ReviewsClash (Magazine) - "'Take Me Back' is a promising opener, with wall-to-wall, euphoric electronics. High Flying Birds vibes imbue the bones of this excellent introductory track..."
Additional informationMuch like his self-titled debut, Young Romance, the shimmering sophomore set from German singer/songwriter Roosevelt, is a synth-driven exercise in retro-flavored indie dance rock. However, while its predecessor was a neon-washed, digital throbber, Young Romance expands Roosevelt's palette with bright, uplifting anthems similar to Miike Snow, Capital Cities, and Currents-era Tame Impala. The John Carpenter-meets-"Thriller" opener "Take Me Back" provides a bridge between releases before opening the skies with the joyous "Under the Sun." From there, Young Romance is equal parts dreamy and upbeat. Standouts "Illusions" and "Lucia" glimmer and shine, recalling the collaborations between Kevin Parker and Mark Ronson on the latter's Uptown Special. Elsewhere, Roosevelt channels the anthemic indie rock of Bastille with "Losing Touch" and pays appropriate homage to the disco era with the Chic-guitars and cowbells of "Shadows" and "Forgive," which features chillwave producer Washed Out. Although there's nothing groundbreaking on this album, Young Romance is warm and pleasant from start to finish, ideal for sun-kissed afternoons and carefree nights. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
