Róisín Murphy - Overpowered

I thought it was about time I did a post on some music rather than yet another book. So...

The album I'm most looking forward to at the moment is Overpowered by Róisín Murphy. She's the ex-lead of Moloko. This is her second solo album after Ruby Blue - which I found very disappointing. However, the tracks that have leaked from Overpowered have got me very excited. She's taken a much more straightforward dance/pop approach this time and I think it works a treat. There's some indefinable quality about these songs that really taps into what I want from music at the moment. Róisín is a fair bit kooky but also extraordinarily articulate. In some ways she's a one woman Pet Shop Boys, embracing as she does, the same sensibility that pop music can be about more than just falling in and out of love.
