Róisín Murphy has just shared details of her upcoming studio album, ‘Hit Parade’. The LP will be available to stream and purchase via Ninja Tune on September 8th.
Co-produced by DJ Koze, Róisín Murphy’s ‘Hit Parade’ is set to feature thirteen new original genre-melding tracks, and its announcement arrives hot on the heels of electric PA sets at Boiler Room Paris and London’s iconic Printworks closing party.
“This record is a collaboration with DJ Koze. We worked remotely, in different countries sending tracks/ideas back and forth for several years. I always have to approach a new collaboration with openness and a willingness to learn and never more so than with this.” says Murphy.
“The studio in this case was imaginary, in the airspace between Hamburg and London. That meant we were both in a personal, private place when working on the songs. For me that brought out a more intimate approach to the songwriting, I told this album my secrets. For Koze it meant total freedom and absolute focus without the distraction of my presence. He too took a deep dive into himself and I believe that’s why the music is so vibrant and alive. It is just exploding with colour!” she adds.
In line with the announcement, Róisín Murphy also shared the drop of her new single ‘The Universe’, a first glimpse into the incoming ‘HIt Parade’.
