DL Fav Roisin Murphy Brings us her HIT PARADE

First single released a couple of months ago...

New single, released this week...

I wish she would take her twisted sensibility and apply it to a straightforward dance-pop album again.

Overpowered is 15 years old and it's still miles ahead of Jessie Ware and Dua Lipa and others currently promoted-to-the-sky.

She's piddled around with abstract stuff for four or five albums now. Just do a pop one already.

R3, I'd argue Overpowered wasn't "straightforward" dance-pop. She's always been left-of-center. And, she's been heavy into dance music the last few years -- especially with Roisin Machine. It's not like she's been making some inaccessible performance art, her stuff has been full of undeniable hooks even amidst all the weirdness. I just don't see her ever repeating Overpowered. I'm fine with wherever the muse takes her. She's keeping it interesting.

CooCool is breezy and fun, but The Universe takes this to another level. This one's an earworm I can't shake. It's catchier than any song should be allowed to be. Can't wait for the album.

Roisin Murphy has always been alternative, electronic, European, dance music even on her 2005 debut, Ruby Blue. No reason why she would change. Her follow up album, Overpowered, was an attempt to breakthrough into America, but that didn't happen, so she took a break to live, start a family, and enjoy being a blonde, white women in Europe.

She had worked on Roisin Machine for a decade and it became her most successful album yet (not saying much, honestly). Hit Parade is a departure, but not by much. She's knows she'll never be truly mainstream nor does she try to be. Roisin had two kids from two different men who were able to fund her artistic pursuits. She's always delivered strong lyricism and a unique voice.

Below is the live Covid concert made during lockdown to support Roisin Machine. She's wearing the same designer who used accordion pleating that Shea later wore on RPDR AS7: All Winners Season.

Why does R6 read like AI? I know it's not, but, LOL?

The Italian covers EP was also great. And quite pop.

She's playing NY and LA later this year. I imagine she'll get some festival slots or perhaps some other proper tour dates inbetween those two shows? I saw her in SF back in... 2016ish?

Roisin Machine was DANCE along with the long remixes made in-house. Praise as well for her freaky performances from home during deep covid? 🤩🥳🤡

New song sucks

This will flop as expected

Third song from the album, Fader. Cute video filmed in her childhood hometown. Song is very nice.

Interesting profile

Is Roisin's career really over? Maybe her comments were misguided, but what a shame to have such an interesting musical career ended because of one statement.

The internet told me she was a TERF, and I will ask zero follow-up questions lest I be branded one too!

I'm really mad that she's getting slammed. She's been supportive of trans people, but she learned that you cannot ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER question anything or you're forever the most evil person who ever ever ever ever ever ever EVER lived.

Poor mother

The right used to burn JK Rowling’s books, now it’s the left.

The right tried to cancel Sinead and now the left are trying to cancel Roisin. And what a surprise that the artists who eulogised Sinead’s bravery are silent at Roisin’s record company cancelling all promotion of her album.

Oh Roisin. Fuck. You're still my girl, but you have gotten yourself into some shit with this that I don't see any out of. Two fucking weeks before the album drops.

Fuck

R19 - yeah, She really shit the bed with this one. I hope her career can recover. I truly believe she meant well and I have no doubt that she loves and supports the LGBTQ community.

Sing it back, girl.
