“A visual narrative that resonates with viewers through its meticulous shifts between the head’s search for logic and the heart’s longing.” - RELIX

Los Angeles, CA (November 12, 2025) - As ROME’s hit single “Slow & Easy” (feat. Dirty Heads) steadily continues its climb up the radio charts cracking the Top 10 at Alternative radio, the multi-platinum songwriter/producer and former frontman of Sublime with Rome today premieres the official music video for “Black & Blue” - a song off his new solo EP, GEMINI (5 Music Incorporated/The Orchard). 

Directed by Matt Leddo, the cinematic clip stunningly enhances the message of the song, capturing a darker side to ROME’s songwriting. ROME recently spoke with Relix Magazine (who are spotlighting the artist in their current issue) about the video,

“‘Black & Blue’ is a visual dive into that fragile space between reality and the stories we tell ourselves when we’re pushed too far,” says ROME. “The video walks that razor-thin line between delusion and consequence—between what’s imagined and what’s actually unfolding. It doesn’t spell out the truth; it just lets you sit inside the storm.”

“‘Black & Blue’ finds ROME relinquishing his inner dialogue. Presented like pledges of commitment to a significant other, he uses lyrics to acknowledge his wrongdoing and muster resilience in the face of tantalizing disillusionment—hate versus love. Sonically, Ramirez blends elements of soul through expressions of desire and social consciousness, with an island edge akin to his history with Sublime. The track bolsters a Nashville-inspired aptitude for narration like potent liquor-led honesty.” - RELIX

MULTI-PLATINUM songwriter-producer ROME continues to shine as a dynamic vocalist, deft guitar player, and charismatic performer. The world initially got to know the Northern California native when he landed the gig of a lifetime, fronting his favorite band Sublime at just 20 years old. Beyond playing amphitheaters and arenas worldwide, his voice and songcraft fluidly evolved across four Sublime with Rome albums: Yours Truly (2011), Sirens (2015), Blessings (2019), and Sublime with Rome (2024). As a co-writer and featured guest, he joined forces with Dirty Heads on the GOLD-certified staple “Lay Me Down,” among various other tunes. Emerging as a sought-after presence behind the scenes, he co-wrote songs for everyone from Selena Gomez to Enrique Iglesias. Simultaneously, he’s distinguished himself as the rare collaborator equally comfortable on a track with artists as diverse as Blues Traveler or Jelly Roll. Cultivating a vibrant and vital signature style, ROME dips in and out of Rock, Pop, Soul, Reggae, and Folk, magnifying the scope of his artistry more than ever before.
