Romy Madley Croft with The XX live in Manchester (Gary Mather for Live4ever)
It’s another collaboration between Romy and producer Fred Again…
The XX‘s Romy Madley Croft has shared her second solo track, this one entitled Strong.
There are similar credits here as to the into-lockdown released solo debut Lifetime as Romy reflects on shared loss:
“Whilst writing the lyrics, I was thinking about my cousin Luis; we both have the shared experience of our mums passing away when we were young.”
“I recognize in him the same trait I have, which is to try and hold emotions down and put on a brave face. The song was a way to connect with these feelings, offer support, and ultimately find a sense of release in the euphoria of music. Luis is with me on the single cover and in the music video, too, which was really special.”
