Premiere: Róisín Murphy - Gone Fishing

...and just like that pigs can fly and hell just froze over! Close to eight years (!) after her stunning Overpowered album - Róisín Murphy just announced that her third album Hairless Toys (!!!!) is coming out in May. Also, she casually dropped the lead single Gone Fishing on her SoundCloud! Harking back to 2005, we hear a bit of the experimental lust and absolute wonder of her debut solo album Ruby Blue here. Woohooo! It's organic, jazzy and freshhh and not very instant. Just like how we like our Ró! Taking a trip into unknown territory and inviting us all along to come with and explore. We are so happy right now! Holy smokes, what an amazing surprise. Enjoooy! Thoughts?! 

This song was written after I watched the documentary film Paris Is Burning, having read an article which referenced it in a discussion about House music's origins in black, gay culture. I was deeply moved by this film. 'I had to run this far from home' - it's about the outcasts who could never fit into mainstream society and how they created a safe place in the drag 'Ball' scene of New York in the ‘80s.
