Songs of the year, number 22: Romy - Loveher (Official Video)


An understated slice of slinky EDM from one third of the XX, Romy's initial release from her debut solo album Mid Air is a love letter to the gay clubs she grew up in. You could imagine it playing on innumerable turntables in innumerable clubs over the summer, creating perfect moments all over the place.

The mood is initially pensive and stripped back, intimate and almost whispered. But it's one of those songs that builds as it goes along, increasing the intensity and sense of euphoria as it goes along. It's a song that will endure, and only improve with age.
