"Have you ever wanted to be a movie star? So much that you'd do anything to be one?" asks Roisin Murphy, by way of introduction to Movie Star.

"That's how I felt when I wrote this song."

The Irish-born singer certainly looks like one.

She has a different look for almost every song, utilising a variety of hats, sunglasses and pointy-shouldered tops to stylish effect. She also looks far younger than her 34 years, kept in shape by her relentlessly energetic dancing.

But none of this would make her a star if it weren't for her voice. As distinctive as ever, the former Moloko vocalist's tones are strong and impressively adaptable.

While we knew she suited the driving electro of Let Me Know and Primitive, on The Scarlet Ribbon Murphy proved what a great jazz singer she'd make, before moving on to an accomplished rap in the very next song.

Refreshingly, there was nothing earnest about tonight's performance. Sometimes she was an untouchable pop queen, and sometimes she looked like a toddler who had fallen into the dressing-up box.

But with her innovative songs and muscular-sounding backing band, it's clear Murphy would be wasted on Hollywood - she's far too interesting.
