    Overpowered's bubbling, sensual, and soulful glitterball gems effortlessly tap into the perennial glory of feeling lost and lonely at the disco at the end of the world.
  2. Stylus Magazine

    While the commercial potential of her new album may be up for debate, as a showcase for Rosin Murphy's talent, Overpowered is an enormous success.
  3. New Musical Express (NME)
    60
    The result is a thoroughly modern pop album that will best appeal to ageing clubbers.

    Murphy is, efortlessly, the queen of electropop and this package of pitch-perfect gems is the living proof. Despite all the great reviews, I personally think it's never too much to remind how brilliant and glamorous this album is, in an era when new Gagas and Ke$has come out from nowhere every single day. My favourite pop album. Ever.… Expand
