Róisín Marie Murphy (Template:IPAc-en Template:Respell, Template:IPA; born 5 July 1973)<ref name=":3">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> is an Irish singer, songwriter and record producer<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> who first became known in the 1990s as one half of the pop duo Moloko alongside the English musician Mark Brydon. After the breakup of Moloko, Murphy embarked on a solo career and released her debut solo album Ruby Blue (2005), which she wrote and produced with the experimental musician Matthew Herbert, to critical praise. Her second solo album Overpowered was released in 2007.
In 2015, after an eight-year hiatus that was sporadically interrupted by non-album singles, side projects and guest appearances on other artists' records, Murphy released her third solo album Hairless Toys, which was nominated for the Mercury Music Prize and Ireland's Choice Music Prize. The following year, she released her fourth album Take Her Up to Monto. In 2018, she released four 12-inch singles in collaboration with producer Maurice Fulton. Murphy released her fifth and sixth solo albums Róisín Machine and Hit Parade, which received critical acclaim, in 2020 and 2023, respectively.

Career
1994–2003: Moloko
In 1994, Róisín Murphy met Mark Brydon at a party, using the chat-up line: "Do you like my tight sweater? See how it fits my body."<ref name="AllM">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Brydon took Murphy to his business Fon Studios, where he auditioned her voice on tape and liked her theatrical delivery. They began dating and formed Moloko, who were signed to Echo Records and released their debut album Do You Like My Tight Sweater? the following year.<ref name="Ind170605"/> Heather Phares of AllMusic described the album as combining elements of trip hop and funk with electronic dance music, using a more-humorous approach than some of their contemporaries.<ref name="AllM"/> The band's follow-up album I Am Not a Doctor covered similar musical ground,<ref name="AllM"/> and a Boris Dlugosch remix of "Sing It Back" found international success, and was included on more than 110 compilation albums.<ref name="ScM071007"/> Instead of paying Dlugosch, Murphy helped write "Never Enough",<ref name="Tel260501">Smyth, David; "A dose of his own medicine" Template:Webarchive The Daily Telegraph, 26 May 2001. Retrieved 22 July 2009.</ref> which reached number sixteen on the UK Singles Chart in June 2001.<ref name="EvHit">"UK Top 40 Hit Database" Template:Webarchive EveryHit.com. Retrieved 22 July 2009.</ref>
Moloko's third album Things to Make and Do was released in October 2000; they used more live instrumentation and arrangements by keyboardist Eddie Stevens.<ref name="PopM270706">"Moloko: Catalogue" Template:Webarchive PopMatters, 27 July 2006. Retrieved 22 July 2009.</ref> The album reached number three on the UK Albums Chart, and "The Time Is Now" became the band's most-successful British single, reaching number two.<ref name="EvHit"/> Murphy and Brydon broke up but were contractually obligated to deliver further albums. After the 2003 release of Statues, Brydon withdrew from much of the album's promotion so Murphy handled most of it.<ref name="Guard270505"/>
No official statement about Moloko's future was issued but Murphy told Q magazine in May 2005:
We left it on good terms after a very successful tour. We shook hands, said "see you later", and haven't spoken since. I don't know what Mark thinks of this record or what he's doing. I don't know if we will or we won't reunite. Myself, I don't not want to.<ref>Q magazine, May 2005</ref>Template:Full citation needed
2004–2005: Ruby Blue
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}
While still in Moloko, Murphy began doing solo work, which included contributions to the works of other artists, including Handsome Boy Modeling School and the "Never Enough" collaboration with Boris Dlugosch.Template:Citation needed
In 2004, Murphy recorded her first official solo material with producer Matthew Herbert, who had previously remixed tracks for Moloko. Murphy wanted to work with Herbert again, commenting: "it felt very natural ... because Matthew makes things seem quicker and easier".<ref name="snc">Bankole, Ade. "Beautifully Flawed" Template:Webarchive. Straight No Chaser. February 2005. Retrieved 8 October 2007.</ref> Murphy and Herbert recorded a few songs and continued working together with support from her label Echo Records. When Murphy presented the label with the album, they found it odd and did not hear any songs that would make successful singles. The A&R division suggested Murphy make some changes to make it more radio-friendly. Murphy refused, stating she "wanted it to be as pure as possible". The label later supported her.<ref name="Ind170605" />
Murphy released her debut solo album Ruby Blue in June 2005. Before the album's release, the tracks Sequins#1, Sequins#2 and Sequins#3 were made available on three limited-edition, vinyl-only releases featuring artwork by Simon Henwood, who also directed two video clips for the album's singles "If We're in Love" and "Sow into You".<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> The album samples sounds made by everyday objects and actions, including cosmetics, brass mice, dancing and ornaments.<ref name="BBC">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> It mixes the electronic music of Moloko with jazz and pop styles.<ref name="observer">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Although the album was a commercial failure,<ref name="ukcharts2">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> it drew mainly positive reviews; Pitchfork Media called it "perfect, the ultimate combination of human warmth and technological know-how".<ref name="pitchfork">Richardson, Mark.

The sound of Moloko's early work drew on electronic and trip hop influences before moving to a more organic sound.<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> According to Elizabeth Vincentelli of The New York Times: "it was only after [Moloko's] breakup that Murphy truly refined her trademark fusion of glossy sheen and playful experimentation".<ref name="vincentelli" /> Murphy's diverse solo work includes collaborations with experimental jazz composer Matthew Herbert and electronic producer Eddie Stevens, drawing on house music, ballroom culture and avant-garde electronica.<ref name="allmusic1"/><ref name="denizen">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation

Controversial views on trans children
In August 2023, Murphy sparked controversy when a Twitter user shared a screenshot from Facebook showing Murphy commenting on a post about Irish anti-transgender activist Graham Linehan, in which she criticised the use of puberty blockers for transgender youth, saying that "Puberty blockers are fucked, absolutely desolate, big pharma laughing all the way to the bank".<ref name="guardian230829">Template:Cite news</ref><ref name="standard230915">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Her statements were met with backlash on social media, including responses from LGBT+ allies and activists accusing her of transphobia and misinformation.

Murphy later issued an apology on social media, stating she was "deeply sorry" for any hurt caused by her words. However, she did not take back her comments on puberty blockers, only writing her "concern was out of love for all of us".<ref name="standard230915" />
In October 2025, Murphy posted to X/Twitter a graph alleging to show a recent decline in the share of 18- to 22-year-olds who identified as transgender or non-binary. She appended the comment, "It was never real." This drew criticism over her apparent denial of the existence of transgender people.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Following the comments, Murphy was removed as a headliner at the 2025 Back In Town Festival in Istanbul.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
