Roisin Murphy!
Welcome to the show.
It's great to have you here.
Thank you.
It's a pleasure to be here.
Now, I love your new record, obviously, what you played from it there.
And it's your first album for seven years.
Now, did you leave it seven years because that's sort of a magic number of years
and only on the seventh year will you make it again?
Or was there another?
Well, I had babies.
I had two babies in between.
Right.
They took up a bit of time.
I don't like blaming them.
I didn't really have a kind of record that I wanted to make.
I made lots of kind of tracks in between with different artists
and collaborated and so on and so on.
But nothing felt like it was going to turn into an album to me.
And the years went by really quickly.
Yes.
I don't know if anybody else knows this, but years go by.
Years go by, that's right.
Immensely quickly.
Yeah.
Does anybody notice that?
Yes.
I said it was very earnest.
They don't know what they meant it.
I could tell what that earnest note they had there.
Yes, the years do go by, but your record is great.
And also, Hairless Toys is a very good title, rather unusual title, if I may say.
So I couldn't quite get, where did that come from?
Well, it's a mistake, actually.
Eddie Stevens, who's been my live musical director all these years
and has been on the show with me many times,
I wrote this record with him.
And I left the studio one day.
He needed to name a track.
I hadn't named the track.
He thought I was singing Hairless Toys.
When in fact I was singing Careless Talk.
So it's kind of more
Careless, sort of Chinese whisper.
Yeah.
Hairless Toys.
It's like a psychological inkblot, you know.
It's like, what do you think?
And of course it shows people up to be complete psychopaths.
What, Hairless Toys?
What does it put into people's minds?
What does it put into your mind, Victor?
Oh, I don't know.
Sheer horror.
Anybody got any nice thoughts of Hairless Toys there?
Yes.
It is a bizarre record, and it's a bizarre title for a kind of bizarre record.
You're celebrating 20 years, 20-year career in music.
Do you still get as much pleasure from making music?
Is it easier now, harder?
Well, being away from the whole rigmarole of touring and making albums
and doing this sort of thing and what have you
has made me appreciate it more.
I think I do really enjoy it now, much more than ever before.
I can allow myself to enjoy it, and I genuinely do enjoy it.
Now, I was talking to Kelly earlier, Kelly Jones from Stereophonics,
and he was saying that in an alternative life or an alternative career,
he might have quite liked to be a film director or something like that.
If you had an alternative career or an alternative life,
what would you want?
Is there something [Bb] you'd like to do?
Well, this was an accidental career for me, really truly,
and I was thinking I was going to be a visual artist of some kind.
So maybe that would have been a film director or fashion designer
or an artist or a photographer.
I thought I was heading for university to kind of study art, [E] basically,
and to find out what it was that I wanted to [Abm] do,
but I got a record contract.
Sounds like a record contract has ruined a lot of people's lives.
I thought there were a lot of them knocking about.
Think where you'd be now, or Kelly.
There were so many of them knocking about in the 90s as well,
all record contracts.
What's the next song you're going to play for us?
House of Glass.
Where does that come from?
I'm glad you asked me to sing that one, actually,
because it's a very personal song,
and it's probably the most autobiographical song that I've ever written,
and it's really about my time in my early 20s in Sheffield
when I started to make music.
I lived in a house with these other very creative girls,
and we had parties.
It's a very
It's a lovely [E] song.
An autobiographical song.
Yes, I'd never really done that before.
Oh, this has happened at this time in my life kind of thing,
but with this track I did.
I look forward to seeing you in a moment.
Thank you for being a wonderful guest this evening.
