The Free Weekly Download at WNRN.org is “labour” from Paris Paloma. This is the first song she ever recorded in a studio, and you can find it included on her debut release, Cacophony.
“That song is an entire metaphor for the way that people talk about women, view them and treat them,” Paris explains. “It’s so harrowing that that doesn’t even end in their death at all, whether it’s people like Marilyn Monroe or Amy Winehouse; they will continue to be exploited. It’s something that a lot of women and queer people are becoming incredibly vocal about, and the lack of tolerance that there should be for that. On a personal level, it’s the part of the album that deals with the role that patriarchal violence has played in stunting my personal growth. There’s just so much pain in that song that shouldn’t have to be there.”
Soccer Mommy has a new album coming out this week called Evergreen. On the next World Cafe, revisit a 2020 conversation with Sophia Allison, aka Soccer Mommy, when she stopped by the show to discuss her then new album, Color Theory. Sophia talks about how the album is broken into 3 sections – yellow, blue, and gray – according to what the songs mean to her, and about how she incorporated old technology and sounds to capture something that reminded her of the tapes she would find in her house as a kid.
