Wow. This Is Very Different.
Filed under: Listen To This
Goldfrapp, one of our favorites, has just dropped their new single, and it's….
It's a completely different direction.
The glam electro pop superstars have abandoned the sounds that made them famous and are now more reminiscent of The Corrs, at least on this track.
We still don't quite know what to make of it.
It's not bad. Just so different.

first!
uh - its alright i guess i don't know what to make of it either
it kinda sucks?
.v. =) love you perez! love you andrea lopez of oak lawn il
I have the whole album and i hate it. And considering her last remixes. I don't think these upcoming remixes will be any better. JUST STICK TO WHAT YOU KNOW!
first!
MY FRST FIRST!!!

aawww i love it!!! (not really) i'm better soy mejor que esas perras
The fucking Corrs??? Are you insane/!
i LOVE mizz Alison!
Damn hot picture. shitty song.
3rd!
jdksl
I'D RATHER LISTEN TO CELIN DION!
third
it thinks its great, i know how bad your taste is in everything Perez so i can understand your confusion of whats what especially when things change. And this is a great song, artists get boring if they just keep doing the same thing over and over, and this is a great new direction. People can't handle change very well and like to label and put things in neat little packages without changing anything. Madonna understands this concept and goes against it, that is why we still hear her music, talk about her and why people still love to hater her, change is good!! embrace it!!
it's actually not different at all for anyone who has followed them from the start of their career. try listening to their first album "felt mountain".
Yup, Its really different than before but I think this picture is really hot.
Now you know how I felt when they switched from their sound on Felt Mountain to being a Kylie Minogue ripoff.
uuuuunummmmmmmmm…nah i dont like it its just not what i expect from them
I've always loved Strict Machine.. this is definitely a new sound for them. It's ok. Not spectacular.
what the f()ck is up with this picture? are your serious?
I like it. Did you listen to the first album - that sound was different from the other albums too. I actually liked the film noir feel of the first album. If you listen to all the albums there is sonic progression and similarities between the albums. I like that they mix it up. It shows talent and some daring.
The Corrs my ass.
Great song. Beats the crap out that junk by Kylie Minogue shite.

♥ Perez, it zeemz U do quite know…. ♣
♀♀♀♀what we need 2 relax after zomepoztz♥♥}
FCK!!!!!!!!!!!!I'M NEVER GONNA BE THE FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Their new album ROCKSS!!!!!
I'm not diggin' it. Big change - i liked them better before.
UGLY………………………..
UGLY COLOR SKIN EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
THATS JUST GROSS.
who cares.
it's ok…I can see it growing on me…..beats the HELL out of Britney's crap
who cares?
they always change their sound, love them
Actually, it's not all that different to the stuff on "Felt Mountain." And I, for one, am kinda glad they didn't make ANOTHER album that sounds just like "Black Cherry" again. Anyway - this is gorgeous.
Actually, it reminds me a lot of Butterfly Child's stuff.
I've heard the new album, I highly recommend they change the name of it to "career killer"
Honesty is the best policy.
Perez, it's great. Long-time fan.
Kinda looks like Britney on Blackout
The only constant thing about Goldfrapp is change - every single album of theirs is a new direction (usually quite radical change). Love it!
P.S. This picture is very old (2003) and does not suite the music at all, new promo pictures are nicer!
Well, they went different between albums one and two….loved album number 3.
Great show live, too.
NO NO NO NO!
xoxo
I'm sure a lot of people have been waiting a long time for something new from Goldfrapp and this is what we get? Ugh!
I like it it sounds diffrent from supernature and black cherry but good I wish they made it alittle more electronic though luv goldfrapp
as much as perez would like to beleive that he's "discovered" every group since he "discovered" electro(clash), this RETURN to chill-ambient for GOLDFRAPP is in no way startling. listen to the single UTOPIA for a feel for their roots, recorded over 6 years ago. it's troubling for the BRATZ to realize that there was an entire real world out here before thier adolescence, but anyone with a true interest in the FULL tapestry of music really would explore deeper before limiting such a limitless group like GOLDFRAPP!
Many people only know their last album, Supernature, which was comercially succesful and accessible. Goldfrapp fans know them from way earlier (Felt Mountain) and this sound is not the shocker it is to other people. The A&E single is the worst track on their new abum though, but it does have airplay potential, just in a different 'genre' of music if you will. The album as a whole is much stronger. You can download it Perez. If you don't have it: reach me. I do. It will drop in February. The new album grew on me REAL fast. It's a gem. The song on itself isn't very special. I agree. But wait for the album: It is SO sensual and SO soothing, emotional and calming… whoa!
this is more how Goldfrapp used to be before they did all their crazy dance shit.
love it.
LOVE IT!!!
I dont care what they did before - that new track is HORRIBLE.
so this is good? and mileys bad, i love you but your twisted.
PEREZ - must everything sound like a quasi pseudo Britney Spears hit for you to like it??? I respect your editorials - misspellings aside. BUT, Goldfrapp is simply delicious no matter how you spell it! Have you heard the first albums. She can't simply be boxed into one particular style - which is unique to "True Artists!" In layman's terms - "IT's WONDERFUL!"
You're a dumbass Perez. Its reminiscent of Felt Mountain, not that different for them. No one cares what you have to say about music. If they did you'd be working for Rolling Stone, not running a trash website about celebs.
What happened to Goldfrapp?!
-tear-
What happened to Goldfrapp?!
-tear-
There will be a stain on that chair. Ewwwww
Love it! Love her! Change is good = longevity. Just look at Madonna.
I love Goldfrapp. I didn't know they had a new cd out. Alison is the first singer since Beth Orton and Kate Bush who are real artists.
Love you Alison!
first off, electro was not their first sound. if you listen to their album pre-black cherry they were very slow melodic dark swing club. do your research, it should be expect they would changed their sound: that's goldfrapp.
It sounds nothing like the Corrs. You have no idea what you're talking about.
umm…its not very different….its actually straying back into what they originally sounded like….you know, before everyone jumped on the goldfrapp band wagon….oh and maria danilea isnt new, and yelle existed years after that band…umm yeah, get the info right
I personally really really get off on having sex with men dressed-up in cute furry animal costumes.
i like it…… & the corrs
this is giving "the shining" and "a clockwork orange"
an ode to kubrick perhaps?
I really like it. I think that 'Clowns' is better (another track off Seventh Tree), but I still like it. It's different, but they're experimenting with different sounds & that's very brave of them. It sounds like they're going back to their roots a bit. A&E sounds like a soft-rock Felt Mountain.
Definitely a different direction, but oh la la that voice of hers! Intimate, emotionally fragile, and crystalline blue production purity. I would love to hear how this track sounds against the larger scope of the album (when?)
Thanks Perez for making the hours at work disappear!
oh la la in your patooty yall! i loves it mucho.
WTF!?
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
i lOVE gOLDFRAPP! i oNLY hEARD hER nEW oNE oNCE…aND iTS tOTALLY dIFFERENT bUT iTS bEAUTIFUL! eVERYTHING tHEY dO iS uLTRA cHIC!
who the fuck are these fuck-wits?
i love it-it's totally goldfrapp-good to know that the real goldfrappm is still alive. i hate u people who think goldfrappm is only electro pop supernature stuff-no no no no, they're artistic and always change their sound with every album-don't u know they're older work??!?! FELT MOUNTAIN?!?!
I actually am extremely in love with the song..
even if it is different from their last two albums..(Black Cherry, Supernature)…but it does remind me of Felt Mountain…I don't know ..I just really really am in love with the song…The Seventh Tree album isn't 100% terrible. There are some gems on the album 
ITS SO PRETTY I LOVE IT
Una gran cancion de un gran disco, Goldfrapp es una de las mejores bandas que he escuchado en los ultimos años y en este disco es una verdadera joya, atencion a Clowns, Happinnes, eat yourself y caravan girl
errr, this is NOT a new sound, but a return to their old sound. the song is beautiful.
AWW MAN… the link doesn't work anymore.
seh is beautiful and her skin is so beautiful~~~she's gorgeous. but even clebs are lonely sometimes, someone saw her profile with hot photos on "WealthyKiss.com" a joke made by someone? but who cares. It's said Charlie Sheen has found his perfect match there.
This ripped from UNFINISHED DEMOS for the upcoming album. The lyrics aren't even in place. These are just skeletons of what the songs will be, so don't freak out everyone. Any yes, it is different…more in the vein of FELT MOUNTAIN, but just wait….it is really beautiful music.
HOT LESBIAN ACTION…BUT ALAS…LOST ON ME…TSK TSK….SHOW A PICURE OF NICK LACHEY AND MARIO LOPEZ THAT COMPROMISING AND YOU WON'T SEE ME FOR A FEW HOURS!! TEE HEE…HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBODY!!
i love the corrs!!!
