Romy Madley Croft: Mid Air CLR | LTD versión en vinilo LP en en color de edición limitada edición. Esta edición en concreto se lanzó en Europa y Estados Unidos en la editorial Young (5) el día 8. septiembre 2023.

"Mid Air" is an album about celebration, retreat and redemption on the dance floor. It's an album that deals with love, grief, relationships, identity and sexuality. It's Romy's love letter to the queer clubs where she found community and connection.

The creation of the album, her first solo project, was a process of self-discovery outside of The xx and also a time to fall in love. There is a moment, an intermezzo, in several tracks on "Mid Air" where Romy's voice softly sings the words "it hit me in mid air". This realisation leads us straight into "Enjoy Your Life", the album's second single, which sounds like a revelation. "My momma told me 'enjoy your life'," sings musician Beverly Glenn-Copeland on the chorus - excerpted from his album "La Vita". When Romy first heard that line, it blew her away - a reminder in the depths of sadness that life is short and one should enjoy it to the fullest. Seek joy, connection, love. While the verses express the most difficult time after the loss of parents, the chorus is a kind of celebratory soothing. Pain and joy dance together. Romy's favorite songs are what she calls "emotional dance music" - songs like Bronski Beat's "Smalltown Boy" or Robyn's "Dancing On My Own." It's music like that that inspired "Mid Air," music that brings people together in clubs, especially queer clubs.

Romy started DJing in London's queer clubs as a teenager and sees "Mid Air" as a throwback to that time, a pop-dance album that evokes the places where she first fell in love with the genre and its power to move people. The fact that the album was mostly made in private, when Romy was homesick for clubs, made this impulse to create an album that would find a home in a club even more important. The collaboration with Fred Again... and Stuart Price (who produced one of Romy's favourite albums, Madonna's 'Confessions on a Dancefloor'), as well as Jamie xx, a very close friend, member of The xx and collaborator on 'Enjoy Your Life', provided the perfect balance between emotion and danceability. While Romy didn't expect an album like this to ever come to fruition when she began writing with Fred in 2018, "Mid Air" takes us through the highs and lows - one night, one relationship, one sadness and one healing - and ultimately ends in a place of optimism.

The closing track, "She's on My Mind," is a deliberate homage to the disco song that was played at the end of the night in hipster queer clubs like Paradise Garage, where separated dancing bodies were found. It's the end of an album that celebrates the rare but fleeting moments of ecstasy that can only be found in dance music. Or as Romy puts it, "The sense of community in clubs provides an escape from the reality of the world. I may not be the life and soul of the party, but being in the atmosphere of the club, observing and connecting - it makes me feel less alone and more alive."
