Róisín Murphy, “Evil Eyes”

by Alexandra Molotkow

This song is many songs in one just as Róisín Murphy is many beautiful geniuses inside one beautiful form. She wrote the song and sings the song and directs her own incredible videos and she can DANCE oh my GOSH look at her dance and she has insane style and she’s funny and cool in interviews like this one with Drowned in Sound:

I developed this sort of aesthetic for [new album] Hairless Toys that came out of the phrase ‘hairless toys.’ It doesn’t actually mean anything to me. It was just a mistake, something Eddie thought I had said but I hadn’t. But when I came to style the shoot for the record, I found I was able to pick things up an say, ‘Is this Hairless Toys? Yes. Is that Hairless Toys? No.’ It just had a thing.

It just had a thing. Oh and you can dance to her songs and cry to them, sometimes at once! The best music is happy music for sad people.
