Saturday 2nd September 2023

Release date: Out now Label: XL Recordings

Romy releases “The Sea”, the latest single to be taken from her highly-anticipated solo debut album. Produced by Fred again.. and Stuart Price and premiered as BBC Radio 1’s Hottest Record, it’s another prime example of what Romy describes as “emotional music to dance to”, a sun-kissed love song that is set to soundtrack long summer nights for years to come.

“The Sea” is accompanied by a stunning video courtesy of director Mollie Mills. The video – supported by global fashion platform FARFETCH - stars Romy alongside her wife and longtime visual collaborator Vic Lentaigne and is available to watch here <add link>

Meanwhile, excitement continues to build for Romy’s long awaited debut solo album. The UK singer, songwriter and DJ, who previously released three acclaimed albums with her band The xx, will release Mid Air on 8th September via Young. Mid Air is an album about celebration, sanctuary and salvation on the dance floor. It's an album that deals with love, grief, relationships, identity and sexuality and is a love letter to the queer clubs where Romy found community and connection. It’s a coming-out album in a way, although she came out in her personal life a long time ago, but it’s also a coming-through album – through grief and heartache, towards euphoria.
