Vocalist Róisín Murphy, known for her work with Moloko, will release a new EP reinterpreting classic Italian pop songs of the 60s and 70s. Her new recording “Mi Senti” will feature electronic covers of Mina’s “Ancora Ancora Ancora” and “Non Credere”, Gino Paoli’s “La Gatta”, the Patty Pravo track “Pensiero Stupendo”, as well Lucio Battisti’s “Ancora Tu”. The EP is out as a limited edition gatefold vinyl on the 28th of May through The Vinyl Factory.
In a statement Murphy wrote, “Quite apart from the language, in some of the songs I was on the edge of what my voice can do. For the Mina ones in particular (‘Ancora Ancora Ancora’ and ‘Non Credere’) there were tears and I almost walked away and gave up.”
Last month Róisín Murphy released a teaser of her version of the 1978 Patty Pravo song “Pensiero Stupendo”, which you can stream at the bottom.
