Róisín Murphy-Overpowered

every time this thread gets bumped I am reminded that I am a dumbass for not owning everything this woman has recorded

both of you otm. her voice!

also it totally sounds like she's singing/yelling I DON'T HAVE TO FEEL YOUR JUNK-JUNK-JUNK-JUNK

Very few albums have aged as well as Overpowered.

it's a shame that the rest of the crookers album is so bad. they got it right on this one though. there are a few others that are ok, but this one just clicks.

I can't believe i like a Crookers track. I'm gonna get kicked off the Erol forum for this. ::hangs head in shame::

(oh wait, I'm already banned.)

But seriously. These days, Roisin Murphy could sing over my fax machine and it would still be the most amazing track in the world.

lol

I don't know how I managed to avoid hearing it (or even knowing it existed, for that matter), but her cover of "Slave to Love" is AH-MAY-ZING.

johnny fever come lately

It's not like the maxi for "Movie Star" was all over the place here in the US, so yeah...I'm a little late.

it was just an easy pun off yr name tbh

i remember hearing 'let me know' when i was visiting my sister in seattle, it was on the radio & at first i thought it was some lost cut from 'the perfect beats' tommy boy comps or something ... beat was super 80s electro, but the vocals were way more contemporary sounding ... tripped my shit up, esp when i didnt realize it was roisin so i was feeling it context-less. i was just like, 'what an inventive blend'

listening to this for the 1st time, very disorienting, cuz i keep hearing the ghost of ferry's original in the back of mind, as accompaniment. synth arpeggios & vox are very nice, but damn, it feels way too fast! want it to all crawl a bit more slavishly towards the feet of love. pace is less distressing during the verses.

u like girl talk

"Momma's Place" is awesome!

Yep, it is, Alfred. I'm so eager for a proper follow-up to Overpowered.

Momma's Place is pretty awes, but Orally Fixated was straight bizarre (in a good way, imo).

u like girl talk

have the sense i'll have to get used to this

have no problem w speed in general, but the racing clip here seems a bit out of place

then again, i like girl talk

ok holy shit, "Movie Star" is the best song I've heard in a while---this is my first listen to this album & this artist in fact---cannot stop playing "Movie Star" though

Lots of better tracks on the album IMO. Have you got to "Dear Miami" yet?

yes, I listened to it all, but "Movie Star" just hits all my spots. I'm open minded! I'll listen again...

"You Know Me Better" is the JAM.

movie star is pretty fuckin cool

There's not a track on the album I don't like, but for me "Primitive" is the high water mark.

so many great songs on this! you know me better, let me know, primitive, and tell everybody are prob my favs

WHERE. IS. NEW. ALBUM. ALREADY?!?!?!?

PRI MI TIVE

is what i said

There's not a track on the album I don't like, but for me "Primitive" is the high water mark.

"...undertaken by mainly upper-class European young men of means."

New song with Mason called "Boadicea". Not bad!

Video for "Boadicea". Róisín's only in it as a photo, but the video is hardcore.

"Cherry Picking" apparently being released wide on 12" vinyl today after just being limited on RSD. Still no sign of any digital offerings, though. >:(

Overpowered is the best pop record of the last half decade.

ha. its good anyway

Wait, this was seriously last updated four hours ago? I found this through search b/c I'm listening to "Let Me Know" and it's sooo good.

I'm glad we all like Róisín enough to bump this thread every few weeks.
