I wonder if she working with the same management team

 

[clowezra]

I am READY, just had a little cry. Do we think she’ll self produce or get some collaborators in? We’ve not had an album written entirely by Alison since FM so…I trust her with my life.

She has been working with a producer whose name I forgot. It was mentioned in the general discussion thread I think!

Found it - James Greenwood-Study, who worked with Kelly Lee Owens, Daniel Avery and Foxes. If the solo Alison record is influenced by the first two names, I am more than excited!

 

[Coolrockgirl]

Can’t wait for this!

 

[luluthecat]

Exciting times! So many albums to look forward to

 

[Noir]

It never even crossed my mind that Alison would ever go solo. I can't wait to hear what she comes up with. It would be cool to hear her teaming up with different producers for an album, rather than her sticking to just one collaborator.

 

[Deer Stop]

Are we aware of another Alison collaboration, this time with Claptone? "Digging Deep" was featured in the Claptone Clapcast in December 2022. The track starts around 18:00.

 

[DirtyPornStar]

Wow! It’s kind of both exciting and bittersweet to find out Alison is going solo (although I think we all had a feeling she would in their thread).

On one hand, Goldfrapp the band pretty much radically shaped my music tastes as a teen and introducing me to Electronica. I don’t know if I’d be stanning artists like Björk, Kate Bush, iamamiwhoami, The Knife, etc. if it wasn’t for me hearing Ooh La La on a Pandora radio station.

But I also feel like Silver Eye had a sense of finality for the two of them and I’m kind of excited to see what Alison has come up with on her own.

 

[Txetxu]

So, no more Goldfrapp records as a duo, then?

 

[Glitterizer]

They could always reunite in the future, I don’t know.

 

[man.tis.shrimp]

I wonder if she’ll just use “Alison” to release her solo stuff. I kinda like that.

This is her first solo release out next Thursday! Excited to see who else she's collaborated with.

Oh WOW really? Are we going to get her Róisín Machine! It’s excellent, let’s gooooo

 

[LTG]

I get what she means but I’m obsessed with her saying all the Goldfrapp records haven’t been under her own name.

 

[mindtrappa]

Oh "Digging Deep" is gooood. Excited for the rest.

 

[Sabrettes]

I’m wondering if it’s “Claptone feat. Alison Goldfrapp - Digging Deep (Extended)”, or “Alison Goldfrapp - Digging Deep (Claptone Extended)”. I guess we’ll know soon!

Our poor wallets if she's on BMG.

I have to echo the sentiment that it feels slightly bittersweet, but I'm excited all the same for this. She's never really put a foot wrong for me in general.
