Former lead-singer of the very successful indie-dance group Moloko, Murphy's solo material breaks away from the traditional Moloko sound of indie-dance, to become a bit more electro and funked up, but at the same time, her songs are often chill-out material.

Overpowered, the second album by Roisin Murphy, was released mid 2007.
