Róisín Murphy

Lost And Sound

What happens when an artist refuses to conform to industry norms and continually pushes musical boundaries? Join Paul for an enthralling conversation with the iconic Róisín Murphy, who has spent nearly three decades mesmerizing audiences with her unique blend of electronica, disco, house, techno, and soul. This arrives on the heels of her latest project, "Hit Parade Remixes," featuring interpretations of tracks from her most recent studio album by the likes of Moodymann, Payfone, and Eli Escobar.

In this episode, we dissect the artistry behind Róisín’s music production, from her character-driven vocal performances to her complex, layered songwriting. Róisín shares her fascination with topics like oxytocin and we also reflect on Róisín's early days with Moloko, the vibrant Sheffield music scene and her transformative collaborations, particularly with Matthew Herbert. Róisín offers poignant insights into her personal and professional journey, exploring how family, inspiration, and the unpredictability of creativity have shaped her sound. From nostalgic reflections on the dynamic Moloko era to the emotional resonance of dance music.

Hit Parade Remixes is available here.
