Popjustice has the first words and noise on Róisín Murphy’s follow-up to the best album of 2005, Ruby Blue. What they have to say –
A lot of the album is a bit like Goldfrapp meets Annie meets Grace Jones meets quite a bit of 80s soul with Timbaland-esque knob-twiddling, although it is also fair to say Roisin has probably been listening to Bertine Zetlitz….
The first single, “Overpowered,” features chubby (not quite fat), leaky (not quite squirty) synths, Róisín’s soulful voice, and a lovely bit with a harp. It just might be the sexiest song to ever use the words “chromosome” and “oxytoxin.”
