In a nutshell: After her acclaimed but distinctly oddball solo debut ‘Ruby Blue’, ex-Moloko diva Roisin Murphy returns with a collection of truly modern disco dazzlers recorded with Richard X and legendary Philly soul strings-arranger Larry Gold. Guaranteed to be bothering the hippest dancefloors from Sheffield to New York, Overpowered is the work of an archly stylish pop pioneer at her most exuberantly accessible. Madonna and Jacques will weep into their pillows when they hear it.

Imagine if you will: Kate Bush does her first pill at Paradise Garage.
