Genre-smashing musical pioneers Goldfrapp are set to release The Singles 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". 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.
