Róisín Murphy - You Know Me Better

Class is something we associate with Róisín Murphy, and You Know Me Better exudes this effortlessly over Andy Cato's Balearic house beats.

In some way that pushes it closer to a Groove Armada guest slot, but Murphy's vocals are strong enough to pull it back, a slice of electro-disco that may be polished within an inch of its life, but comes back for more with its yearning melody.

As a reminder of Murphy's excellent Overpowered album it does the job - there's plenty to rival it on the album - and the remixes from Samim, Trevor Loveys, Guy Williams and Toddla T are well chosen.
