#FridayFeeling Róisín Murphy – ‘Narcissus’

Now well and truly established as her own creative-director, Róisín Murphy has blessed us with another incredible, self-directed video. For her brand new, string-drenched, hard-driven disco epic “Narcissus”, Murphy channels the mood at the very height of Disco, filtered through the lens of late seventies primetime Italian Television, taking particular inspiration from the Italian ‘Queen of TV’ Rafaella Carrrà. Indeed, over the course of 6 brilliantly eye strobing minutes, Róisín gets the details of the legendary Italian icon just right but gives it her own typically off-kilter spin.  A “colourgasm” and “joyfully vulgar” according to Murphy. The layers of psychedelic visuals and pulsating lights in the background are nicely offset by a brooding performance. Dressed entirely in black, Róisín is a vision of a darker kind of disco Queen.

Lisa Hannigan – Undertow (Official Video)

  • This is a track from Lisa Hannigan’s third album, At Swim. She recorded the record with The National’s Aaron Dessner in a New York church.
  • This was the song that took the longest to get right. Dessner explained to HMV.com: “It existed as a first verse curse for a long time. I had a verse or two but nothing felt right as a chorus so it was in danger of never seeing the light of day. I really liked the verses though so always hoped I could work out a way of finishing it. Then, long after the rest of the songs were recorded I went around to my friend Iain Archer’s house and we finally figured it out! I went over to Aaron and put it down just in time to have it on the record.”
