There's always some excitement whenever I hear some news in regards of new music from Roisin Murphy, so when I heard before one of her DJ sets at the Electronic Beats Festival that she did a recent interview at Electronic Beats, I was beyond excited. The electro singer opened up about what's next on the musical horizon - such as being an independent artist, new music, and two upcoming collaborations with legendary DJ David Morales. I'll take anything at this point from Roisin until we can get her long-awaited third solo album.
How does it feel as an independent artist these days?
Fine, good. I haven't been doing very much music recently but I'll get back into it.
Any plans to return to EMI or not?
I don't know what we'll release next.
After 'Orally Fixated', 'Demon Lover' and 'Momma's Place', there haven't been any new releases, you've been pregnant with your daughter. How did this huge personal step influence you as an artist?
Well, I took a lot of time off and quite often I think I was ready and then realised I wasn't. I didn't quite have the identity to go for with the whole album. I didn't have in mind the kind of an artist that I want to be … after baby … after 6 albums. And this is still forming for me, to be honest.
Did you work on any new songs since then?
Yes, I've worked on few bits & pieces. I have recorded a track with David Morales, and that will be on his record, I've done a big sexy song called Simulation with some people and it will be performed tonight.
Your latest new work comes in form of a duet: Tony Christie's '7 Hills' …
Friends of mine from Sheffield were working on an album and asked me to write a track and it turned into a duet.
There were quite a lot of collaborations for you lately. Why did you choose to focus on collaborations?
Its really hard to answer why I do those things, but basically things just come into my life. People chose me really and I've just reacted. It's more a reaction then a proaction recently, so if somebody ask me to do something I like, Ill do it. And usually that's how everything works in my life. I allow it to kinda happen to me. And that's how my career has always been - I'm waiting for things to happen.
When will your next solo release come out and what can we expect from it?
I don't know and I don't know.
You previewed your song 'Demon Lover' for the first time during the Viktor & Rolf 2009 Paris Fashion Week show. How did this came together?
They just asked me to collaborate musically and I did something almost like now, DJ and sang. Simple as that.
Any plans of repeating this kind of event?
There's always things going on with connection to fashion for me. I love it, so you never know.
