With their 2022 breakthrough, Household Name, Momma’s Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten provided a solid body of proof as to why they should become just that: a full-speed listen brim full of dreamy pop hooks with big bites of fuzzed out bliss that ensured you didn’t forget it. “I Want You (Fever)”, the lead single from the Brooklyn band’s forthcoming fourth studio effort, Welcome to My Blue Sky, doubles down on that lush-in-bold attitude. It’s just that this time, it’s at the expense of a romantic rival. “Take it apart and tear her to shreds / You can’t play it off you can’t play pretend,” pines one verse with a bloodlust over an elixir of sugar-surging guitars and swirling samplework that’s exhilarating enough to justify turning the the other cheek toward violent fantasy. “Really can’t believe she doesn’t feel it / Even I can see that you don’t mean it / Everybody knows that this is going down / We’re the talk of the town.” Even if it all just amounts to a case of limerence getting the best of them, Momma’s red hot fever feels like a dream come true in this moment.
