SINGLE PREMIERE :: Forest Porridge - "Little Mama" (Live)

FOREST PORRIDGE - “Little Mama” (Live)

Premiered via Manor Records Feb. 14th 2020.

Recorded live at Colorado Sound Recording. (Denver, CO)

“Forest Porridge  gives us a snippet of his forthcoming live album with "Little Mama." The track opens with the line, "hey, little mama. Let me whisper in your ear." Although reminiscent of Ying Yang Twins' "Wait," (if only in my own twisted mind) this track is all its own. 

Deep swelling reverb paints the sound-scape with broad strokes, the details emerging from frontman Colin Martin's intimate lyrics and drummer Dan Costello's gliding and intricate latin-inspired drum beat. The live setting builds on the intimacy of the song itself, with panning close-ups of Martin as he sways and croons over lost love. 

In "Little Mama," Martin pleads for vulnerability and honesty, which is exactly what his audience gets with this video. If this track is indicative of the full live album, it's sure to be full of heartbreak, emotional intimacy, and some of Forest Porridge's best work yet.”
