Róisín Murphy is back with a new song: “CooCool” was produced by DJ Koze, and it marks her first single on Ninja Tune. Below, give it a listen and check out the single’s artwork, which is a portrait of Murphy by artist Beth Frey.

The song, Murphy said in a press release, is “ostensibly a fragile little flower yet it has great hidden strength at the roots. There’s classic virtuosity and a lightness of touch, while DJ Koze’s hyper-modern production makes it bounce and glide. It’s a stupidly romantic little love poem. ‘This thing is way beyond any kind of parody.’ Everything in this song is true and playful. Can we fall in love and retain our sense of humour? ‘Embrace your inner child!’ Timeless, ageless, unavoidable love.”

Murphy’s last album was 2020’s Róisín Machine, which got a remix album in 2021 called Crooked Machine. Read Pitchfork’s feature “Róisín Murphy on the Music That Made Her.”
