Roisin Murphy - Overpowered

Get ready for the next great pop revolution! screams her out of Moloko's press blurb. Whilst this, the first from her forthcoming album, is catchy enough, it certainly isn't revolutionary. Overpowered flatters to deceive, with its decent production betrayed by a lack of a memorable hook. It pales in comparison with the best releases of Moloko and despite carrying her distinctively breathy vocals, it won't stay in your head long enough to trouble your stream of consciousness. Murphy has long since sacrificed the Queen of electronica title, and seems in no form to win it back. [Finbarr Bermingham]
