Roisin Murphy - Overpowered!

Finally, we can hold in our hands a single by our dear friend and oxytoxist lover Roisin Murphy! It seems the wait was endless, but the reward is full.





Note the Viktor & Rolf immackulation! See the wonder of giant neon windmill clogs! And you are just on the outside of the single, which is really more than a single . . . as it includes two chunky b-sides and two smarmy mixes and the video. We give the whole thing a giant nod of approval.

We like Overpowered . . . especially now that we can hold it.

We argued endlessly about whether this is a comeback or a continuation. We have decided that it is a rebirth. We will cyclically breath through the birthing process and watch carefully these first steps. As you know how difficult those toddler years can be... (LMKWYLB)

It would be easy at this juncture to forget that Ms. Murphy has had an incredible career prior to this single. What with tracks from Ruby Blue still exploding on American television almost two years after its release.

GO BABY GO!

The single is already being championed by likes of Sammy Jo and Nita weekly residents at NYC's famed Mr. Black's nightclub. I, of course, have been rotating it through my weekly sets. Now if only someone would get wise and make a 7 minute edit of the original. Peacock?

LMKWYLB!

Foolish, hands down, is a funtastic track from this release. It will be interesting to see what else comes with the 2nd single...
