While still no word on Irish singer/songwriter Róisín Murphy‘s third solo album, she’s been keeping fans happy with featured collaborations in a number of dance tracks. Amongst her the collaborators we have Crookers, David Byrne & Fatboy Slim, and most recently Dutch DJ Mason, who’s latest single, “Boadicea” was released at the end of March. Check out the cinematically stunning video for the single, directed by Ron Scalpello (The Prodigy) and featuring heart wrenching, raw performances from actors Jennie Jacques and Jason Maza.
“The gritty clip, which was all shot on an East London council estate, tells the tale of a down-trodden young girl who fantasizes about exacting revenge on the men in her life. Like a modern day Boadicea, the heroine exacts a trail of revenge in a pretty bloody manner.” {via Pop In Stereo}
Absolutely riveting. While Murphy doesn’t appear as one of the character’s in the video, see if you can spot a still image of the singer in the couple’s apartment. It shows up out of focus a couple of times but there’s one good close up of the poster. “Boadicea” is on iTunes now and features remixes by Tony Senghore, Human Life, Evil Nine, Oliver $, Sharam Jey, Tim Brownlow, Danny Howells & Mat Playford, and Polydor.
