I've been Overpowered by Roisin.

But please don't save me.
I discovered this awesome singer recently named Roisin Murphy. (It's an Irish name pronounced rosh'-een.) She was with a band called Moloko that had a hit in the 90's called "Fun For Me." Her new album is called "Overpowered" and is the kind of disc Madonna would cut if she wrote deeper lyrics and had a sense of humor. While "Confessions On A Dancefloor" wants to get in your pants and pass out, "Overpowered" wants to seduce you over a martini and cook you an exotic breakfast. I love this chic's phenomenal voice and her wacked out asthetic.

Her newest videos are kind of the beginning of a longer story about a popstar who never stops being a popstar. From the club and on the way home in "Overpowered:"



In a common little diner on an otherwise boring day in "Let Me Know:"


The best two tracks on the album are "Primitive" and "Dear Miami." This live performance of "Primitive" is killer- seductive, intelligent, a blisterig guitar workout at the end. Roisin's my new girlfriend. She just doesn't know it yet.
