Bizarre as hell cover art, but classic Róisín Murphy listening is in store for those who indulge in this single. I would very much like to hear a new album with this sort of aesthetic. It has the quintessential vocals one would enjoy with this artist. Yet, it has a modern and warm summer-y vibe to the backing track as well.
“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.” - Róisín Murphy

LYRICS
That ol’ magic is back
A warm feeling flooding
A new age of love
An incandescent joy
There’s good reason why it
Defies reason, let it
Be silly season, darling
All year around
Coo, Cooing
Just don’t, don’t do it
Never, never try it
Oh dear, we sparked a riot
Embrace your inner child
Go buck wild
It ain’t a liability
The way you look at me
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover cooing
Coo, coo…
I hear a coo coo, I hear a cooing
Sweet lover coo coo
Coo... Coo coo, coo, coo coo, coo coo
I hear a coo coo, I hear a cooing
Sweet lover coo coo
Coo… Coo coo, coo, coo coo, coo coo
This thing is way beyond
Any kind of parody
It’d been a driving force
Behind a life’s work
To funkify
Ain’t it funky?
Embrace your inner child
Go buck wild
It ain’t a liability
The way you look at me
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover cooing
Coo
I hear a cooing, coo coo
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover coo
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover cooing
I hear a cooing
I hear a coo coo
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover coo coo
Coo, coo coo, coo, coo coo, coo coo
I hear a coo coo
I hear a cooing
Sweet love coo coo
Coo, coo coo, coo, coo coo
If you show a playful willingness
I would yeah, be more than amenable
To comply, to some
Playful silliness
If you just name the time
So I go on and on and so sincere
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover cooing
I hear a cooing
Coo coo
Coo…
I hear a coo coo
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover coo coo
Coo, coo coo, coo, coo coo, coo coo
I hear a coo coo
I hear a cooing
Sweet lover coo coo
Coo, coo coo, coo, coo coo, coo coo
Like so many others, this came like a bolt out of the blue and, even though it's well before payday, I had to have this astonishing album on vinyl to prove it exists. The feel of the tunes makes me feel like the Impressions do, Curtis Mayfield, the big spaces and instinctive horns and stuff drifting in and out. Great grooves and I can see lots of ghosts nodding along to this with big smiles on their faces. At last! Anthony Cottrell
