According to nme.com, Romy and Sampha have teamed up for collaborative cover of André 3000‘s “Me & My (To Bury Your Parents.)” The pair recorded their rendition of the former OutKast member’s song for the most recent edition of Sampha’s Apple Music 1 show Wave Therapy. Sampha spoke to Romy during a studio session when the artist was recording her debut solo album, Mid Air, which was released this past September. The two friends opened up about grief and the loss of their parents, as well as sharing the meanings behind particular songs.
In a statement, Sampha said: “That song really hit me deep as I’d already made my own song ‘No One Knows Me (Like The Piano)’ which was about my mother and there was times where I questioned releasing and writing a song that was so personal to me. And hearing one of my favourite musicians meditate on his loss of losing his parents made me feel OK to express myself in this way.”
