ROME, which went onto reach #1 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart and established a record milestone as the song with the longest stint atop the chart for an independently released title.
Heralded as a “Summer Gem” by Rolling Stone, “Slow & Easy” (feat. Dirty Heads) continues to climb the charts receiving steady airplay and spin increases at Alternative radio each week.
Working together with powerhouse producer Dann Huff (Taylor Swift, Keith Urban, Josh Groban, Carrie Underwood), ROME has been busy writing and recording his new music at La Grange Studios in Nashville. In addition to his new hit single, the EP also includes “Why Me?”, “New Me”, “Black & Blue (Nashville Mix)” and “Got It Good”.
“This is the most fun I’ve ever had making music,” says ROME. “It’s the culmination of waking up every day and choosing to write something from the heart with my friends and family. Every note is intentional, every word means something real to me. The world is getting to know another side of me, and I couldn’t be more excited.”

About ROME
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.
