The music was getting louder and louder, and everyone was onstage bar the extravagant woman herself. The excitement in the crowd was palpable. When the beats felt like they were going to blow the speakers, Lady Roisin finally emerging from the rear dressed in a simple coat and pink beret, oozing sex appeal.

The volume was up so loud that the speakers were thudding and shuddering, making for messy sound. At that point I was beginning to think that the show would be lacking. And fortunately for me, it wasn’t the case at all. Aside from showcasing tracks from her new album to epic effect, its Murphy's mastery of theatrics that sprinkles musical stardust onto her latest live outing. With her feet still firmly rooted in experimental electronica, the new songs take a much needed foray into decidedly pop territory. From the hypnotic, aching throb of Overpowered to the retro-dance-sophisti-pop of Let Me Know, Roisin's live interpretations lift the songs out of the album and throw them squarely onto the dance floor where they hit the ground throwing shapes. The energy in her performance eked its way through the audience infecting each and everyone of us, right up until the point when she teased out the intro of Moloko classic, Forever More. When it finally dropped, there was a serious case of hands-in-the-air-itis going around.

Moloko's Roisin Murphy filled the show with her intensity and energy. Her rampant sex appeal and style were both used as weapons of mass dance-truction; surreptitious costume changes with every new song kept you wondering what kind of outlandish accessory would be next? With little crowd interaction, Murphy still managed to connect brilliantly with her audience. The disco queen won everyone over with her flamboyant disco dancing moves. At the peak of one of the tracks, Roisin to the floor with the rhythm of the music.

If there is such a thing, French comic art karaoke is no longer Moloko…it is Roisin Murphy. She can overpower me any day.
