The xx’s Romy has teamed up with Sampha for the new song “I’m on Your Team.” It comes with a video that the British musicians filmed at the London-based artist workers’ cooperative Not/Nowhere. Watch it below.
“It’s a love song but lyrically, it’s honest and truthful,” Romy said of “I’m on Your Team,” which she and Sampha made with co-producer and composer Thomas Bartlett. “Like, ‘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 added, “I love the idea of being part of a team, that you have to show up for each other, and from there you can create an even deeper connection.”
Romy released her first solo album, Mid Air, in 2023. She recently collaborated with her xx bandmates Jamie xx and Oliver Sim on the track “Waited All Night.”
Sampha also released an album in 2023, Lahai. He shared its deluxe edition, featuring three new tracks, earlier this month.
