Róisín Murphy’s ‘Róisín Machine’ was one of 2020’s most acclaimed releases, seeing the star return to the UK Top 20 with her highest-charting solo album to date.
While she’s riding high on the success of the project, the Something More hitmaker is revisiting her 2007 LP ‘Overpowered’ for a brand new vinyl reissue.
The 2LP collection, due for release on May 14, comes pressed on loud pink and orange vinyl and features the original 12-track album, plus bonus cut Parallel Lives, which makes its vinyl debut.
The electronic dance floor record sees the hitmaker work with collaborators including Timbaland mentor Jimmy Douglass, Bugz In The Attic and Richard X.
Harkening back to the synthesizer heyday of the ’80s, ‘Overpowered’ honours greats like Bobby O and Giorgio Moroder with its incorporation of crisp beats and early house influences.
Pre-order the LP directly from Be With Records here.
‘Róisín Machine’ is the culmination of a decades-long partnership between Murphy and frequent collaborator Crooked Man aka DJ Parrot and features the acclaimed singles Simulation, Jealousy, Incapable, Narcissus and Something More.
Following its release, Retro Pop called ‘Róisín Machine’ “a masterclass for those in her shadow in hedonistic, dance floor-ready, feel-good anthems.”
Róisín will be back on stage in the latter half of 2021 for a series of headline shows, with her UK tour including dates in London, Glasgow, Manchester and Bath. She’ll also head to Europe for stops in Holland, Poland and Russia
