Romanie Premieres New Song “Uh Oh” on ABC triple j
Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Romanie is back. She premiered a new song “Uh Oh” on ABC triple j Home and Hosed with Ash McGregor.
The song is her first music in two years since the 2023 debut album “Are We There Yet?”.
Romanie co-wrote the song with Hamish Mitchell and co-produced with Sam Swain.
The song explores themes of personal turbulence, health struggles and homesickness.
Romanie said of the song, “I was going through a rough patch in life with some health scares and homesickness and caught up with my friend Hamish Mitchell, we wrote ‘Uh Oh’ over a couple of hours. A few months later we started playing it live - it’s a really fun song to play live. This was the first time taking my live band into the studio and I think Sam Swain captured our energy really well. The scream got added towards the end of the session mainly as a joke but everything evolved so naturally and we kept it in.”- The accompanying music video was directed by Young Ha Kim and Romanie Assez.
Romanie said of the video, “For the video, I emailed about 20 different car wreckers around Victoria and some of them were not super enthusiastic: one of them got back to me just saying ‘Go get fucked. Sent from my iPhone’. Darren from Harvey Wreckers and Troy from Gary Macs both replied with enthusiastic good news a few days before I was about to abandon the idea, and the locations were so amazing – the whole day I was smiling and giggling amongst the wrecks.” -
