Róisín Murphy

Róisín Murphy (as in roh-SHEEN) is a singer-songwriter who has been creating electronic pop since the mid '90s, first as part of the duo Moloko, then as a solo artist. So her music comes with a lot of know-how, fine-tuning, and high production values. In the past decade or so, the focus of her music has been almost exclusively on a glorious combination of disco, house, electronic music, and pop, putting together songs, melodies, and hooks that tap into all-time pop greatness, and having people move to her grooves. Her work in the '10s was more closely coupled with electronic and synth pop, with the dance element weaving in and out of her songs. Prior to that, she was creating top-shelf pop (whether solo or with Moloko) that drew from a diverse array of sources including bits of jazz, glimpses of jungle, and some house, with plenty of art pop to spare.
