Artist Biography
This English electronic duo formed in 2000 and consists of singer/songwriter/musician Alison Goldfrapp and musician/producer Will Gregory. Prior to Goldfrapp, Alison guested as a vocalist/songwriter with the likes of Tricky, Orbital, Peter Gabriel and others.
Goldfrapp's 2000 debut album Felt Mountain featured minimalist electronic compositions that consisted of downtempo structures, classical sounding arrangements of strings and light, airy synths alongside Alison's sleek, soft vocals. The albums that followed, Black Cherry and Supernature, have seen Goldfrapp embracing elements of glam rock, dance, and disco music, taking their sound to a wider audience. Usually associated with the electroclash movement, Goldfrapp sometimes recalls 1980s new wave.
"Strict Machine" is also the song used by Verizon for its "Chocolate" phone commercials, and was used for one "Gameboy Advance" commercial by Nintendo. The song is also featured in many promo spots for the FX television series "Nip/Tuck." Fly Me Away was featured in various Target department store Christmas commercials in 2006. "Ooh La La" has also been used in T-Mobile adverts in the UK. "Lovely Head" featured regularly in episodes of British satirical animation series Monkey Dust.
