His band mates Jamie xx and Romy Madley Croft have shown it for a long time. Now Oliver Sim from The xx is following suit and releasing his first solo single: “Romance With A Memory” – produced by Jamie xx – has been streaming since Thursday. The accompanying music video stars artists and drag performers Charity Kase, HoSo Terra Toma and Gena Marvin.

Oliver Sim himself says of ‘Romance With A Memory’: ‘I’m thrilled, excited, ecstatic, full of endorphins and so over the moon to finally be able to share ‘Romance With A Memory’ with you all. This is the first song I’ve ever released under my own name, I really hope you all enjoy it. The song was produced by my dear older brother Jamie xx.” And lest anyone have to worry that this beginning could mean the end of The xx, he adds: “PS I still have a loving and happy relationship with the band, with Romy and Jamie.”
With his electro indie pop rock band The xx, Oliver Sim has released three (acclaimed) albums to date. The still current one is called I SEE YOU and was released in 2017.
The xx member Jamie xx released his solo debut IN COLOR in 2015 and singer Romy Madley Croft released her debut single “Lifetime” in September 2020. Sim hasn’t officially announced an album yet, but is planning to release more songs.
