New R&B single by Spicee Preistley, written and produced by Cherie Em, honors mothers and mother figures with a heartfelt tribute inspired by a 90th birthday celebration.
(YourDigitalWall Editorial):- Pensacola, Florida May 4, 2026 (Issuewire.com) – A new Mother’s Day song for 2026, “More Than a Mother,” is scheduled for release on May 5, offering a tribute to mothers and mother figures through a contemporary R&B sound. The single is performed by Spicee Preistley and written and produced by Cheryl Mulrain, who works professionally under the name Cherie Em.
The song was originally created as a personal gift to mark Mulrain’s mother’s 90th birthday. According to the songwriter, the project developed into a broader reflection on the role women play in families and communities, particularly those whose contributions extend beyond traditional definitions of motherhood.
“This started as something very personal,” Mulrain said. “But it quickly became clear that many people have someone in their lives who has been more than a mother to them.”
“More Than a Mother” blends elements of R&B, soul, and inspirational music, with lyrics that focus on appreciation, legacy, and emotional connection. The track highlights the often-overlooked roles women serve, including caregiver, mentor, and provider.
The release comes ahead of Mother’s Day, a period when radio stations, streaming platforms, and media outlets typically feature songs about mothers, family, and appreciation. Independent DJs and community radio programmers have already identified the track as a potential addition to Mother’s Day playlists and dedication segments.
In conjunction with the release, organizers have introduced a social media initiative, #MoreThanAMother, encouraging audiences to share personal tributes to women who have had a meaningful impact on their lives. The campaign invites participants to post photos or videos using the song while describing the influence of a mother or mother figure.
The initiative is designed to align with broader Mother’s Day content trends on social media, where user-generated tributes and storytelling continue to drive engagement across platforms.
