- Dear Miami
This is an awesome album, with some of the best beats and vocals from this past year - but what happened to a domestic release?There are still some songs that are unavailable from the initial UK release...the best song, I think, is Cry Baby: sexy, funky basssline and a great, sassy lyric.And just for the record: Dear Miami is about global warming (disappearing under melting snow is a reference to the nearness of sea level), not the death of the club scene there (it's alive and well)...

It's coherent dance pop with that disco funk attitude that still makes it uniquely Roisin. For infectious dance get "Let Me Know" (this song's got to have the best intro I've heard in years), "You Know Me Better" (think 80s ... Read More
Rating: - Contagiously shiny disco-pop.
RóisÃn Murphy, once the former Moloko frontwoman in dance-pop act Moloko, is bracingly unpredictable.
Following up her underperforming debut "Ruby Blue", her profoundly offbeat album with electronic experimentalist Matthew Herbert , she is back with her second solo album.
Now signed to EMI, she's made her most coherent album yet.
Murphy's songwriting appears to be stronger than ever with a consistent style and sound emerging throughout.
She puts this assured sense of purpose, ... Read More
