“Giving someone your songs - your pride and joy - to remix isn’t easy,” admits Róisín Murphy. “I get scared. You’ve spent all that time in the studio, trying to create the perfect track, then you give someone the permission to tear it apart and start again.”
There’s a short pause before she continues. “But that’s when you get the rush of excitement. What’s it going to sound like? Will it be even better than the original? Sing It Back, for example. Me and Mark Brydon [who made up the band, Moloko] released it in 1999. We knew it was a good single, but it didn’t make the Top 40. Normally, that’s the end of the story, but Boris Dlugosch came up with a full-on, dancefloor remix and everything went crazy. There was no pressure from us to create this or that kind of remix. It was perfectly natural... Boris took the song and gave us his vision of it. Personally, I think it’s one of the best and most natural sounding remixes that has ever happened.”
