Roísín Murphy has dropped a new single.
Incapable is an eight minute, club-ready track that lyrically addresses the protagonist's difficult feeling love. It was produced by long-time collaborator DJ Parrot, aka Crooked Man. Murphy said:
“Incapable was a little experiment in song-writing for me. I thought it might be fun to write from a point of view totally opposite to the usual heartbreak and despair. This diva is mildly concerned at her own lack of feeling and it’s beginning to dawn on her that there will be no love without pain.
"When it came to the imagery, for some reason I wanted a huge perm. Perhaps in my mind, a character so untouched by the pain of heartbreak would also have huge mounds of luxurious hair?”
The song marks the Moloko singer's first new material since her 2018 series of four 12” singles produced by Maurice Fulton — she self-directed a video for each one.
Murphy has a busy summer of European festival appearances ahead, with her set at Standon Calling on July 28 currently the only UK show in her diary.
