Caroline Romano, a talented singer-songwriter hailing from Nashville, gifts us another delectable slice of alternative pop with her latest single, Mississippi Air, following the success of her previous release, Guts. The song enchants listeners with Romano’s irresistible tenderness, as her vocals gracefully glide through the song, while the guitars, infused with a delightful blend of noise and shoegaze influences, add a distinctive layer of texture to the composition. Regarding the lyrical content of this nostalgic and heartfelt ballad serves as a tribute to the artist’s home state of Mississippi and all the memories being home evokes.
Caroline Romano adds, “’Mississippi Air’ is really just a longing for something, or a feeling, that once was. It’s driving past a blur of trees spinning into a film reel, playing a movie of something you used to know, and briefly you are able to breathe. You’re able to know the love you once had without the pain associated with it. I think we all have those moments as we drive through familiar grounds that take us back to when something you’ve lost wasn’t lost at all. It is a deep surrounding type of breath you take in those moments. That’s ‘Mississippi Air’ — lavender bikinis, button downs, silver trucks, pools, and Harry Styles songs.”
