Following the crossover success of her recent single ‘Strong‘ – a collaboration with Fred again.. that has become her biggest solo song to date – Romy returns with new single ‘Enjoy Your Life’. Released via Young and premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record, ‘Enjoy Your Life’ features the voice of Beverly Glenn-Copeland and is produced by Fred again..Stuart Price and Jamie xx.

Enjoy Your Life’ is inspired by a special evening when pop icon Robyn took Romy to see American-Canadian singer and songwriter Beverly Glenn-Copeland perform in Stockholm. Although the whole performance blew her away, one line of one track in particular stopped Romy in her tracks: “My mother says to me ‘enjoy your life’” from Glenn-Copeland’s ‘LaVita. It’s a line that was particularly poignant for singer, songwriter and DJ Romy, whose own mother passed away when she was just eleven.

Providing both personal motivation and musical inspiration, the lyric kickstarted the creation of ‘Enjoy Your Life‘ alongside the stellar production team, before Copeland ultimately gave his blessing to sample ‘LaVita‘. A deeply personal song with truly universal appeal, it’s a reminder that life is short and the latest example of what Romy calls “emotional music to dance to.” The single is accompanied by a video directed by Romy’s wife, the filmmaker and photographer Vic Lentaigne, which features intimate fly-on-the-wall moments with Romy alongside footage of Romy’s mother.

A now-legendary pop writer Romy has co-written each of The xx’s three acclaimed albums, Dua Lipa’s Grammy-winning hit single ‘Electricity’ (with Mark Ronson and Diplo’s Silk City), plus songs for King Princess and Halsey, among others. Meanwhile Romy is set to make live appearances around the world over the summer, including a forthcoming live performance at Coachella.
