Listen: Jessie Ware and the xx's Romy Debut a New Uplifting Anthem

Emell Adolphus READ TIME: 1 MIN.

Jessie Ware and the xx's Romy just ended Pride Month with a banger.

As reported by Pitchfork, the two British musicians revealed a brand-new collaboration on stage at Glastonbury called "Lift You Up," produced by the legendary Stuart Price. It's the first time the two acts are collaborating, and, judging by the fan reaction to the track, something tells us it won't be their last.

"My song of the summer sorted out," wrote one commentator under a video of Ware and Romy's performance on YouTube.

"Can't believe it! Depression is cured!" added another.

And then, of course, "Mothers is mothering!" wrote another commentator.

Although this marks their first collaboration on stage, Romy has previously worked with Ware on her 2014 album, "Tough Love," co-writing the song "Share It All."

In a press release about "Lift You Up," which is also on streaming services, Romy shared that she has been a fan of Ware for a long time.

"It was amazing to finally work together after many years of friendship," said Romy. "We wanted this song to be uplifting, celebrate togetherness, and I can't think of a better way to share it with everyone than at Glastonbury."

Ware said she was equally excited to share the stage with her friend.

"To see how she works and to hear her beautiful voice, I'm so proud of the record," she said. "It's a song that's about both of us being too hard on ourselves, and not believing enough in ourselves. I think anyone can relate to that."
