The xx’s Romy Madley Croft announces solo album, premieres ‘Weightless’ on Instagram Live

Taking to Instagram live this evening, The xx’s Romy Madley Croft has announced that she will be releasing a solo album soon.

Talking on the stream Romy unveiled that “for the past couple of years I’ve been writing a lot of songs for other people, writing a lot of songs for myself, and I ended up with all these songs. So I’m going to be releasing a solo album, under my own name, Romy”

Going on to premiere ‘Weightless’, Romy also added “with my new music I’m excited to make it a lot more upbeat, although I’m playing it on a guitar it’s not going to be guitar music, it’s going to be a lot more fun. Not that guitar music isn’t fun.”
