Romy has announced her debut solo album, 'Mid Air'.

The UK singer, songwriter and DJ, best known for her work with her band The xx, will release the album via Young on 8th September. A self-described album about "celebration, sanctuary and salvation on the dance floor," the release deals with love, grief, relationships, identity and sexuality, and is a "love letter to the queer clubs where Romy found community and connection."

The 11-track release sees the English artist - full name Romy Madley Croft - working alongside producers Fred again.. and Stuart Price, as well as fellow The xx bandmate Jamie xx on recent single 'Enjoy Your Life'. The album's title track features vocals from Beverly Glenn-Copeland.

Accompanying the news is the release's latest single 'Loveher'. Doubling up as the album opener and the first song to be written for the record, the song is a declarative pop song about the intimacy of falling in love with a woman. Romy said: "Fred asked me, who could this be for? And I tentatively said... 'maybe me?'"
