Róisín Murphy

Róisín Murphy's rise can be depicted as a classic, Alice in Wonderland story: a curious, mature-for-her-age teenager explores the warehouses, clubs, and gritty streets of northern England, connects with a producer at a party, forms a band, and lands a multi-album deal, climbs the charts and receives award nominations, becomes a fixture in the art world and gets attention for her unique fashion sense, tours worldwide, goes solo, and further solidifies her status as an evolving, surprising Proper Pop Star, embodying the outsider spirit of a generation. But that is not the quintessential Alice in Wonderland story; instead, it is the singular exception. It is Murphy's story, one that belongs solely to her. ‘Róisín Machine’ is the next chapter of this ever-unfolding, always engaging tale – a smoothly edited, decade-in-the-making collection of tracks produced with her Sheffield friend DJ Parrot, simultaneously her most dance-floor ready and deeply autobiographical work to date.
