Goldfrapp
Seventh Tree
Mute Records
8/10

In my mind, there is this collection of female singers that stick out in the world of ethereal vocals, Beth Gibbons (Portishead), Bjork, Beth Orton and Alison Goldfrapp. Goldfrapp comes at you with another atmospheric journey that can equally lead you to romance or seclusion. Her voice piercing through everything else, Goldfrapp leaves you just utterly satisfied at the end of the album. Sensual and passionate lyrics build upon the layers of synths and percussion to leave you wanting more. Also, she’s hot.
