Roisin Murphy returns to the fray on November 13 with the release here of her ‘Orally Fixated’ single, which is currently streaming on her MySpace and sounds the business.

“It’s kind of quite gritty,” Murphy says of the sessions that have spawned it, “and I’m working with some cool guys here in London. It’s got a slightly London sound to it – it’s a bit more urban than Overpowered, a bit more bassy.”

Having severed her alliance with EMI, Murphy is planning to release “bundles” of tracks before inking a new deal with somebody and putting out an album.

“I think there are all sorts of ways of doing it,” she resumes. “I’m a good artist to maybe do very special packaging for physical releases. I’m fascinated to find new ways of releasing the tracks I make to go along with the modern world.”

It might be a while before we get to see her live, with Murphy currently nine months pregnant!
