MASTERMIND





Róisín Murphy is one of the last intelligent and eclectic musicians and visual artist on the music/pop-art current scene, if not the only one. If someone in the past thought to mould her into a new superstar in the past ("Overpowered" era), got wrong. After years of silence, she offered to us an exquisite LP "Mi Senti", covering some Italian classics, a year later an even more superior and I can easily say her best album so far, "Hairless Toys".  Sessions with her long-time collaborator Eddie Stevens were very prolific, creating many tracks, but only eight of them "land" in the LP. Neither one good track should be wasted, but this also should not be the reason to repress the organic-making of one album. No problem. Róisín said that those "put on standby" jewels will be a part of the new album, a sort of "Hairless Toys" following. She said it, actually promised it and she did it! Mark the date July 8, because the new 9-track LP, titled "Take her up to Monto", will be out! To get the album´s aftertaste, listen to the first track “Mastermind”.
