The Continued Fall of Róisín Murphy | How a Queer Icon Lost Her Audience

After last year’s The Fall of Róisín Murphy video, the story evolved and the Murphy’s descent continued. Following new comments about transgender people, renewed backlash, an now infamous Westminister speech and increasingly public clashes with parts of the LGBTQ+ community that helped shape her career, Róisín Murphy’s relationship with her audience has continued to fracture. Following our last episode, this time we ask what happens when an artist becomes estranged from the community that helped make them an icon, and embraces a new audience who are not interested in the music at all. Using Murphy’s recent statements, public responses from artists like The Blessed Madonna and CMAT, and the changing conversation surrounding her music, this video explores how audiences shape artists and what happens when that relationship begins to break down.
