There’s a particular kind of silence that follows heartbreak—the kind that wraps itself around your chest for months, maybe years. Romy Dya’s “Cargo” sounds like the moment you decide to exhale again. It’s the slow easing open of a heart that’s spent too long barricaded, dressed in lush R&B production and held steady by her rich, velvet voice.
Built around that careful tension between caution and hope, “Cargo” is a song about re-learning trust. That quiet flutter in your stomach when someone feels safe enough to consider the idea of loving again. It’s not dramatic, not showy—just honest, warm and gorgeously paced. The chorus sticks, but not in the usual way. It lingers like something you once overheard and couldn’t forget.
The production feels intimate—sensual but spacious—with the kind of soulful glow you’d expect if Cleo Sol took a walk through a dim-lit L.A. studio. Co-created with Krunkadelic, Salva, and Dany, the track simmers rather than sparkles, and that’s where its strength lives. Romy’s voice is the centerpiece here—tender, tinged with vulnerability, but never fragile. You can hear the resilience woven through every note.
About Romy Dya:
If her voice sounds familiar, it’s because it probably is. From Martin Garrix and David Guetta’s chart-smashing “So Far Away”, to samples in tracks by Chris Brown, Drake, and J Hus, Romy Dya has spent years as the secret sauce behind many mainstream moments. But “Cargo”—and the upcoming “Cosmic Love” album—is her own story, told on her terms. With a background that spans both struggle and self-realisation, Romy’s music now feels like a kind of emotional activism: healing through honesty, connection through craft. Think Snoh Aalegra, Jorja Smith, but with her own lived-in Dutch soul stitched deep into every verse.
