Roisin Murphy Wants To Overpower You

roisin.jpgEx-Moloko lady Roisin Murphy’s solo debut Ruby Blue was my favorite album of 2005, a mix of torch songs set to sumptuous house beats and fuzzed-out electronic glam rock co-masterminded by click-and-cut sampler whiz Matthew Herbert, with Murphy’s dusky diva voice as the album’s true star. From the forthcoming, multi-producer sequel, Overpowered (due in October), “Modern Timing” is a little less quirky than anything on Ruby Blue, but compensates by being Murphy’s most pleasingly direct slice of grown-up disco-pop to date, complete with Daft Punk voices as the Pips to her Gladys and strings to die for. If you can’t listen to anything Madonna’s done since Bedtime Stories without a single tear running down your cheek, this may be for you:

A generation of music lovers is getting ripped off. That's the feeling among audiophiles who say that MP3 compression, which has made music portable, affordable, and packable on small devices, has ruined the music. In some cases, it’s ruining your ears.

    I love the title track… one of my most-anticipated Fall releases.

    The single Bedtime Story was a work of genius. Not only was Nellee Hooper’s production sublime, but the Bjork penned lyrics were essentially an missive to Madonna to shut the f*** up.

    With subsequent lyrics like “Other cities make me feel like a dork…” Madonna failed to clue in.

    Oh well.

    Little known fact:

    Tauwan loves him some female dance pop singles. [kylie/danii/hilary/annie/robyn/rihanna/etc.]

    If it’s done right and gets it done, he’ll go ga ga. So no one should be surprised by that as soon as that bouncing beat kicked in Tauwan was all like “ooh, I like this.”

    And don’t EVEN get me started on my love for songs that reference dancing, boogieing, clubbing, etc, in their lyrics.

    Now if you’ll excuse me, I’mma go try and find my masculinity. I know it’s in here somewhere.
