Title Goldfrapp, Supernature
Country UK
Journalist/Photographer Andrew Perry/ Ross Kirton
Text With the raunchy first single from Supernature, Ooh La La, riding high in the charts, and a considerable buzz gathering behind Goldfrapp's third album, it seems that this curious electronic duo have finally arrived at their big moment. The good news is: it's not by dint of career momentum, of just plugging away, but on the strength of a really fantastic record.
Revelations from a dirty angel: Alison Goldfrapp
Supernature is classy, funny, brilliant pop from start to finish, chock full of memorable tunes, ear-catching sounds and timely mood changes, all topped off with lashings of sexual frisson. It should rightly clean up as did the Scissor Sisters' album last year, and, if anything, there's even more variety and hummability here.
Thus far, Goldfrapp have got by mostly on their pervy, hanky-spanky image. Alison Goldfrapp, who certainly doesn't have the voice of Aretha Franklin, or even Annie Lennox, has coo-ed and heavy-breathed and wiggled her way to infamy, just by being saucy.
Her partner Will Gregory's backing tracks were a little too easily dismissed as, first, Bristolian trip-hop (2000's Felt Mountain), then electroclash (2003's Black Cherry).
Supernature aims far higher, for the stars. Its title is lifted from Cerrone's '70s disco classic, and the music within miraculously updates the whole glitterball tradition on its own post-house, postmodern, but avowedly populist terms.
As well as the implicit nods towards Madonna (witness Ms Goldfrapp's Vogue-era chic), and younger divas such as Kylie and Gwen Stefani, Gregory weaves in ideas from across the pop-rock spectrum - from the contemporary R&B-type strings on U Never Know, through the James Bond theme orchestral sweep of Time Out from the World, to Satin Chic, which is pure Bolan boogie.
So, it hits plenty of popular bases, but what will send Supernature into the multi-platinum league are the songs - 12 cripplingly catchy dramas of escape, joy, attraction and sexual abandon that shine with a style and originality you won't hear on another CD this year.
Suddenly, within these celestial soundscapes, Ms Goldfrapp's purrings and coo-ings sound like supraverbal revelations from a rather knowing angel. Down here on earth, her limo awaits?
