Róisín Murphy-Overpowered

Murphy's own fault

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.

First track is out there!

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

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.

when I think that I'm over her...

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.

Maybe she'll work with Matthew Herbert again!

I'd be content with more Richard Barrett ("Cry Baby" off Overpowered, reportedly "Simulation"), though Herbert/Murphy was a perfect match.

she should work with Bashmore

yes!

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!)

I love all three versions, J+VP probably my favourite but RM's has its own superchill beauty.

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.

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".

sorry, what is "still you"?

oh that's excellent - thanks!

i am now officially obsessed with both versions.

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.

new mixes:

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.

New track out and album announced:

Nice B-side.

Not fond of mom hair.

So excited for this. Love the new song.

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...

Not bad! Reminds me of this lost Tricky-Martine track:

this is good, did she produce it too?

RÓISÍN MURPHY

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

did she produce it too?

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

this is pretty massive
