SKINT
★★★★★★
With Goldfrapp having seemingly dissolved without warning after seven albums, Alison Goldfrapp adds her first name as an indication that Will Gregory has quietly been binned off. In the press biography for her debut solo album, Goldfrapp explains: “It feels like a new era, I feel very strong.”
Alison’s music has always radiated strength, and that continues on an album that’s firmly in the primal synth-pop mould of Black Cherry rather than Goldfrapp’s early folk roots.
