Romy unveils her latest single "The Sea"
Romy releases “The Sea” as the latest single to be taken from her highly-anticipated debut solo album.
Produced by Fred again.. and Stuart Price and premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record, it’s another example of what Romy describes as “emotional music to dance to”.
“The Sea” is accompanied by a stunning video courtesy of director Mollie Mills. The video, which is supported by global fashion platform FARFETCH, stars Romy alongside her wife and longtime visual collaborator Vic Lentaigne.
“Romy always evokes this feeling of euphoria – and with this track specifically touching on wrestles of romance – through a queer lens, it intuitively evoked something about this kind of intertwinement of bodies, both in intimacy and in club culture," says Mills.
"I had loosely referenced Louise Bourgeois’ sculpture “The Couple” which actualises that soul-rupturing entanglement of falling in love – and this is what we wanted to feel in these seascape scenes. This light, blissful, euphoric togetherness that happens alongside these memory slices of euro-heaven. There’s a power that can live in the simplicity of these domestic moments between two queer bodies too – when I think back to the loves of summers past, the memories I have are always the small details, a billowing curtain or a lovers hair after they shower”.
"The Sea" follows previous singles, "Enjoy Your Life", and "Loveher".
"The Sea" is out now. Romy's debut album, Mid Air, arrives on 8 September via Young, and is available to pre-order.
