Alison Goldfrapp - The Love Reinvention (Dec 8)

[jvckkk]

So did enough Little Menopauses buy the album this week? Where will it chart in the UK.

Debuted at #6, as she deserves.

 

[Voicething]

Shame she couldn’t snag top 5 but 6 is superb and she should be very proud, the album is a total showstopper.

 

[jvckkk]

A top ten is a win in itself for a debut record with relatively little push. I’m sure BMG will be itching for more.

 

[kal]

6 is my favourite number so well done her.

 

[SlowBurn]

Top 10 is a very strong result, as it could have ended up one of those albums that debuts at #28 and vanishes.

I hope she gets some performance slots in the autumn on Graham Norton or Jools’s shows. I could see that helping a lot.

 

[Shuey]

After reading her tweets, i feel like SLoFLo could be about menopause as well.

I had a hunch SLoFLo was about aging and lost youth. Somewhat related.

When you think the last 3 Glodfrapp albums charts have charted at 6, 4, 6 it is a great achievement.

My personal favourite is Gatto Gelato. Cannot get enough of this one. The whole of The Love Invention is fantastic.

Is it a tribute band?

Yas at top 10 for this! Sad she didn't perform Ooh La La but I'd die to see the trifecta of Rocket/Number 1/Strict Machine live!

I know the full version of this is on the deluxe of the album but the completist in me wishes the edit was also on streaming.

She's so lovely. The album is so great. The only song that isn't clicking with me immediately is 'Hotel (Suite 23)'. Although, I am liking it more with each listen.

That's the best song!

Is it a tribute band?

Maybe in a few years time ;-)

 

[bestinase]

Dd I'm living for the "being forced by management to do a video a while she's just trying to enjoy brunch, doesn't even crop out pressing stop on the phone" energy. Queen

Interview with V Magazine here.

 

[Mikal]

The title track has really crept up on me. It's fun and slinky and chaotic. The verses are much better than the chorus though. There's something quite Róisín about her vocal in various places on this album...

 

[2014]

The title track, In Electric Blue and The Beat Divine are the trinity, but it's all soooo good.

 

[jvckkk]

Yeah I think the title track is my standout but there’s an embarrassment of riches to choose from.

 

[digitalkaiser]

The title track, Gatto Gelato and So hard So Hot are my holy trinity.
(but the whole album still slaps!)
