Romy - Mid Air

[passthatdutch]

This album is everything I wanted and more. Love the dance direction that most of the Xx have gone in as solo artists.

 

[Penelope]

This is just lovely so far

 

[Jark]

it really is a lovely mix of breezy, shimmery melancholy and straight up BANGERS

 

[RJN]

Ok I’m going in

 

[RJN]

I think the xx’s first and third album still hold up

Weightless

I haven't listened to the album yet but absolutely loving She's On My Mind

Just trying to figure out which disco chestnut it borrows from/sails very close to.

Have the album (and bonus disc with Lifetime) on order with Rough Trade but no sign of movement there yet.

Weightless

That’s my takeaway favourite from the second listen

 

[Art Decade]

Obsessed with One Last Try.

On 6 Music now doing a live set from Maida Vale and its dreamy as fuck.

 

[Jark]

very into Did I right now. it's all so good though.

#6 in the mids. hope it holds top 10!

 

[Jark]

still #7 yesterday. She's On My Mind has totally taken over

Spoiler: love a good STICKER

also, tour!

Still haven't got my copy but I have been enjoying in the meantime. It really is a lovely, short but sweet set. She's On My Mind is such an Eurodisco joy.

Enjoy Your Life sits so much better in the context of the album too.

 

[Jark]

she's my first wall art

 

[Jark]

in at... 15 not too bad I guess, but top ten seemed so locked!

 

[Jark]

Mid Air is steadily approaching AOTY territory for me now... top 3 for sure. something about it is really giving me those euphoric, early 00s dance-pop feels a la Light Years and particularly Fever era Kylie... it's so tight, fun, fresh and elegant, and super well produced, with Romy's voice always in exactly the right place in the mix.

She's On My Mind is doing pretty well on spotify and RULING the Jarkette Hot 100 right now.

SOMM is up for lyric of the year

She's on my mind
But I wish she was under me
There's a space in between us
And I don't know how to reach

 

[Jark]

great collab single

 

[Jark]

she's also touring club mid air in the UK for another leg, this album did great for her in the end. would love new solo music SOON though!
