Sequins 2 is a limited edition extended play by Irish singer Róisín Murphy. It was released by Echo Records on 12-inch vinyl in February 2005.




Songs


The opening track "Sow into You" uses a metaphor of rain and harvests to describe love and sex, atop a baroque pop brass arrangement. The third track "Dear Diary" is a torch song mixing northern soul with disco music with the sounds of doorbells and telephones ringing. The extended play closes with "Leaving the City", which slowly builds up during the introduction and uses out of tune instrumentation and a repetitive chorus.




Cover artwork


The cover of Sequins 2 was painted by Simon Henwood. Murphy met Henwood in a pub, and Henwood, who was known for his simplified paintings of teenagers, thought that she would be a good subject for a painting. Henwood came to Murphy's house the next week and, while they were looking through her wardrobe, decided to have her dressed in sequins. Murphy positioned her body in abstract shapes for Henwood to paint. She developed a character, which Henwood described as a "disco electro pop diva with a 1940s look". His canvases were displayed at The Hospital in Victoria, London, and Murphy purchased them "for [her] kids so they can see what [she] once looked like."
