"Let Me Know" is a song by Irish singer Róisín Murphy from her second studio album, Overpowered (2007). The song was written and produced by Murphy and Andy Cato. It was released on 8 October 2007 as the album's second single. "Let Me Know" reached number 28 on the UK Singles Chart, becoming Murphy's highest-peaking solo single to date.

Single cover

The art director of the single was British graphic designer Scott King and the photographer was Jonathan de Villiers. Murphy is depicted wearing a design by English fashion designer Gareth Pugh on the cover.[1]

Critical reception

"Let Me Know" received positive reviews from music critics. While reviewing Overpowered, Mark Edwards of The Sunday Times commented that the song's hook is "strong enough to compensate for the album's duller moments."[2] Nick Levine of Digital Spy gave the song four out of five stars, stating that it "melds propulsive synths, a nineties house piano riff and Murphy's crystalline vocals to create a groove that's harder to resist that a night of passion with Brad or Angelina (or both of them—whatever floats your boat, eh?)."[3] Gemma Hampson wrote for musicOMH that it "retains a bit of that Moloko odd-ness that set the band aside from all the other disco, funk, dance groups around at the same time. Murphy's soft and feminine voice sits well above the '80s bouncy bass and funky electro percussion. It's got a good, retro beat, ruined slightly by the dated fake piano heard all too much in dance in the past 25 years."[4]

Music video

The music video for "Let Me Know" was directed by Daniel Wolfe and filmed at the now-closed Classy Touch Café in Slough. The video opens with Murphy, dressed in an outfit by Maison Margiela, entering a typical English greasy spoon and ordering food at the counter. As she places her coat and bag on her seat, the lights dim and the cafe slowly transforms into a nightclub setting complete with spotlight, multicoloured disco lights and strobe lights. Murphy runs and dances around the cafe while the other patrons appear to be totally oblivious to what is happening. As the song ends, Murphy takes her seat at her table where everything returns to normal and her plate of food is placed in front of her.[5][6]
