SONG OF THE DAY (#168)

'overpowered,' by roisin murphy

roisin murphy, if you're not familiar with the name, was the vocalist for moloko and had a minor hit a few years back with 'fun for me.' they never did that much for me, but at the same i probably never gave 'em a fair shake. ah, crud. now i feel guilty about it. now i will go get me some moloko.

after moloko went splitsville, roisin went solo. she released her first album, 'ruby blue,' in 2005. it was a very solid album, but it didn't really prepare me for the genius that is 'overpowered.' i absolutely love this song [thanks, stuart!]. it's all sorts of crazy sexy. i don't know that i can say more than that, so i won't. but be sure to check out the video here. [i swear that's a pillow on the back of her neck. those wacky fashionistas.] no street date on roisin's new album, but if this song is any indication of things to come, let's hope it's sooner rather than later.
