Product Description:
2007 sophomore album from Róisín Murphy, former lead vocalist for Moloko. A heady mix of electronic dance anthems, soul-stirring Pop songs, deep, dark Funk and quirky lyrical genius, Overpowered is a thrilling and contemporary marriage of edgy Pop and irresistible Disco. Róisín co-wrote and co-produced the entire album, bringing her own vision and focus to these songs whilst working with a variety of producers, writers and mixers to create what is without doubt her finest record; unpredictable, creative, inventive, exciting and hugely accessible. Working with the likes of Seiji, Andy Cato (Groove Armada), Jimmy Douglass, Ill Factor, and Parrot & Dean of All Seeing I / I Monster, Róisín has brought her love of the dance floor right to the very heart of the album. This is one of the albums of the year - a breathtaking modern classic. Features the singles 'Let Me Know' and 'Overpowered'. EMI.

Rating:  - Loooove this CD!
Best CD I have bought in ages! It's really timeless. It could have been made any time during the last 30 years.If you're in doubt..... buy it!
Rating:  - An amazing album & a bit bizarre!
I really love this album.The strength of the song "Overpowered" was enough to convince me to buy the album.Other great songs are "Let Me Know" and "You Know Me Better."My only complaint is that the album does not seem very cohesive.Never-the-less the songs I mentioned are slick and sweetened with Roisin's amazing voice.
Rating: - Catchy electro-tinged dance pop
Unlike "Ruby Blue" this one is much more accessible; you'll likely hear some of this album's tracks on the dance floor, or find yourself singing to it. Sometimes it sounds like influences of Donna Summer, Goldfrapp, I won't be surprised if some of these end up on karaoke discs. It's coherent dance pop with that disco funk attitude that still makes it uniquely Roisin. For infectious dance get "Let Me Know" (this song's got to have the best intro I've heard in years), "You Know Me Better" (think 80s ... Read More
Rating: - Contagiously shiny disco-pop.
Róisín Murphy, once the former Moloko frontwoman in dance-pop act Moloko, is bracingly unpredictable.
Following up her underperforming debut "Ruby Blue", her profoundly offbeat album with electronic experimentalist Matthew Herbert , she is back with her second solo album.
Now signed to EMI, she's made her most coherent album yet.
Murphy's songwriting appears to be stronger than ever with a consistent style and sound emerging throughout.
She puts this assured sense of purpose, ... Read More
Rating: - Surprisingly good
Whereas Moloko albums were traditionally uneven, this is a very good album from start to finish. It maintains the dance anthem aspect of Moloko at nearly all entries, spotless production, highly recommended. I was very nicely surprised and rather disappointed that this has not been officially released in the US.
