Momma – Rodeo
31.03.25
Ahead of this Friday’s release of their highly anticipated new album Welcome to My Blue Sky, Momma have shared their new single “Rodeo” alongside a Richard Phillip Smith-directed video.
The track channels frustration and longing—a tension perfectly echoed in its pummeling riffs, staccato drum beats, and indelibly sweet vocal delivery. “This song is written from the perspective of two people we kind of left behind, romantically. It’s our attempt at honoring their stories by tapping into the feeling of being replaced by someone else. We made the video with Richard Smith, who had the idea to put us on an ice rink and have someone skating around us, with a bull chasing her. It’s supposed to replicate the idea of being in the center of the ring of a rodeo, and feeling like someone is doing laps around you and you just can’t keep up,” songwriters/vocalists/guitarists Allegra Weingarten and Etta Friedman explain.
Last week, Momma – recently named artists to watch by The New York Times – made their late night television debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! with an electrifying performance of “I Want You (Fever)”, a song that is rising up the US Alternative & AAA radio, which you can watch here.
Momma will embark on a headlining US tour later this month, with three already sold-out shows at their biggest venues to date. The band are set to perform in the EU and UK later this year with shows at Primavera Sound (Barcelona and Porto) and Outbreak Festival (London and Manchester) in June, and more dates to follow this Autumn. Tickets for all tour dates are available from their website.
