About this deal

German magazine Musikexpress listed the song as number 449 in their ranking of the "700 Best Songs of All-Time" in 2014.

Australian music channel Max placed it at number 887 in their list of "1000 Greatest Songs of All Time" in 2012. Their third album Things to Make and Do was released in the year 2000 [6] and reached number three in the UK Albums Chart.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). In 2012 Andy Caldwell and Michael Teixeira collaborated on a cover, featuring vocals by Lisa Donnelly. It features Moloko vocalist Róisín Murphy dancing alone in a metallic flapper dress, accompanied by psychedelic lighting effects.

In 2016, Moloko digitally reissued their remixes on the compilation All Back To the Mine, split into two volumes and comprising a total of 68 tracks. After Moloko finished the tour, they built a home studio and recorded their second album, titled I Am Not a Doctor, which was released in 1998 in the United Kingdom. with Jools Holland, and performed a version where Murphy finished head-first inside Brydon's Hammond organ.

Blending elements of electronica and dance music, they are best known for their UK top 10 singles " The Time Is Now" (2000) and " Familiar Feeling" (2003), as well as the 1999 Boris Dlugosch remix of " Sing It Back" which became an international hit. 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. Though the album was unsuccessful, reaching only number 64 in the UK Albums Chart, a Boris Dlugosch remix of " Sing It Back", the third single from the album that originally failed to reach the Top 40 in the UK Singles Chart, was a huge hit, reaching number four in the UK chart and number one in the US Dance Chart.

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.Moloko's music has been described as alternative dance, [1] dance-pop, [1] experimental pop, [19] dance-punk [20] and electropop. Following the disbandment, both Murphy and Brydon began solo careers, with the former releasing her first solo album, Ruby Blue, in 2005. A 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. The group signed to Echo Records and released their single "Where Is the What If the What Is in Why?

Murphy had no prior professional singing experience when Moloko was formed, [1] while Brydon had previously worked on music as a producer with musicians such as Boy George and Cabaret Voltaire on releases from the 1990s.On 'Sing It Back', she's cast as Eartha Kitt, all unquenchable lust, sly, coquettish snarls, a luxuriant, lingering sigh.
