Receiving widespread critical acclaim, the album was more commercially successful than its predecessor, ''Ruby Blue'' (2005), debuting at number twenty on the UK Albums Chart with 9,656 copies sold in its first week. ''Overpowered'' was shortlisted for the 2007 Choice Music Prize in Murphy's native Ireland.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Past prizes – 2007 )〕 As of May 2015, the album had sold 65,532 copies in the United Kingdom.〔 ==Background and recording== In 2006, while promoting her band Moloko's greatest hits album, ''Catalogue'', Murphy announced that she was recording a new album to be released in 2007. After signing to EMI in May 2006, Murphy set out to produce a pop album with a heavy disco influence. With a bigger budget behind her than with her last record company, the independent Echo Records, Murphy recorded around thirty songs for the album with various producers and writers in Miami, London and Barcelona, commenting that each of the producers aided the pop influence of the album, as they all wanted to write "the single". Murphy collaborated with Scottish electronic musician Calvin Harris on the songs "Off & On" and "Don't Let It Go to Your Head Boy", which did not make the cut for ''Overpowered''. During an interview with Popjustice, Harris called Murphy "a bit mental" for not including the songs on the album, while accusing her of "cost() me all sorts of money" during recording. Murphy and Harris have since resolved their differences, and the song "Off & On" was ultimately recorded by English pop singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor for her 2011 album ''Make a Scene''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Overpowered」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
