\"Roisin<\/a><\/p>\n

My Italian speaking doesn\u2019t extend too much and I expect that might just go for the majority of many of us also. Although, if Roisin Murphy<\/a><\/strong> chooses to sing in it, like she has done, I say we take too it, since it has been way too long since we have heard anything from the strikingly avant garde disco pop diva.<\/p>\n

Acting as the first track reveal from the upcoming 6 track \u201cMi Senti<\/strong>\u201d EP, Roisin<\/a><\/strong> nails down a sensually outpoured enlightened vocal performance on the classic Italian pop track \u201cAncora Tu<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n

Of course, I\u2019m no expert but I find Roisin\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> diction on this track, especially sounding on point. It\u2019s just good to hear that\u2019s she\u2019s forever up for a challenge and let\u2019s face it not singing in your native tongue can be very exposing. Roisin<\/a><\/strong> appears to make light work of it although, from the press statement in which comes a special note that Roisin<\/a><\/strong> has seen this as a \u201cSinging Project<\/em><\/strong>\u201d not an just \u201cItalian Project<\/em><\/strong>\u201d the singer further divulges:<\/p>\n

\u201cQuite apart from the language, in some of the songs I was on the edge of what my voice can do. For the Mina ones in particular [\u2018Ancora Ancora Ancora\u2019 and \u2018Non Credere\u2019] there were tears and I almost walked away and gave up.<\/em><\/strong>\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAncora Tu<\/strong>\u201d brings out an almost a chillwave approach, yet Roisin\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> suitably emotive vocals take the track out to a broader pop arena.<\/p>\n

A total of 5 tracks upon the \u201cMi Senti<\/strong>\u201d EP are covers of some of Italy\u2019s greatest singers and songwriters of the 60\u2019s and 70\u2019s with the remaining track \u201cIn Sintesi<\/strong>\u201d an original from Roisin<\/a><\/strong> and the team that worked upon the EP.<\/p>\n

Whether Roisin<\/a><\/strong> is singing in English or Italian, it all sounds good to us and definitely excites our appetite for a new solo album which she is currently working on.<\/p>\n

There will be a digital download option, and remixes will come later in the year
\nBut for now: <\/p>\n

Pre-order is currently available for a limited edition gatefold vinyl<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
