Róisín Murphy New Single News

I think I'm in love with Róisín Murphy. That woman can simply do now wrong.

Check out that fabulous new shot taken during the artwork photoshoot for her new single "You Know Me Better" that will be unleashed on February 26. Click here to see more behind-the-scenes footage on YouTube. The styling  was the result of Róisín's collaboration with graphic designer/artist Scott King and photographer Jonathan De Villiers.

I ordered a limited-edition live recording of Róisín's gig at Ancienne Belgique in Brussels on November 19 that I have been listening to a lot on my recent trip. If you think "Overpowered" is good, you must check out this double-disc package with extended versions of most of the album tracks. It includes a strumming, very '80s sounding version of "You Know Me Better," which has an intro that really reminds me of the intro of Madonna's "Causing A Commotion" from her 1988 Ciao Italia DVD. (Remember that one?)

No word yet about Róisín's takeover of North America. I'll keep you posted.
