New video: Roisin Murphy

For no discernable reason, I have reviewed this in the format of a 1980s Bollywood movie (bear with it until the subtitles):



Terrible internet gimmicks aside, the decision to base the video for Movie Star on a John Waters movie has got to be a wilful act of sabotage. True, the first three singles off Murphy's exceptional Overpowered album have performed below expectations - but this, the most commercial and accessible record of her entire solo career, must have had a shot at a decent chart placing.

I suppose the clip appeals to the fashionistas and Murphy's core gay/club audience, but in my opinion it's a completely wasted opportunity. Shame :(
