Surely not the Romy of the xx who just released "Lifetime".

It’s not awful. Pretty straightforward generic 2010s indie pop rock. Not really what I was expecting but it’s better than the last two radio singles. Those who like their more indie rock singles will enjoy this one. Also, generic doesn’t equal bad in this case! It’s a decent song but it could’ve come out anytime between 2014 and now and fit in.

The melody the song rides on is terrific. It's hook grans you from verses to chorus. I like it, but would have really loved it with some better vocals that didn't sound so played out. That's why I prefer some female vocals. They tend not to sound so samey. With that said this song could make an appearance in my weekly charts to come? maybe?

I shouldn't like DREAMERS as I don't care for most of the other artists in their group, but I've never minded their singles that I've heard. Including this song. They're continuously catchy and are decent or better. I'm showing my age here, but when I saw that it featured DeathbyRomy, I immediately thought of:

DeathByRomy is that hot gothic chick in the MV. Considering I don't really like any of the new Alt songs on the chart I'm kinda digging this one.

Apparently Daniel Armbruster from Joywave co-produced and co-wrote this, which explains why this is better than expected.

A song that impulses you sing a long when you don't even know the lyrics yet is a great song. I wanna call this Indiegoth, but It also has a bit of panic! At The Disco Baroque pop. In fact I could see Brendon crooning lovely to this little jam. Also I checked out some other songs by this Deathbyromy chick, and No! Just no ,but right here she hits it nice. Download/check.
