It must be nice to be so good at making AMAZING pop music that you can afford to throw away a track like this! I prefer Roisin's version, but I like Sophie's as well, so it's all good.
Even though Roisin doesn't have a powerful voice, she can deliver, she owns her songs. Each and every single one of them have so much emotion and you feel what she is going through with every single word in the lyrics. Incredibly beautiful woman with an unbelievable talent of delivering a song message and great sense of style!
Wierdly i hate the majority of rosins music but this song is awesome!
Shame she didnt release it and shame sophie is changing her single ): i love this song so much that it's the msot played on my ipod. 1:46-2:02 was my fav part
Roisin's version is so much more potent and tangy. I love sophie but her version pales in comparison IMHO. Roisin please release this officially, it's a masterpiece!
I luv Sophie's music but cast my vote for Roisin's version of this one- thanks for posting, had never heard anything from Roisin Murphy before. Will listen to other tracks she's got here.
Um, this video is the rejected song. It will never receive an official release from Roisin.
It was later re-recorded by sophie & has also been posted on Youtube.
The Sophie version is expected to appear on her 2010 album, but will have songwriting credits by Calvin Harris & Roisin & was only offered to Sophie when Roisin decided she did not like it, after recording it during recording sessions for her "Overpowered" album from 2007.
@gavinlmnop only off &on ,she was hesitant, she did not know if the song was going to be a single, but this week she decided that off & on only will be a song in the new CD
@lifegrowntv Say what you will, but Roisin at least has some real talent; more than can be said of Sophie. Sophie has the voice of an untrained female retarded baboon.
Roisin recorded it first, funnily enough that is what tends to happen when an artist finds themselves co-writing there own song in the middle of a recording studio with a producer!
From browsing around the comments, I see there is a strong matter of personal taste in both versions. Either version sounds great so I'm neutral meaning I'm not going on about who's better than the other according to certain log users
Unfortunately we get barely any British or European music over here, it's all American. :( I only found out about Roisin Murphy over the Internet, she's virtually non-existant over here. I'm glad I discovered her though, she is a gem - we need more quirky, free-spirited ladies like her and Goldfrapp.
yer i lvoe the calvin harris mix of this! i think roisin pulls the song off jus a bit better then sophie coz her vocals r more whispy which sound gd wiv the mad electro vibes of this song!
Ohh....this song is amazing.! And your video is also fantastic....it should be offical video.! :D

Both Róisin and Sophie have characteristic voices that both fit this song very well. I like both versions equally much.

The song was written by Róisín Murphy. She recorded it with Calvin Harris but didn't want to release it, so Sophie Ellis Bextor covered it.

The album tracklisting remains unknown at this time, if one (or both) end up not being used they may later be used as "B" sides.
