Momo Boyd: From Alt Rock to Solo Stardom

Singer-songwriter Momo Boyd has unveiled her latest single, "Strong," offering a candid exploration of emotional imbalances within complicated relationships. Boyd shared that the song captures the push and pull often experienced in situationships, where the footing is rarely equal.

Her musical influences are evident in "Strong," incorporating shoegaze-inspired drum textures and melodic sensibilities reminiscent of her work with the alt-rock band Infinity Song. Boyd cites The Cranberries and other alternative bands from the nineties and 2000s as key inspirations.

Boyd's recent feature on Baby Keem's "Good Flirts," alongside Kendrick Lamar, has significantly expanded her audience. She noted the positive reception to her contribution and the subsequent interest in her own music. This collaboration occurred during a demanding tour schedule while she was unwell.

While appreciating the new listeners, Boyd acknowledges the pressure of having her work introduced through a different genre. She is navigating the establishment of her solo career, which she describes as a test of self-belief, especially after years of creating music with her siblings in Infinity Song.

Family support remains a cornerstone of Boyd's artistic journey, with her siblings and father actively cheering her on. She remains grounded by focusing on authentic self-expression and creating music that resonates with her personal truth. Her first solo project will be an EP designed to initiate a dialogue and offer listeners something to connect with.
