The xx’s Romy Teams Up With Fred again.. for Sublime Single, “Strong” – EDM.com

If music is anything, it’s therapy.

Just ask Romy of The xx, whose haunting new single, “Strong,” is a soul-stirring ode to resiliency. Produced in collaboration with Fred again.. and prolific record producer Stuart Price, the cathartic track is about learning how to process grief.

It’s only the second-ever solo track from Romy, who said “Strong” was inspired in part by the loss of her mother and written to “ultimately find a sense of release in the euphoria of music.” The single arrives ahead of her debut studio album, which is still in the works.
