Róisín Murphy - "The Universe" + Hit Parade (Sep 8)

[2014]

(That single cover kind of gives me Tove Lo ff)

I wonder if she's going to work with that artist on the album art. If so, I'm very interested in how that turns out.

 

[Inland Empire]

Even though we've been absolutely besieged by machine-learning art in most visual mediums for the last year or so and I'm mostly numb to it at this point, the single cover for this is genuinely haunting me for some reason. I can't stop thinking about it

I keep thinking it looks like...a racist caricature from another dimension?? It's really uncomfortable to look at and not just in the way AI art usually is.

 

[Andy French]

I need a whole video for the song like this

 

[Vasilios]

We been knew for months?

I've been in a Róisín kick the past month or so (specifically the Overpowered era thanks to finally tracking down all the singles), so CooCool couldn't have come at a better time. I am giving Hairless Toys my first listen today, wish me luck girlies! I only know the Overpowered/Róisín Machine albums in full. Everything else I have cherry picked which I am trying to correct.

 

[selectual]

Convinced CooCool might be the best song ever.

 

[Bolton]

CooCool is just the chillest coolest song that I shall be bugging everyone at any party I go to this summer

 

[ManilaChinchilla]

Ninja Tune, eh? I get the feeling this'll mean a lot of deep cut, un-commercial, esoteric rave tunes that would happily fit into a 3am Radio 6 music playlist, mama.

 

[Vyrisus]

Now I get why she was so hell-bent on telling everybody this album was going to be absolutely bonkers. CooCool is simply exquisite.

Praying that's not the music video, ha.

Also, does she actually sing the word 'cool'?

 

[Nunya B]

Because TikTok has cored out my brain entirely I keep on singing to myself I hear sumn purring, sweet pussy purring

 

[Vasilios]

CooCool is her most accessible single since Overpowered era. So good.

I hear a poosi
Clean lover poosi

 

[Mr.Arroz]

CooCool is her most accessible single since Overpowered era. So good.

 

[HorseTears]

I'm not quite getting this one. Feels like a... pleasant album track or b-side. Maybe I'm just missing the drama and theatricality she's been bringing pretty much non-stop since Hairless Toys. She sounds lovely on it, though.

 

[The_Rani]

Although I'm just a casual fan, I really like Roisin, although usually the poppies stuff. This song is not what I expected, I like!

CooCool is her most accessible single since Overpowered era. So good.

"Something More" is far more commercial and hooky to my ears. I feel "CooCool" is extremely niche/deep-cut vibes.

 

[Vogue]

Incapable was even more "accessible". God I love that song
