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.
The "playful, spunky, and unpredictable" songs on Mom have been seen as "folksy" garage pop, "steady" grunge and indie rock. [1] [2] [3]
