Róisín Murphy-Overpowered

love the hiphouse drums and piano. reminds me of the beatmasters but roisin is no betty boo!

sounds a bit like martha wash fronting technique-era new order

this is a very good thing in my book

Mama's Place out on 18 Jan

out of the thin black stroke frying pan and into the drop shadow fire ;]

yup, that's quite an outer glow shes got going on

I take it all of the best sounds in the last 30 years of dance music are from 1987. That aside, I hated the last album and love this song.

Yes I think this is what Lex/Rich secretly mean. But if you had to choose a year it's a great year to choose! Liking this a lot.

i'd go for 89/90. they year dancin danny d paired with cathy dennis blew up. damn she was fine. incidentally they dont sound too unlike the latest roisin outing.

sick hot

has an old school house sound to it

it's just so ALL OUT and unrestrained

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.
