Even if she could do it, I don't think she would ever have the courage to release something like this as her 1st single

And yet it's absolutely the kind of thing that could reverse her fortunes, at least in terms of fan respect.

It is absolutely spellbinding. And Allison has never looked better.

So lovely. However, the suspicion now starts to grow that the album might be a bit ... samey.

As much as I adore Goldfrapp, their "genre hopping" is massively over played. Their album "progression" goes: cinematic sweep > twisted disco > twisted disco with the rough edges given a pop sheen > cinematic sweep with folk tinges > pop sheen with the twisted disco hidden under the leg warmers > cinematic sweep.

Or, even cruder: slow > fast > fast with a bit of slow > slow again > fast again > slow again.

More gorgeousness.

The whole album is going to be like being dipped in fabric softener, I can tell.

Both songs are gone:(

Are they as good as Drew and Ulla? Brief description please!

None of the songs I've heard are anywhere near as good as "Drew". They're like the same, but less.

Just my opinion!

Well I'm just basing that on the live recordings, but they're not doing a lot for me. Perhaps when I hear the studio versions, I'll change my mind.

Very underwhelmed by these I have to say. The melodies just aren't as captivating or beautiful as "Drew". I find them very, very dull actually.

Perhaps they'll just need a few more listens to reveal their charms. I hope so. :confused:
