Róisín Murphy-Overpowered

i love this song, i also heard "your data, my data"

october for the album

hooray!

good track.

is she going to be working with Herbert on the new record?

I like how the video seems like it's going to be some awful 'I'm just a real girl' statement - but then ends up being the opposite.

an 'I'm just a real girl who never takes off this awesome outfit' statement

I saw it as a final refusal to give up the image (after flirting with doing that), in the end unsullied by the normal/drab setting.

yeah but y'know, so what. i'd rather the video just be a more literal interpretation of the song again these days. also the 'music goes quieter when they go into a different room' thing is kinda played out.

I'm intrigued about the album, it's a nice track and I've always liked her voice.

is this one of the Richard X songs?

it's produced by one of Bugz in the attic.

obv, it's clearly "your data, my d

ata".

huh?
data

the beats are a bit sluggish, actually, but i do like the acid line.

the beat is weird, you really notice the snare sounding ever so slightly premature every half a bar.

Towering.

"exact doesn't matter - a matter of fact"

Plus she's always been hot...

i thought it was late but yeah.

Plus she's always been hot...

I think so too! Some of my friends tease me for it, though.

why? how could someone think she's not attractive?

whilst it is 'your data my data', i guess I was looking for a bit of Wicklow accent in there.
Oh and Groove Armada are responsible for alot of the new work. Something to look forward to...
though October?! Really? That's two months between it and the first single

Róisín Murphy - Overpowered (Radio Edit)

i kind of hate the drums

the drums sound weird and crap in that rip though. god i fucking hate low-quality mp3s, why do people do them? still?

i don't think i've actually heard a decent quality version of this song which is REALLY ANNOYING.

touring!

Apparently it is You dated my daughter. Which I understood as some wacky "Lolita" thing. But it also fits with line "the chromosones match." Still a bit confused as to the actual message of the song, not that it really matters though. Maybe some sort of: "Well, we can use our branes but the chemicals always take over and science will never really be able to catch up." Something like that. I think it's an ace song. The remixes on the ep are bit meh though.

I quite like the video. Sure, it's not very deep, but I think she's aware of herself/her image and jokes about it all.

Apparently it is You dated my daughter.

it so is not!

doesn't sound like it.

i'm sure she'd return to that, in the lyrics, if that's what she meant. it would have some effect on the basic story she's telling(?)

"mamaaaa, just kill the haaaaam"

it's on all the lyrics websites as "dating my daughter". is it a snowball effect where one site puts it up first and then all the others just copy that? even if that is the case i'm baffled as to how someone could hear it as that in the first place.

It's fremme neppa my daughter.

is it a snowball effect where one site puts it up first and then all the others just copy that?

yeah v probably -- i've noticed this consistency with other misprints.

he never her daughter

It really does sound nothing like "your dating my daughter". I suppose if she had suddenly developed a weird American accent just for the word "daughter", and had some weird speech defect that meant she couldn't pronounce the the syllable "ing" it might be possible, but I have looked into it and this is not the case.

you're dating my daughter
my sister
my daughter
my sister

it's on all the lyrics websites as "dating my daughter". is it a snowball effect where one site puts it up first and then all the others just copy that? even if that is the case i'm baffled as to how someone could hear it as that in the first place.

True. At first I heard the data line too but after googling it, now I can only hear the daughter line. :-(

But even if you accepted a bizarre pronunciation of "daughter", it would still only say "your data my daughter". There is no way you can hear it as "dating" even if you try!

Well, English is my 5487th language.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, after being initially underwhelmed by this, it is slowly growing into one of my singles of the year. Fits well with the dark-italo stuff that's coming out lately. I hope the album is in that vein too.

When is the album coming out anyway? And what dark-italo stuff would you recommend (alongside this ep)?

The whole 'After Dark' compilation that got featured on Pitchfork a few weeks ago is really really great

great track. love the video too. really psyched for this record.

think this ended up charting at about #132

i think it's "you're dating my data".

like adding the year of release to ID3 tag info

i do that.

but it kind of makes sense, her data is her "dna data" or something?

amazing artwork... the next single & the album art:

DIDN'T GLAST LONG

was that a real headline?

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

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!

also, cover

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"?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pByDTsv2CA

oh that's excellent - thanks!

i am now officially obsessed with both versions.

Of course there's also the original:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe2-gdYLjdo

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

new mixes:

http://www.factmag.com/2014/09/09/roisin-murphy-remixed-by-cosmic-disco-pioneer-daniele-baldelli-listen-here/

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:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl6iCmUEBFA

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

i love it a lot. there was some discussion in one of the other róisín threads
