\"Sing It Back\" is a song written and performed by Irish-English electronic music duo Moloko (Róisín Murphy and Mark Brydon). It first appeared in its original version on Moloko's second album, I Am Not a Doctor (1998); it was released as a single on 8 March 1999, reaching number 45 on the UK Singles Chart. The song experienced chart success after it was remixed by DJ Boris Dlugosch, peaking at number four in the UK in September 1999. Murphy had started writing the lyrics while clubbing in New York City,[3] and knew the song was at heart a dance track, but the group wanted to record it in a different artistic fashion for its album version.
Together with their record company they had commissioned mixes by Todd Terry (who had turned Everything But the Girl's \"Missing\" into an international club anthem). Moloko were not satisfied with the Terry mix and had to convince their label Echo Records to put out the Dlugosch version instead. The remixed version was eventually featured on over 100 compilations, and was later added on Moloko's third album, Things to Make and Do, after hitting the top ten on the UK Singles Chart. In 1999 it reached number one on the US dance chart. As a form of barter for the remix, Moloko vocalist Róisín Murphy later co-wrote and appeared on Dlugosch's \"Never Enough\" single, starring in the video for that release as well.
Scottish newspaper Aberdeen Press and Journal viewed \"Sing It Back\" as a \"Balearic hit\".[4] In her review of the I Am Not a Doctor album, Heather Phares from AllMusic described it as a \"techno torch song\".[5] A reviewer from Daily Record said it is \"their best single since 1996's Fun For Me\".[6] Stevie Chick from NME wrote, \"Róisín Murphy, it must be said, has a remarkable voice, a chalky, skewed howl which can twist into a purr, a cry or a sexy growl. On 'Sing It Back', she's cast as Eartha Kitt, all unquenchable lust, sly, coquettish snarls, a luxuriant, lingering sigh. What a shame it's wasted on some of the limpest, radio-friendly handbag tedium ever put on wax.\"[7]
The music video was produced to promote the single, directed by Dawn Shadforth. It features Moloko vocalist Róisín Murphy dancing alone in a metallic flapper dress, accompanied by psychedelic lighting effects. The video is featured on the DVD of Moloko's special edition for the Statues album. Several live videos exist as well, including one in the group's live concert movie 11,000 Clicks, a similar concert version from the Dutch Pinkpop broadcast, a televised version from the TV show Later... with Jools Holland, and a samba version featured on MTV Brasil.
Immediately prior to the recording of the I Am Not A Doctor album, Murphy took a brief sabbatical to New York, where she completely embraced the Big Apple's legendary club culture: \"I stayed with a girl in the house music business,\" she recalls, \"and she took me out to all these places like Body And Soul. I was totally blown away by the real deal. I started singing the lyric 'Sing It Back' to an instrumental track while I was dancing in a club, and it was still lodged in my head when I came back home.\"
\"On 'Sing It Back' I was sticking sounds through guitar effects pedals. I'm a big fan of the Boss ME88, which I'm happy to use on guitars and basses. You can turn virtually anything into a synth sound with it. Among the synths I have, the Juno 106, an instrument I've been using since about 1985, is a favourite. I use the bass sound from it on almost all our records; you can work up a hundred variations from it. I also used a Nord Lead and Yamaha CS1x on 'Sing It Back', two machines which are great for the money, and an old Roland MKS70 Super Jupiter rack which I use on almost everything.
Mark Brydon doesn't sing on 'Sing It Back', but there is nonetheless a distinctly male vocal on the track. He explains: \"We use a Digitech Vocalist quite a lot. The 'Back, back, sing it back' part is generated by the Baritone setting, which for some reason just sounds great on Roisin's voice. She says she likes sounding like this big, strange transvestite. The Vocalist has become an almost virtual member of the band. We've even christened it Maurice.\"

Another negligible chillout-themed mix compilation, Future Chill is a three-disc package that includes two audio CDs and one DVD. The impact of the few cuts designed for more discerning ears -- including Herbert's remix of Moloko's \"Sing It Back,\" Fatboy Slim's \"Love Life,\" and, well, that's about it -- are more or less softened by all of the fluff that surrounds them. The ideal companion for listening to this whole thing from front to back is a bucket of marshmallow whip. Other contributors include Fila Brazilia, Blue States, Cinemascape, Bengali MC, Fragile State, the Cutless Quartet, and Chris Coco. 781b155fdc
