    Intimate yet ambitious. Romy delivers a raw and powerful statement that will make you want to dance from beginning to end. Solid candidate for AOTY.

    It’s just amazing. I kinda feel the vibe from late 90s, early 00s. Romy is a genius

    The result is a meticulously crafted homage to the strobe-lit, chart-topping dance music of the 1990s and 2000s—though, at times, it misses some of the tension that made Romy’s songwriting with the xx so vital.

    Romy may have been the last member of the xx to release a solo album, but it was worth the wait: Mid Air's joyful, thoughtful version of dance music is utterly true to her.

    Mid Air is a must-listen for anyone looking for a sentimental electronic dance anthem or for a song to say the words we are sometimes afraid to say.
