Caroline Romano – Mississippi Air

Nashville’s Caroline Romano has become a regular fixture on these Alfitude pages. This emerging songstress continues to release powerful sonic gems, and today’s unveiling of new single ‘Mississippi Air’ is no exception.

Atmospheric and enchanting in character, the track treats listeners to an intoxicating blend of alt-pop, indie and rock. Explaining the song’s inspiration, Romano says:

“‘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.”

As a 21-year old solo artist, Romano has already amassed more than a million career streams on Spotify alone, and impressively commands almost 50k listeners on the platform. If you’ve only now just discovered this artist, then be sure to check out her 2022 debut album, ‘Oddities and Prodigies’ (available here).
