The love invention

"Those who fondly remember Goldfrapp's early noughties primal glitterball electro-pop peak will thrill at Alison Goldfrapp's debut solo effort".

"After thirty plus years of gracefully weaving her way through electronic music culture, the time feels right for a proper Alison Goldfrapp solo album. Produced with Richard X, who worked with Goldfrapp and Gregory on 2010's neon-lit 'Head First', 'The Love Invention' is an inventive, open, honest, direct and impassioned love letter to hi-NRG disco, and easily one of the best things that Goldfrapp has ever recorded ... "You've arrived at the sublime," sings Goldfrapp on the stunning opening track "NeverStop". That lyric sums up this brilliant, brilliant - if overdue - debut album better than anything any reviewer could ever write. Welcome to Alison Goldfrapp's paradisiacal, tempting, thrilling vision of the sublime".

"For her solo debut Goldfrapp delves into future disco ... Relishing this new direction, Goldfrapp immerses her voice in sensual, slinky disco and elastic bass lines. Her lyrics are impressionistic, touching on themes of radical fantasy and robotic AI avatars ... Multiple collaborators here include Claptone, Paul Woolford, and synth-pop songwriter Richard X, with Goldfrapp steering the cosmic ship through Balearic house and pulsating sub-bass. Apart from the more lightweight yearning of "In Electric Blue", each track on this album takes you further into her brave new world".
