In February Goldfrapp a single compilation retrospective (just titled ‘The Singles’).
The album boasts 14 single from their 11 year career and two brand new tracks, ‘Melancholy Sky’ and ‘Yellow Halo’. And here’s ‘Yellow Halo’, complete with video. Slightly more Dreamy than their last album but a welcome return nonetheless.
Goldfrapp’s ‘The Singles’ is out 6th February.
Buy Goldfrapp’s music from:
UK Electro producer Little Loud, who we featured last month, has had his way with Goldfrapp’s forthcoming single ‘Believer’, the third single from their ‘head First’ album, and the results are impressive stuff.
Pretty much all of the music we feature on electronic rumors is made with synthesizers, obviously, but sometimes a track comes along that just sounds really ‘synthy’. This is one of those tracks. Maybe it’s the sidechaining or the big digital bass, whatever it is it sounds ace. Like a deep synthetic hole you can just go and chill in the track is laidback and enveloping.

‘Believer’ is released 7th September on Mute
SynthPop legend and all-round synth guru Vince Clarke has reMixed Goldfrapp’s third single from their ‘Head First’ album, ‘Believer’.
The Depeche Mode/Yazoo/The Assembly/Erasure pioneer has gone seriously retro on the track which could easily be ‘2nd album era’ Yazoo, with a syncopated bassline that’s so 80’s it’s amazing! It’s a really cool reMix that sounds retro with out sounding ‘old’.
♫ Goldfrapp – Believer (Vince Clarke reMix (Edit))
Vince is currently in his Cabin studio with Any Bell working on new Erasure material, if this reMix is an indication of the musical mood he’s we could be in for a treat.
‘Believer’ is released 7th September on Mute with reMixes from Vince Clarke, Subway, Joris Voorn and Davide Rossi.
Goldfrapp’s forthcoming comeback single (yes, I’m calling it a ‘comeback single’, what?) ‘Rocket’ has been given a couple of sweet reMix treatments.
Prolific Leeds reMixer Grum’s French House version is just the perfect style of mix for this track, all disco beats and retro synths, it’s like Goldfrapp turned up to 11! The next take is provided by, none other than, Richard X, who’s stripped down, minimal, analog synth jam is just as club friendly:

Still lovin’ the original too!
‘Rocket’ will be the first single from the album ‘Head First’.
For various reasons I was kinda’ putting off posting this, but the internet is awash with it so just in case you readers haven’t heard it yet here it is, the new Goldfrapp single.
Just to be clear, I really didn’t like the last album, ‘Seventh Tree’, the whole pseudo-pagan Folktronica thing just didn’t float my boat, which was a pity as I loved Goldfrapp previously.
So, are my Goldfrapp back? Hell yes!, ‘Rocket’, the forthcoming single, is a sweet slice of Electro/Pop/Disco that is pure classic Goldfrapp. A huge sing-a-long chorus hangs on this late 70’s/early 80’s-esq sci-fi Disco tune with its big synth strings and New Wave bassline.

It seems the rest of the internet loved ‘Folkfrapp’ and is disappointed by this track, but then again, the rest of the internet also appears to be American strokey-beardy indie/folk blogs who wouldn’t know a good dance tune if it smacked them head first onto the dancefloor, so fuck ‘em! This track rocks!
‘Rocket’ will be the first single from the album ‘Head First’.
P.S. I’m still not convinced iamamiwhoami is a Goldfrapp thing, despite denials I still kinda’ think it’s Christina Aguilera!
