes lifted so fans can react to ‘Chromakopia’ on social media

Tyler, The Creator has revealed that he’s trying to get copyright strikes lifted so that fans can react to his new album in full on social media.

Following the release of his latest album ‘Chropmakopia’ in late October, fans of Tyler, The Creator have been sharing their reactions to the record on social media. However, many of said fans have begun experiencing copyright strikes and blocked for their content, with either the sound being removed from their videos, or the videos and accounts being taken down completely.

Now, the rapper has assured a fan on Instagram that his team are working on getting the copyright strikes lifted so that complete reactions can be shared on social media without penalty. In response to one fan flagging copyright bans, Tyler commented, per SleepingOnGems: “Gonna make sure the block gets lifted man, hit my squad up early this am”.

The fan later responded saying: “Video is up and all blocks lifted. Appreciate you helping”.

 

Earlier this year, in the midst of their heated feud, both Kendrick Lamar and Drake had waived all copyright stipulations from their diss tracks targeted at each other, resulting in the mass reacting and sharing of their songs on social media.

In May 2023, Grimes criticised the use of copyright in regards to music: “Copyright sucks. Art is a conversation with everyone that’s come before us. Intertwining it with the ego is a modern concept. The music industry has been defined by lawyers, and that strangles creativity.

“I think everything about copyright is problematic,” Grimes added. “There’s too much top down control. In the early days of TikTok there was a lot of weird music going viral, but now the gatekeeping stranglehold means less interesting stuff coming out.”

In the wake of the ‘Chromakopia’ release, Tyler has announced more dates for his massive ‘Chromakopia’ world arena tour. He’s added three shows in his hometown of Los Angeles, along with New York, Austin, and Seattle, while adding on to his European leg with another Paris date. Australia has also received three new shows on the tour.

In NME’s three-star review of ‘Chromakopia’, Fred Garratt-Stanley wrote: “Within the chaos [of the album], there’s beauty — the sensitivity of ‘Hey Jane’, the infectious hip-hop bite of ‘Thought I Was Dead’, the rising cacophonies of brass and percussion on ‘I Killed You’. But perhaps a less frantic approach would’ve benefited the listen overall.”
