album Romy - 'Mid Air'

[Virgos Groove]

I'm so hyped for this. The first three singles were amazing. (I haven't heard The Sea yet since I don't wanna spoil too much of the album.)

This Album isn‘t my cup of tea. I hoped for more songs in the style of Strong but most songs aren‘t that powerful

[Unoriginal]

the weakest xx solo debut imo. still five or six keepers 

[lola4789]

Great album, could’ve been a song or two longer but really loved listening to it!  Was worth the wait!

[Guy12345]

I love it. Weightless was An Experience.

so much great releases today.

[Daddy]

It's ok. Some great album tracks but overall I'm gonna pass on the vinyl cop.

[Draper.]

The best tracks are the ones released pre album. Twice, She’s On My Mind and Did I are cute, the second half is definitely stronger. No reason for Lifetime to not be a bonus track tho.

[Virgos Groove]

Could've been better, but still a good album. Love the house and trance influences.

 

The only track I'm not feeling was One Last Try. Shocked it's only 2:41 because it felt like it was droning on for 5 minutes.

[AndresVanDeKamp]

Yeah I love this! Only complaint would be that it’s too short. Especially with Lifetime right there just to pad out a few more minutes of runtime.

[Ewan Chaos]

WOW fantastic album! I know people seem a bit mixed on her & Oliver's solo stuff, but I've been loving all 3's solo works a lot. Not sure if I like this more than Jamie's album from 2015, but wow I love it. Great album that wears its 00s influences on its sleeve, for the best.

The album is cute and has no skips but for me Strong and Did are the only tracks that really stand out, maybe The Sea as well... I just wish she took some more risks production-wise, sometimes it feels a bit safe for what one would expect of someone from The XX.

Twice is a 10, if you get it you get it. 
 

It’s a cute album, might need to give it a little more time. 

[Joesuxx]

Gonna give it a play today.  Now this is out though I want an XX project next year. 

[Uncatena]

no shade but wtf is this lmao

[HonourableVomit]

Hideous Bastard and especially In Colour do clear this but she's obviously going for a very different vibe. All three of them have such distinct personalities and musical styles. It's not bad at all, just less cerebral I'd say.  

[M.R.]

Weightless is a masterpiece.

[Jukebox]

Checking this out tonight, are there any songs in the vein of Strong? 

[lola4789]

One Last Try is a bop

Unfortunately not. The other songs are much more chill. 

[Joesuxx]

Oh wow. This is so good. Dare I say I prefer it to HB, even though they don’t need comparisons. This is such a cohesive project, and her influences shine through. This record reminds me of a more promising time in UK dance music and I LOVE IT. Stayed away from most of the singles and The Sea is currently my fave.
