Róisín Murphy Shares "Exploitation" Video

Róisín Murphy‘s new single “Exploitation” will appear on Hairless Toys, her first album in eight years. Today, the song has a video directed by Murphy. “It’s the story of an actress and a love affair,” she said in a statement.

“As a grown up in this industry and someone who has always had a huge involvement in the visual side, it felt like it was time I took complete control of my image. I had a crystal clear vision for this video, after all I’ve had 8 years of collecting references and inspiration building up to it. … It’s about selling out, manipulation and exploitation within creative work and in a relationship. It’s ironic because as my own director I’m exploiting myself (if that’s possible) but I am manipulating you.” 

Hairless Toys is out May 12 via Play It Again Sam. It also features the previously-shared track “Gone Fishing”.
