Despite being slightly under the weather, Róisín Murphy is putting her all into doing an impersonation of a jaded old raver named Jason. A regular fixture of her often-surreal TikTok account, alongside her fictional manager Karol, he’s a character with an unquenchable thirst for nostalgia, who often waxes lyrical about how great dance music used to be back in the day.
Satirical as he may be, “I definitely have some Jason in me,” Murphy agrees. “The Nine’ies was fackin’ special,” she continues, adopting his cockney accent, “and the kids today, they don’t know nuffin’. I mean, but I do,” she adds, her regular Irish accent restored again. “I had a great time in the Nineties, Jesus Christ!”
