On 10 January 2008, Overpowered received a nomination for the Choice Music Prize in the Republic of Ireland; the award is given each year to an Irish artist who has proved to produce a critically acclaimed album. Also Overpowered ended at #30 on Metacritic Best of 2007 albums with a score of 82.
Her version of "Slave to Love" by Bryan Ferry is featured in the 2008 Gucci commercial starring actor James Franco. The single "Let Me Know" was produced by Groove Armada. Overpowered produced four singles: "Overpowered," "Let Me Know," "You Know Me Better" and "Movie Star."
In addition to her work with Moloko, Murphy has contributed her vocals to the works of other artists including Handsome Boy Modeling School and Boris Dlugosch, for whom she sang on the track, Never Enough, which became a huge club hit.
On 15 December 2009, Róisín gave birth to her first child; a baby girl she named Clodagh.
‘Róisín Machine’ is the next chapter of that ever unfolding, always compelling tale – a seamlessly edited, 10 years in the making collection of tracks produced in collaboration with her Sheffield pal DJ Parrot, at once her most unabashedly dance-floor ready yet deeply autobiographical work to date.

Róisín Murphy Lyrics
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
Your data, my data
The chromosomes match
Exact as in matter
A matter of fact
These amaranth feelings
A cognitive state
Need the love object
To reciprocate
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
But I'm overpowered
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
A chemical reason
If reason's your game
A chemical needing
Is there in the brain
With pre-programmed meanings
Like a little more pep
Alien feelings
We have to accept
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
When I think that I'm over you
I'm overpowered
It's long overdue
I'm overpowered
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
As science struggles on
To try to explain
Oxy-toxins flowing
Ever into my brain
I'm overpowered

So charming, so beautiful, you're so sweet Róisín.

I cannot believe this song is 12 years old. She was way ahead of her time with her sound and innovative style. I loved her in 2007 and I love her now!

People should read some of the other comments in other threads..
Guessing they haven't been to a hardcore house club before.
Or seen what inspires her.. or know her age.
This music and what she made with Moloko, is still better than most of the contemporary. Especially within the genre.
And also in pop music.. where copying, covering or using a hook/melody from older tunes is annoyingly rampant

@dedpxl it's a good song with a catchy beat, but ahead of it's time? Hardly.
Esteban Gualteros
