She is in danger of becoming the new Kathy Diamond, ie a talent in her own right who keeps gracing mediocre dance releases, so this better be good.

Still annoyed that Lady Gaga has the fame/career, while Murphy is relatively little known/unproductive.

Murphy's own fault
― Bryan Fairy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Thursday, 3 April 2014 22:50 (ten years ago) link
Murphy is self-admittedly a recluse and prone to stage fright.

I'm between intrigued and excited

even if it turns out to be disappointing, props for the songs she's chosen and for having the balls to sing them in italian.

I've now watched this concert in its entirety three times.

So many hats. Like most of her sets, it would benefit from less jazzy vamping in the middle.

The vocals sound a little patchy at points, like they're not mixed property or something… But other than that the track is excellent.

This is excellent news!

WHOA
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 15:59 (ten years ago) link
Wait, she hopes it will be out by summer but I didn't gather from that (admittedly brief) article that this stuff has even been recorded yet. Marking it on my calendar for 2015 at the earliest.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 16:01 (ten years ago) link
when I think that I'm over her...
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 16:02 (ten years ago) link
I assumed she meant by this summer but you're right she only says she's written these songs. Can't believe Overpowered is already seven years old.
― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 14 May 2014 17:33 (ten years ago) link
Maybe she'll work with Matthew Herbert again!
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 17:36 (ten years ago) link
I'd be content with more Richard Barrett ("Cry Baby" off Overpowered, reportedly "Simulation"), though Herbert/Murphy was a perfect match.
― panic disorder pixie (Sanpaku), Wednesday, 14 May 2014 19:49 (ten years ago) link
she should work with Bashmore

yes!
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 21 May 2014 16:33 (nine years ago) link
I heard 'Ancora Tu' out and my that's a gorgeous song. (I thought it was an odd language-transposed Justine & the Victorian Punks cover, didn't know that version was itself an odd language-transposed cover!)
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:19 (nine years ago) link
I love all three versions, J+VP probably my favourite but RM's has its own superchill beauty.
― dem bow dem bow need calcium (seandalai), Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:33 (nine years ago) link
I've kind of lost interest in the others songs on the EP though.
didn't think 'Still You' could be improved for me but now hearing it not as an original but as something between a cover of 'Ancora Tu' and a song about 'Ancora Tu' and the memories associated with it adds a very sweet something.
― Merdeyeux, Thursday, 17 July 2014 00:40 (nine years ago) link
OTM. Another thing I love about "Still You": it kind of sounds like they're chatting and jamming totally naturally over a recording of the original that's playing somewhere in the background. Shares a niche in my brain-catalogue with "Into the Groovey".

Of course there's also the original:

brilliant song, of course, but don't feel much of an inclination to go back to that version.

The "Mi Senti" EP is fantastic. 'Pensiero Stupendo' is just really warm and intimate. Really like the conversational and vampy tone of 'Ancora tu'.
I had no idea this was out there but thanks to random search on Spotify tonight for Roisin Murphy this came up. Really great.

hyped and this song is pretty great and unexpected! is she putting it on itunes or is it going to just be on soundcloud for now...

Thanks, JF. About time we had a proper thread for updates.

I believe the main producer is Eddie Stevens, who has worked with Murphy since Moloko days.
