The track is part of the artist’s upcoming, long-awaited new album Small Victories
Following a 9-year hiatus, Winnipeg guitarist and singer-songwriter Romi Mayes is back and in emphatic style, showcasing a swaggering, dynamic appeal that feels as sexy and timeless as any new releases that you’re likely to hear this month on her brand new single ‘C’mon Baby’.
The track has an effortlessly bluesy and engrossing appeal to it throughout, with the artist feeling as confident and assured as someone who never took any time away with her emphatic vocal delivery and the cultured tone of her guitar. The track’s narrative takes on a similarly seductive tone, seeing the artist laying out the thoughts racing through her mind at a time where she wants someone but chooses not to say anything. The straight up, bluesy rock n roll aesthetic of the sound and the captivating nature of the artist’s style makes for a track that is easy to find yourself engrossed by and enamoured with, and makes for a colossal return from the artist.
“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.”
