Romeo is the second studio album by Irish-Scottish music producer and musician Sega Bodega. It was released via his Nuxxe label on 12 November 2021. It features French actor and singer Charlotte Gainsbourg, and Venezuelan music producer and artist Arca.[1][2][3][4]
It was preceded by the single releases of "Only Seeing God When I Come",[5] "Angel On My Shoulder",[1] and "I Need Nothing from You".[6]
The album details a conceptual, fictionalised relationship between Sega Bodega and "a girlfriend made entirely of light, named Luci".[7] He has described the album as "the record I always wanted to make".[2] The album also explores themes of close connection to others, with the single "Angel on My Shoulder" being about the idea of never meeting a close friend, and "Um Um" being inspired by the memory of the late producer Sophie, whom Sega Bodega was close to.[7]
The album art, and its respective singles and promotional art, were shot by Aidan Zamiri.
