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".

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.

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.
