Oliver Sim has dropped his first-ever solo single,
'Romance With A Memory'.
Produced by bandmate
Jamie xx, it comes alongside a lyric video starring artists and drag performers Charity Kase, HoSo Terra Toma, Gena Marvin, which you can check out below.
“I’m thrilled, excited, ecstatic, over-caffeinated and overjoyed to be sharing “Romance with a Memory” with you all,” says Sim. “Terrifyingly, this is the first song I’ve ever released under my own name, I really hope you all enjoy it. Produced by my dear older brother Jamie xx.
After The xx's 2017 album '
I See You', the band’s three members made a conscious decision to take some time to themselves. After a period of rest Sim began to work on solo material. Taking inspiration from his love of horror films and his own life, Sim put together a handful of demos and brought them to bandmate Jamie xx to flesh out.
