Romy has dropped a new song titled "The Sea." The single will appear on Romy's upcoming solo debut, Mid Air, which will be released on September 8 via Young.

Talking about “The Sea” video, director Mollie Mills said in a statement: “Romy always evokes this feeling of euphoria — and with this track specifically touching on wrestles of romance — through a queer lens, it intuitively evoked something about this kind of intertwinement of bodies, both in intimacy and in club culture. I had loosely referenced Louise Bourgeois’ sculpture The Couple which actualizes that soul-rupturing entanglement of falling in love — and this is what we wanted to feel in these seascape scenes.

"This light, blissful, euphoric togetherness that happens alongside these memory slices of euro-heaven. There’s a power that can live in the simplicity of these domestic moments between two queer bodies too — when I think back to the loves of summers past, the memories I have are always the small details, a billowing curtain or a lovers hair after they shower.”

"The Sea" follows previous Mid Air singles "Loveher," "Enjoy Your Life" and "Strong."
