Jessie Ware and Romy “Lift You Up,” together
“Lift You Up” sees the two pop icons embrace their friendship over a euphoric beat.
Last weekend was full of excitement across the pond at Glastonbury, with many memorable moments occurring at the four-day British festival. One of those was a surprise new song from Jessie Ware and Romy, which debuted during Ware’s Glastonbury set. The fun, disco-house track is now available to stream, providing the perfect soundtrack to countless summer nights.
“I’ve been a fan of Jessie’s music for a long time and it was amazing to finally work together after many years of friendship,” shared Romy about the track, “Sometimes we all need a friend there to lift us up and help us see things differently. A memory comes to mind of Jessie and I backstage at a festival when I was just starting to play my solo music live and I was still figuring things out. She hyped me up and helped me believe in myself when I was feeling unsure. The conversation we had really stayed with me and was definitely in my mind when we were writing the lyrics.”
“I was so excited to be in the room with my friend and to see how she works and to hear her beautiful voice,” added Ware, “I’m so proud of the record. It’s a song that’s about both of us being too hard on ourselves, and not believing enough in ourselves. I think anyone can relate to that.”
