with a late summer release of her new album (allegedly titled 'overpowered'), roisin murphy is gearing up for some serious adulation from fans all over the hipster world.
hailed as an IT girl of the uk scene, roisin not only looks the part, but her quirky musical style continues to surprise those who have followed her from the mid 90's moloko days.
though commercial breakthrough came in the form of a boris dlugosch remix, the lessons learned from that crossover allowed roisin and her then partner mark brydon to experiment more within the context of popular music. since going solo, roisin has come up with a sound that is not quite dance, not quite indie, not quite soul, but somehow all these little pieces form an exciting unique artist.
can you tell i'm a fan? check out the 1st release from her upcoming album.
roisin murphy - overpowered
[this video is totally hilarious! turns out being a superstar is just another day in the life of a bus taking, chip eating, laundry cleaning diva. thanks to xolondon and popjustice for the tip!]
while we're on a roisin lovejones, i thought i'd pull up some video oldies that i adore from this woman:
moloko - familiar feeling
[i can watch this video on loop forever! something about paddy considine and roisin at the sock hop just makes me want to get up and spin. love the live singalong in some scenes!]
moloko - forever more
[more sweet dancing. this time in a lonely love tunnel! hypnotic and dark, songs like this remind me why i love dance music so much!]
