Ahead of the release of their highly anticipated new album Welcome to My Blue Sky this Friday, Momma has shared their latest single, ‘Rodeo,’ accompanied by a visually striking video directed by Richard Phillip Smith.
‘Rodeo’ is a powerful track that balances frustration and longing, delivering pummeling riffs, staccato drum beats, and sweet yet melancholic vocal harmonies. The song, written from the perspective of past romantic partners left behind, explores the feeling of being replaced by someone else. The accompanying video reinforces this theme, featuring the band performing on an ice rink while a skater, pursued by a bull, circles them—symbolizing the inescapable feeling of being left behind in the game of love.
Songwriters/vocalists/guitarists Allegra Weingarten (she/her) and Etta Friedman (they/them) explain:
“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.”
‘Rodeo’ is out now.
