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. |

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. |

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.
