Róisín Murphy - "Movie Star"/"Slave To Love"

[RedDragon]

The thread for this song disappeared.

Anyway, this girl is amazing and so underrated by the "charts". Here's the really good video. I love it:

[That Skipping Rope.]

This is one of my favorites off Overpowered. The pre-chorus is f**king brilliant.

[duh5]

I like it, not one of my immediate favs on the album though.

The fact that she has bombed so thoroughly upsets me, I figured at least the UK would embrace her. Her album is fantastic IMO.

[RedDragon]

This is actually my least favorite of the four singles. I still like it, but there are better choices on the album. I'm surprised that she got four videos.

It's my favourite song on the album. The video is crap, but I'm still surprised both that the first three were good, and that she got four to begin with.

It is fantastic. You can't assume that the UK would embrace her, though. "Let Me Know" got a lot of radio support, so if the music failed to capture people's imaginations, then that's just the the way it is

Do we have confirmed artwork yet? They've all been fantastic so far!

The video looks fun and cheap (like the last few really) - at least it's interesting. I suspect we're in for a #95 smash hit though.

Yeah.

But #1 in my heart.

Apparently this is from a recent Q&A:

"What is going on with the "Movie Star" single?"

Róisín: We have changed the roll out of the track a little bit. We decided that we are going to do a double A-side in September or October, I am not sure yet. It will be "Movie Star" with "Slave To Love," which is a cover I recorded of Bryan Ferry's song. It is being used for a global Gucci advertising campaign, so we decided to hold the fire and wait with the release of the single until the campaign started. I plan to do another video for "Movie Star" as well.

Out September 29!

"Slave To Love" is really good
