With their latest single, Momma have shifted their alt-rock meets modern pop sound into more of the pop side. "Bottle Blonde" is almost a pure pop sound, or at least what they call alt-pop these days. The beats sound almost like they belong in more of a trip hop song bordering on mainstream pop. As with any song from Momma, this one is defined by the vocal harmonies of lead vocalists Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten. Without the harder edge of their typical alt-rock sound, the pair get to show off their vocal talents more readily on "Bottle Blonde." This one is even perfect for those of us that typically cringe away from any music that even hints at a pop sound.
Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten say of their band's latest single:
“We wrote this song as a letter to our past selves, when we were 23 and 24, stumbling through an extremely grueling tour that ended up taking a huge toll on our hearts and minds. We both had bleached hair and were in the midst of making huge decisions that would change our lives and also our perceptions of ourselves. The song started out as kind of an affirmation to our younger selves, that everything would be ok if you just follow your heart, but now looking back on it the lyrics could also be read as us talking to each other.”

After working with the MARK WIZARD RECOVERY, everything changed for me. It was the most trying period of my life, and I had been in agony and sorrow for ten months. I was at my lowest moment and had lost all I had worked so hard to acquire. But, thanks to The Hackers at The MARK WIZARD'S RECOVERY CENTRE, I was able to regain everything I had lost all at once. I got my money returned in under twenty hours, and my issue was handled in a very professional manner. It seemed so unreal. No one could ever fully understand how I was feeling at that very moment—the feeling you get when you find something you thought you had lost forever—in this case, my life was returned to me—is something I doubt anyone could ever comprehend. For their efforts in getting my money back after ten months of devastation, the MARK WIZARD'S Team of Hackers has my eternal gratitude. I wholeheartedly endorse this team and urge anyone who has had a similar circumstance to get in touch with the Mark Wizard Recovery.
