Praise for Mid Air

“Extraordinary, winning songs from The xx vocalist” – NME ★★★★★

“One of the most confident dance records of recent years” – The New Yorker

“A lightning bolt of queer bliss” – The i Newspaper

“One of the year’s best pop records” – Wall Street Journal

“After a winning career as the lead singer of The xx, it should not come as a surprise that Romy Madley Croft’s debut album Mid Air is as good as it is. Yet it bears repeating that this electronica-suffused, trance-heavy new project sees the singer boldly taking herself into new territory.” – Billboard

“An eleven strong homage to an unforgettable era, but it’s Romy’s autobiographical candour that adds a depth beyond the record’s inarguable ecstasy” – DIY Magazine ★★★★½

“Romy Madley Croft emerges boldly and brightly, female pronouns everywhere, full tilt into piano driven house music in all its
euphoric, bittersweet glory” – MOJO

“A cause for celebration” – Daily Star

“Euro-dance maximalist masterpiece” – them.

UK singer, songwriter, producer and DJ Romy releases the latest video from her highly acclaimed debut solo album Mid Air. Starring actor Maisie Williams, directed by Romy’s wife and close visual collaborator Vic Lentaigne, and with Schwarzkopf as official hair partner, the ‘She’s On My Mind’ video captures the thrill of an unfolding night out and is a perfect match for the song’s playful euphoria.

Co-produced by Fred again.., Stuart Price and Avalon Emerson, ‘She’s On My Mind’ has become an album highlight for fans and critics alike, described by The Guardian as simply “fantastic” and Pitchfork as “unreservedly joyful” among a host of accolades.

Meanwhile, fresh from completing a sold-out UK, European and US headline tour, Romy will grace the Australian stages of Beyond The Valley, Wildlands and Field Day this NYE as well as her own headline shows which are in hot demand.

The video and tour news round off an incredible year for Romy. Released in September via Young / Remote Control, her solo album Mid Air is one of 2023’s most rapturously received debuts, described by NME as “extraordinary”, the Wall Street Journal as “one of the year’s best pop records” and by the New Yorker as “one of the most confident dance records of recent years”. Meanwhile The i Newspaper added another five star review, explaining the album is a “lightning bolt of queer bliss” and Rolling Stone UK celebrated Romy as “a singularly brilliant dance talent in her own right”. This all culminated in Romy being nominated at next year’s 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards for Mid Air’s ‘Strong’ in the Best Dance / Electronic Recording category.

Working alongside producers Fred again.. and Stuart Price, as well as Romy’s bandmate Jamie xx, Mid Air is 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. Mid Air is an album that unifies dancefloors, distilling Romy’s love of club classics and classic song writing and finding the sweet spot – like much of Romy’s favourite music – between euphoria, escapism, sadness and melancholy.
