Romanie, the brainchild of Belgian-born, Melbourne-based singer-songwriter Romanie Assez, has just announced her debut album, Are We There Yet? The titular track, Are We There Yet?, takes center stage as a raw reflection of perennial restlessness and the relentless pursuit of personal dreams. Amidst the lockdown’s stifling stagnation, she unearths a genuine urgency and frustration with missed opportunities. With excellent vocals, an irresistibly catchy melody, and a sprinkling of 90s indie ethos, the song resonates deeply, capturing the inner struggles of fixating on the future. Get ready to immerse yourself in Romanie’s indie brilliance.
“The idea for the song came from a prominent feeling in my life where I always feel like I’m looking towards the next goal, dreaming about the next thing. Always running out of time and feeling like seconds are slipping through my fingers. Especially throughout lockdown, I felt like I was aging but nothing else was happening and I got so frustrated by what felt like missed opportunities.” Romanie
