Róisín Murphy unveils new single 'Incapable'

With a string of festival performances later this year, including Stanton Calling in July, Róisín Murphy has now unveiled a brand new single.

The new track 'Incapable' follows on from last year's standalone releases 'World's Crazy' and 'The Rumble', and was produced by long-time collaborator DJ Parrot aka Crooked Man.

Speaking about her new cut, she added, “'Incapable' was a little experiment in song-writing for me. I thought it might be fun to write from a point of view totally opposite to the usual heartbreak and despair. This diva is mildly concerned at her own lack of feeling and it’s beginning to dawn on her that there will be no love without pain,” she says of track. “When it came to the imagery, for some reason I wanted a huge perm. Perhaps in my mind, a character so untouched by the pain of heartbreak would also have huge mounds of luxurious hair?”.
