Winnipeg’s own Romi Mayes has made a striking return with her new single, “C’mon Baby,” after a nine-year hiatus. This lead single from her upcoming album Small Victories reintroduces Mayes with a swagger that feels both timeless and fresh. Borrowing inspiration from Tom Petty’s “Honey Bee,” “C’mon Baby” exudes a seductive and bluesy vibe, perfectly capturing the tension of unspoken desire.
Romi’s distinctive raspy vocals are complemented by a groove-filled guitar hook, making the track an alluring and compelling listen from start to finish. The narrative of the song, born from a night stranded in Batchawana Bay, Ontario, adds a layer of authenticity and depth to its lyrics.
With accolades including multiple Western Canadian Music Awards and a Juno nomination, Mayes continues to showcase her exceptional talent and dedication to her craft. Her return with “C’mon Baby” promises to be a significant highlight in her already impressive career.
