Disco diva Róisín Murphy seems to have been in hiding recently. The Moloko front girl and her very individual style made the occasional appearance on a dance floor or two in the past couple of years, but otherwise, not a peep. Until now that is.
Let Me Know isn't the greatest dance track, but it's one unique enough to get a club going and enjoyable enough to be heard by more than a trendy nightlife. Six separate versions off this song are around, all available on one of the two single releases, so there's something for everyone, but the album version is the best. It retains a bit of that Moloko odd-ness that set the band aside from all the other disco, funk, dance groups around at the same time. Murphy's soft and feminine voice sits well above the '80s bouncy bass and funky electro percussion. It's got a good, retro beat, ruined slightly by the dated fake piano heard all too much in dance in the past 25 years.
It would have been nice to have more of the early Moloko quirkiness, but this will do for a pleasant tune to get you moving.
