Romy drops visual for album-teasing “Loveher” song

Romy unveils the visual for the new “Loveher” track coming off the forthcoming MidAir album. Listen, stream, read the lyrics, buy the song produced by Romy & Fred again..

‘Mid Air’ marks the first solo album to be released by the singer-songwriter — who is most well known for her work in The xx. It also features production from Stuart Price and Fred Again.., as well as a guest appearance from fellow bandmate, Jamie xx.

“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,” the press release said of the release.

“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.”

Set for release on September 8 via Young, Romy has also shared her latest single ‘Loveher’, which also serves as the opening track for the album.

Produced by Fred Again.., the track captures the same atmosphere as depicted in the full album — something the artist described as “emotional music to dance to”. It also contains a message of self-love and acceptance in its lyrics, as the singer hails the track as a declarative pop song about the intimacy of falling in love with a woman.

“Fred asked me, who could this be for?” Romy said, explaining the message behind the new track. “and I tentatively said… ‘maybe me?’”

In recent months Romy has shared two other singles which will also feature on the forthcoming album. The first of which was ‘Strong’, another collaboration with Fred Again.., and the second was the electronic dance hit ‘Enjoy Your Life’ — a feel-good anthem that saw Romy collaborate with bandmate Jamie xx.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Can you turn it up a bit more?
Thank you

[Verse]
Dance with me, shoulder to shoulder
Never in the world have two others been closer than us
Closer than us
Hold my hand under the table
It’s not that I’m not proud in the company of strangers
It’s just some things are for us

[Chorus]
Lover, you know, when they ask me, I’ll tell them
Won’t be ashamed, no, I can’t wait to tell them
Love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I
See in her eyes that she’s lost in the moment
Holding on tight and all that I know is
Love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I

[Verse]
Dance with me, shoulder to shoulder
Never in the world have two others been closer than us
Closer than us
Hold my hand under the table
It’s not that I’m not proud in the company of strangers
It’s just some things are for us

[Chorus]
Lover, you know, when they ask me, I’ll tell them
Won’t be ashamed, no, I can’t wait to tell them
Love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I
I see in her eyes that she’s lost in the moment
Holding on tight and all that I know is
Love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I

[Post-Chorus]
Lover, I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
Lover, I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her
I love her, I love her, I love her, I love her

[Bridge]
I don’t want to control her
I don’t want to change her
Or suffocate her, I just want to love her
I don’t want to control her
I don’t want to change her
Or suffocate her, I just want to–

[Outro]
Lover, you know, when they ask me, I’ll tell them
Won’t be ashamed, no, I can’t wait to tell them
Love her, I love her, I love her, I love her, I
