I Love My Mom is the debut record by North Carolina-based musician Indigo De Souza. It was self-released in June 2018 but was given a full re-release by Saddle Creek Records in June of 2021.
Composition
The "playful, spunky, and unpredictable" songs on Mom have been seen as "folksy" garage pop, "steady" grunge and indie rock.[1][2][3]

A sense of fluidity is also reflected in the album's sound, which pushes beyond the steady grunge of I Love My Mom towards neo-soul, pop, and plenty of good old fashioned guitar jams.
