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….
– makes me very excited. Read more here.
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.”
