Goldfrapp just announced the release of their collection The Singles on February 7th, 2012 through Astralwerks Records. The album is a career-spanning overview featuring tracks from their five critically acclaimed albums, alongside two brand new songs written especially for this release: “Yellow Halo” a slow building synth-pop wonder, and the introspective and defiant new wave ballad “Melancholy Sky”. The video for “Yellow Halo” is live now on YouTube. You can watch it below.
Goldfrapp has explored a range of musical styles in their songs, although many songs are characterized by Alison Goldfrapp’s distinctive breathy, soft soprano vocals and Will Gregory’s multi-layered synthesizer and string arrangements.
The Singles is the first compilation from the band, taking in the captivating electronic balladry of the Mercury-nominated debut album Felt Mountain, the distorted-dancefloor follow-up Black Cherry, the glitterball glamour of the Grammy nominated, worldwide million selling dance pop of Supernature, the critically acclaimed electro-folk of Seventh Tree and last year’s Grammy nominated album, the hands-in-the-air, retro-futuristic Head First.
