Alison Goldfrapp - The Love Invention

Alison Goldfrapp has set a towering standard for British synth-pop in the 21st century—and she’s only just getting started. The magnetic London-born singer, songwriter, and producer released seven albums as part of Goldfrapp, each fueled by a sharp sense of modernity and a sixth sense for sounds more timeless than any trend.

With the release of her debut solo album, The Love Invention—an electrifying dance-pop suite—her multifaceted musicianship reaches a new peak. The Love Invention marks Alison’s reawakening as a dancefloor priestess, in an intoxicating showcase of the disco and house influences that have always pulsed at the heart of her musical DNA.

“So Hard So Hot” captures the fleeting euphoria of the dancefloor with its anthemic house beat, disco handclaps, and Alison’s exquisitely alluring vocal. That sense of uninhibited liberation runs through album highlights like “In Electric Blue,” a yearning synth-pop confection with a chorus as blissful as the first flutter of love. On “Never Stop,” she’s swept up in the rush of all-encompassing affection over a buoyant, rubberized beat. And the sublime synth-pop of “Fever” is an ode to the intoxicating majesty of the dancefloor, climaxing in a chorus that bursts like a glitter cannon.
