The salient points


  • Roisin 'Roisin' Murphy was one half of dance duo Moloko for nine years. Their biggest hit was 'The Time is Now', which reached number two in the UK charts.

  • Moloko's second biggest hit, 'Sing It Back' has somehow appeared on over 100 compilation albums worldwide.

  • Roisin's first album 'Ruby Blue' was critically acclaimed, but achieved little commercial success.

  • It wasn't really that good.

  • Thankfully her second album, 'Overpowered', fared considerably better and charted at the heady heights of number 20.

  • She is known for her avant garde fashion choices and eccentricity, but doesn't always flaunt it as overtly as some other pop stars.

  • Mind you she sometimes does.

  • Roisin refers to herself as 'warped' and is proud of her opera glove collection.
