Romy and Sampha have come together to deliver "I’m on your team," a tender and reflective track that blends their unique talents with heartwarming precision.
Following an incredible year of solo successes - Romy with her introspective Mid Air and Sampha with the sophisticated follow-up to his Mercury-winning work, LAHAI - the pair’s latest release taps into a shared history and creative spark, enriched by co-producer Thomas Bartlett’s subtle artistry.
"I’m on your team" delves into the enduring, quieter sides of love and commitment. Romy explains that it’s about moving past the magic of new romance and choosing to put in the work, highlighting the honesty of her lyrics: "We’ve had the magic and dreaminess, but now we’ve been through things together, so here we are, and I’m putting in the work." Sampha adds his own insight, describing the beauty of showing up for each other and finding strength in unity, deepening the connection even further.
The song’s intimate performance video, crafted by London-based artist cooperative not/nowhere, captures Romy and Sampha in a stripped-back, vulnerable moment, allowing fans to experience the emotional honesty of their collaboration. It’s a raw and deeply personal portrayal of two artists at their most genuine, celebrating a bond that runs deeper than music.
"I’m on your team" isn’t just a duet; it’s a heartfelt ode to the complexities of love, connection, and loyalty - a powerful reminder that sometimes, the most profound love stories are the ones built on showing up, over and over again.
