More Information

Macy Gray -

Securing a record deal after a stint as a highly sought-after session vocalist, having recorded her first demo almost by accident, huge international success quickly followed Gray's first album; 'On How Life Is'. She combines raw, honest lyrics with a polished, funky soundtrack giving her songs a double-edged appeal. Unique, oddball, original and crazy, but, most definitely, very special.

Roisin Murphy -

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. With a haunting but beautiful voice, Roisin's unusual vocals carry the trippy sound of her solo material whilst putting her own inimitable style on every single song that she writes and produces. Overpowered, the second album by Roisin Murphy, was released mid 2007.
