After three successful albums with The xx, Romy’s solo career began with a bang. Her debut solo single ‘Lifetime’ made waves in 2020, garnering widespread acclaim. She followed that up with a collaboration with HAAi and Fred again.. on their hit track ‘Lights Out,’ which has already amassed over 20.58 million streams. Romy is not just a pop artist; she’s also a talented songwriter. She has co-written all three of The xx’s acclaimed albums and was part of Dua Lipa’s Grammy-winning hit single ‘Electricity’ with Mark Ronson and Diplo’s Silk City, in addition to crafting songs for artists like King Princess and Halsey.
Romy’s debut solo album, ‘Mid Air,’ released via Young / Remote Control, showcases her talent and versatility. She worked alongside producers Fred again.. and Stuart Price (known for working with Madonna, Kylie Minogue, and Dua Lipa) to create an album that’s been hailed as one of the year’s best pop records. ‘Mid Air’ includes singles like ‘Strong,’ ‘Loveher,’ ‘The Sea,’ and more. The album perfectly captures Romy’s love for dancefloor classics and classic songwriting, blending euphoria, escapism, sadness, and melancholy into a compelling musical journey.
For Romy, ‘Mid Air’ encapsulates the feeling of community in clubs, which offer an escape from the harsh realities of the world. It’s that sense of connection, even if she isn’t the life of the party, that comes to life in her music. Romy’s live show promises to deliver emotional electronic anthems that will set the dancefloor ablaze.
