For the final edition of the series, Soccer Mommy has covered The Cars’ classic ‘Drive’, while SASAMI has shared a version of System Of A Down classic ‘Toxicity’.
“I’m really glad to get to release this cover of drive,” Sophie Allison, aka Soccer Mommy, says. “It’s a song I’ve loved for a long time that I started covering pretty recently. It was nice to get to record one last thing in the studio before everything shut down.”

Earlier in the Singles Series, Soccer Mommy teamed up with MGMT singer Andrew VanWyngarden, where Allison covered MGMT’s ‘Indie Rokkers’ while VanWyngarden, under his new Gentle Dom moniker, remixed Soccer Mommy’s ‘Circle The Drain’.
Earlier collaborations in the series included team-ups with both Jay Som and Beabadoobee.
