Chief conspirators on the album are Richard X, who's worked with Annie, Sugababes and Saint Etienne, and Kelly Lee Owens collaborator Richard Greenwood, but there are also contributions from Toby Scott (The Gossip), Claptone, Paul Wolford and others. Alison also brings her impeccable taste and a murderers row of electronic music collaborators, making for an album of sleek, sophisticated electronic disco. Part of that comes down to her voice and harmony style which automatically pulls everything into her orbit, and the album isn't a massive departure musically from the glammy electropop they've been known for since 2003's Black Cherry. (They kinda are, too, but also not.) What would a Goldfrapp solo album sound like? Not super different, no surprise, as her debut The Love Invention shows. Since 2000, Alison Goldfrapp has mostly been synonymous with the duo that bears her name and you'd be forgiven for thinking they were one and the same.
