Young Romance is the second studio album by German musician and producer Roosevelt, released on 28 September 2018 through City Slang.
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".
's Luke Pearson wrote that Roosevelt "rais[es] the bar throughout in terms of production and overall tightness, while adding some funk-lite guitar work for good measure as well".
[4] Tara Joshi of The Observer opined that the album contains "an airbrushed, off-kilter kind of pop, and while he still isn't pushing the envelope, Young Romance is a pleasant enough listen".
[1] Reviewing the album for PopMatters, Pryor Stroud found that "Roosevelt's '80s-indebted yet EDM-inflected confections aren't as anthemic as he wants them to be, but they're almost uniformly infectious".
