"Precisely the sort of confounding of expectations we love to hear, and bodes well for a long,
interesting career"

Romare’s ‘Come Close To Me (Live Session 1)’ is a live edit of the single taken from his 2016 LP Love Songs: Part Two. Along with the track is an 80’s inspired music video a Mazda speeding off into a fading sunset. “From our first phone call discussing the concept for ‘Come Closer’ [Come Close To Me’ Ed]", says director Greg Barnes “Archie (Romare) and I were on the same page. We both wanted to push the limits of what a performance-based, session style video could be, and it was clear that meant smoke, lasers, and his Mazda.”
The single and video were released on the 27th June 2017 (premiered via Crack) on Ninja Tune. Just in time as Romare prepares for his upcoming headline show at KOKO on 11th November 2017.This will be his biggest and, surely, most impressive performance to date which will see him showcase his disco beats with a live band as well as DJ sets by Romare himself and a string of other companions late into the night.
