Terri Nunn News

If you're looking for the best the world of electronica has to offer, look no further than Goldfrapp. The English duo, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, surpasses all expectations with their latest album "Supernature," powered by smart lyrics weaved among lush melodies.

Goldfrapp is plenty big in Britain, and have already watched this album debut at No. 2 on charts there. But American audiences too should appreciate this hipster-paced approach to electronic music that comes close to the noisy chaos of the electro clash genre — without giving in to the useless experimentation that many fall prey to.

On "Ooh La La," Goldfrapp's sexy vocals ooze through the speakers and seduce the listener in a dreamy disco-esque haze. "Switch me on, turn me up/ Oh child of Venus you're just made for love," Goldfrapp sings, while deeply fuzzed, electronic synthesizer keeps up behind her.

She's upbeat on the dance tracks, but Goldfrapp shows she can handle the down-tempo stuff perfectly as well. On "Time Out From The World," her voice is blissful and blends beautifully with the soaring, spacey arrangement.

The instrumentals are so well constructed, Goldfrapp's vocals are like a tasty cherry on top of an already very edible sundae. With apologies to Madonna, electronic music hasn't had it this good with a front woman since Berlin's Terri Nunn.

"Supernature" is one the young year's best releases.
