How does everyone feel about the return of the Frapp?

It's OK.

It sounds a bit like Jump by The Pointer Sisters

Surely you mean Jump by Van Halen?

I've heard the full version. I'm not too impressed! It's a bit cheesy, like an up-to-date 80s song from a bad film.

I hope it grows on me. I love Goldfrapp. I hope they don't write another Supernature!

Thanks for sharing that. Riveting.

Back on topic, I think it's fantastic. Back to up-beat goldfrapp.

You'll probably have came across Oh La La. I think it's one of their worse singles.

Upbeat doesn't necessarily mean good, though. I have to admit that Rocket is already growing on me.

I'm a huge Goldfrapp fan and feel the same way. I was hoping for something more innovative and edgy from them.

Found it on Youtube <<CLICK>>

The main synth part does sound a bit like Jump. Quite like it on first listen though .

Exactly, it's just catchy, and that's it. It'll grow old I imagine.

I really hope it's a red herring!

I agree with other posters; it wouldn't sound out place on the Pointer Sisters' Break Out album (which isn't a bad thing).

Not impressed at all.
Pretty awful.

I prefer Ooh La La to Rocket, but it is hopefully just the commercial first single.

I was expecting more airy, wavy vocals on soary Ladyhawke synths, not full on 80's nostalgia.

Another new one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKe4fxQ9p8o

It's better than Rocket.

Agreed. The new one is called Believer. I like it a lot but it's very similar to a lot of their other songs. Not really anything ground breaking but very enjoyable.

Believer is really good. It's got my attention a lot more than Rocket did.

It's been removed from YouTube, but you can listen here.

Two more songs have leaked (well, three I believe now!).

"Shiny And Warm" and "Alive". Both of them are... average

Apparently some of "Head First" (the song) has leaked, too.

The songs are ok...seems a step back from Seventh Tree though, I'll buy it and love it regardless though
Carmen Queasy
22-02-2010
I'm going to buy it, definitely, but I'm not sure if this will grow on me. I've never been a fan of 80s pop.

The album only has 9 tracks and is about 35 mins long!
