Róisín Murphy-Overpowered

I quite like the video. Sure, it's not very deep, but I think she's aware of herself/her image and jokes about it all.

Apparently it is You dated my daughter.

it so is not!

doesn't sound like it.

i'm sure she'd return to that, in the lyrics, if that's what she meant. it would have some effect on the basic story she's telling(?)

"mamaaaa, just kill the haaaaam"

it's on all the lyrics websites as "dating my daughter". is it a snowball effect where one site puts it up first and then all the others just copy that? even if that is the case i'm baffled as to how someone could hear it as that in the first place.

It's fremme neppa my daughter.

is it a snowball effect where one site puts it up first and then all the others just copy that?

yeah v probably -- i've noticed this consistency with other misprints.

he never her daughter

It really does sound nothing like "your dating my daughter". I suppose if she had suddenly developed a weird American accent just for the word "daughter", and had some weird speech defect that meant she couldn't pronounce the the syllable "ing" it might be possible, but I have looked into it and this is not the case.

you're dating my daughter
my sister
my daughter
my sister

True. At first I heard the data line too but after googling it, now I can only hear the daughter line. :-(

But even if you accepted a bizarre pronunciation of "daughter", it would still only say "your data my daughter". There is no way you can hear it as "dating" even if you try!

Well, English is my 5487th language.

Aaaaaaaaaanyway, after being initially underwhelmed by this, it is slowly growing into one of my singles of the year. Fits well with the dark-italo stuff that's coming out lately. I hope the album is in that vein too.

When is the album coming out anyway? And what dark-italo stuff would you recommend (alongside this ep)?

The whole 'After Dark' compilation that got featured on Pitchfork a few weeks ago is really really great

great track. love the video too. really psyched for this record.

think this ended up charting at about #132

i think it's "you're dating my data".

like adding the year of release to ID3 tag info

i do that.

but it kind of makes sense, her data is her "dna data" or something?

amazing artwork... the next single & the album art:

DIDN'T GLAST LONG

was that a real headline?

everything in that photo is real

I bet the Coca Cola logo will be gone by the time this becomes an album cover.

you could do a good 'spot the difference' contest with it

This album is great. Really hits the sharp beat shiny spot, innit.

Promos already? I thought it wasn't out until - oh wait, beginning October, wasn't it?

Yeah, 8th Oct I think.

A ruthlessly sealed promo with dark DO NOT RIP THIS CD warnings arrived late last week.

Isn't this album crying out for a one word review: "Overrated" ?

not that I have heard it or anything, it just seems cosmically appropriate.

I'm definitely excited about this.

The new single's clip on myspace certainly has me anticpating, I like the Groove Armada guy's remix of it too, christ.

lol@ Geneva's Batie festival naively asking me to stream her gig online in 10 days w/out having negotiated any rights. Like I'm gonna set anything up just to have to take it down 15 minutes prior to the concert.

I have only one question: do pubs usually have chimneys inside or is it part of her headdress?

that is not a pub

ok, but I the only other word I could think of was "diner" and that felt too american

KAFF

oh! thanks. ("café" is the word we use for pub in dutch, which is probably why I didn't think of that)

what is Dutch for 'greasy spoon'?

In Dutch? 'snack bar' :-)

i meant literally!

Oh. "vette lepel" or "vettige lepel"

the new single sounds more like Sophie E-B, in the good way.

i wasn't knocked out by 'overpowered', music-wise.

album has some serious highs and lows. on balance i think herbert's absence is pretty obvious.

Hmm she canceled over here at the last minute, something about the bass player cutting his finger off (ouch).

LET ME KNOW!!!!!

^That's enthusiasm!

sorry, what is "still you"?

oh that's excellent - thanks!

i am now officially obsessed with both versions.

Of course there's also the original:

brilliant song, of course, but don't feel much of an inclination to go back to that version.

new mixes:

The "Mi Senti" EP is fantastic. 'Pensiero Stupendo' is just really warm and intimate. Really like the conversational and vampy tone of 'Ancora tu'.

I had no idea this was out there but thanks to random search on Spotify tonight for Roisin Murphy this came up. Really great.

New track out and album announced:

Nice B-side.

Not fond of mom hair.

So excited for this. Love the new song.

hyped and this song is pretty great and unexpected! is she putting it on itunes or is it going to just be on soundcloud for now...

Not bad! Reminds me of this lost Tricky-Martine track:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vl6iCmUEBFA

this is good, did she produce it too?

RÓISÍN MURPHY

Thanks, JF. About time we had a proper thread for updates.

did she produce it too?

I believe the main producer is Eddie Stevens, who has worked with Murphy since Moloko days.

this is pretty massive

i love it a lot. there was some discussion in one of the other róisín threads
