Murphy's school years were difficult; in 2019 she said: "I never felt it was like being bullied; I always felt I intimidated people, and that was why I got in trouble".{{Cite web |last=Snapes |first=Laura |date=13 November 2019 |title=Róisín Murphy on the Music That Made Her |url=https://pitchfork.com/features/5-10-15-20/roisin-murphy-on-the-music-that-made-her/ |access-date=2022-06-26 |website=Pitchfork}} She befriended a group of "weird boys who wore black" and who listened to The Jesus and Mary Chain.

They began dating and formed Moloko, who were signed to Echo Records and released their debut album Do You Like My Tight Sweater? the following year. Heather Phares of AllMusic described the album as combining elements of trip hop and funk with electronic dance music, using a more-humorous approach than some of their contemporaries. The band's follow-up album I Am Not a Doctor covered similar musical ground, and a Boris Dlugosch remix of "Sing It Back" found international success, and was included on more than 110 compilation albums. Instead of paying Dlugosch, Murphy helped write "Never Enough",Smyth, David; [https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/4723748/A-dose-of-his-own-medicine.html "A dose of his own medicine"] {{Webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160916213517/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/4723748/A-dose-of-his-own-medicine.html |date=16 September 2016 }} The Daily Telegraph, 26 May 2001.

Murphy and Brydon broke up but were contractually obligated to deliver further albums. After the 2003 release of Statues, Brydon withdrew from much of the album's promotion so Murphy handled most of it.

No official statement about Moloko's future was issued but Murphy told Q magazine in May 2005:

We left it on good terms after a very successful tour. We shook hands, said "see you later", and haven't spoken since. I don't know what Mark thinks of this record or what he's doing. I don't know if we will or we won't reunite. Myself, I don't not want to.Q magazine, May 2005{{full citation needed|date=October 2024}}

AllMusic described Murphy as "a purveyor of adventurous, omnivorous pop that blended influences as far-flung as disco and hot jazz".{{cite web |author=Heather Phares |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/r%C3%B3is%C3%ADn-murphy-mn0000255051/biography |title=Róisín Murphy | Biography |website=AllMusic |date=1973-07-05 |access-date=2015-07-17 |archive-date=29 February 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200229020102/https://www.allmusic.com/artist/r%C3%B3is%C3%ADn-murphy-mn0000255051/biography |url-status=live }} The Australian publication OutInPerth called her "Ireland's queen of the avant-garde".{{cite web |last1=Hill |first1=Leigh |title=Róisín Murphy announces new album; releases 'Mastermind' |url=http://www.outinperth.com/roisin-murphy-announces-new-album/ |website=OutInPerth |date=20 April 2016 |access-date=30 June 2016 |archive-date=16 August 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160816061051/http://www.outinperth.com/roisin-murphy-announces-new-album/ |url-status=live}} According to Drowned in Sound's Giuseppe Zevolli, Murphy has "merged pop, house, and disco with an avant-garde sensibility and a stunning, shape-shifting visual output that never ceases to provoke".{{cite web |last1=Zevolli |first1=Giuseppe |title=Ive always been in control: DiS Meets Róisín Murphy |url=http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4150192-i-ve-always-been-in-control---dis-meets-r-is-n-murphy |website=Drowned in Sound |access-date=5 July 2016 |archive-date=6 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160706163243/http://drownedinsound.com/in_depth/4150192-i-ve-always-been-in-control---dis-meets-r-is-n-murphy |url-status=dead}} Critic Mark Fisher, writing in the UK music magazine Fact, located her music in a glam rock lineage that includes Roxy Music, Grace Jones, and the New Romantics, noting Murphy's attention to the cultivation of artifice and persona.{{cite journal |last=Fisher |first=Mark |date=November 7, 2007 |url=http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/da/64007 |title=Glam's Exiled Princess: Roisin Murphy |journal=Fact |location=London |access-date=November 23, 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071110153852/http://www.factmagazine.co.uk/da/64007 |archive-date=10 November 2007 }} Fisher wrote: "Róisín Murphy is pop's exiled princess of glam [rock]. She represents a confection—of disco and art, of sensuousness and intelligence, of sumptuous superficiality and existential anxiety—that once seemed inevitable, but which has now become all but impossible."

The sound of Moloko's early work drew on electronic and trip hop influences before moving to a more organic sound.{{cite news |url=http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/music/news-and-features/murphy-s-law-1-1426272 |title=Murphy's Law – Music |newspaper=The Scotsman |date=6 October 2007 |access-date=7 August 2013 |archive-date=11 October 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011144644/http://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/music/news-and-features/murphy-s-law-1-1426272 |url-status=live }} According to Elizabeth Vincentelli of The New York Times: "it was only after [Moloko's] breakup that Murphy truly refined her trademark fusion of glossy sheen and playful experimentation".
