STREAM/SHARE HERE
She's back! After a 9-year hiatus, Winnipeg blues-roots guitarist and singer-songwriter Romi Mayes returns with her new single 'C'mon Baby' out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.
'C'mon Baby' is the lead single from Romi's new album Small Victories set for release on June 28th. On this track, Romi borrows from Tom Petty's Honey Bee, creating a sexy, seductive song about what goes on in your mind when you want someone but choose to say nothing.
"I started writing this song in 2010 when I was driving home from a solo tour to Manitoba from Ontario," says Romi. "The highway outside of Sault Ste Marie was closed all the way to Wawa, so a line up of semi trucks and I were all stuck in Batchawana Bay for the night. Luckily, there was a motel on the highway and they had just enough rooms, food, and beer to keep us happy. I played an impromptu show for the truckers and then went to my room. No cell service, a white noise fuzzy tv screen and a blizzard. I stayed up all night and only came up with a couple of the parts, but played it over and over again til sun-up."
Romi Mayes is one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today. She's become a household name in the international music scene and relentlessly continues to support artists in the Canadian music industry through the path she has paved with her company, Curbside Concerts. Over the years, Mayes has garnered three Western Canadian Music Awards (WCMAs) for Songwriter of the Year, two WCMAs for Album of The Year and Blues Artist of The Year, and a Juno Award nomination for Album of the Year. Now on the footsteps of her long awaited 7th album Small Victories, Mayes and her phenomenal band will once again take her sweet and raspy vocals and fine tuned edgy songwriting to stages across the globe.
'C'mon Baby' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit romimayes.ca.
