The single will be accompanied by a music video, that is currently in production, due out later in the summer. This EP will also be followed up by a full length debut solo album, expected out later in the year. Rome comments “I’ve been working on my solo material for almost a year now and I’m so excited to share some of the songs. This EP is a taste of my forthcoming album, and just a huge step for me creatively. I can’t wait for everyone to hear it.”

Here is Rome covering Amy Whinehouse’s Rehab right after her passing. DJ Rocky Rock had the sample to use and they recorded while on tour with 311. Rome Ramirez said you can even hear 311 sound checking at one point during the clip in the background. Not bad for something done so soon. It’s almost reached a half million hits and was even shown on TMZ. Enjoy (if you haven’t already).
