Momma - "I Want You (Fever)"

We adored Momma's 2022 album Household Name. The whole release had an amazing updated 90's alt-rock sound that hits multiple sweet spots of ours. Now the Brooklyn band is back with "I Want You (Fever)." If you liked their last album as much as we did, you're also going to love this new song. There's still that same 90's throwback sound in this new single, but Momma are adding in some extra dream pop elements. It's much faster than your typical dream pop song, and there are some more electronic elements added in. Last time we heard from Momma was 2023's standalone single "Bang Bang" which I compared to Veruca Salt meets Sneaker Pimps. If I'm going to play the comparison game with "I Want You (Fever)," I'm going to go with Belly meets Sneaker Pimps.

Momma says about their latest single:

“‘I Want You (Fever)’ is a song we wrote about wanting to be with someone who has a girlfriend, or someone who isn’t over their ex. It’s pining after someone, but there’s also some confidence knowing that that person wants to be with you. The second we wrote that song we felt like we were entering a new era - we scrapped everything we had written for the album up to that point because it felt so fresh and so exciting.”

You can watch the video for "I Want You (Fever)" below. Welcome to My Blue Sky will be out April 4 on Polyvinyl Record Co./Lucky Number, and is available for pre-order here.
