Alison Goldfrapp has announced details of her forthcoming debut solo LP ‘The Love Invention’, due this spring.
Executively produced and co-written by Alison, the new album – the first solo release from the Goldfrapp star – is billed as “an intoxicating showcase of the disco and house influences that have always been at the heart of her musical DNA”.
Clocking in at 11 tracks, it’s preceded by the single So Hard So Hot, of which she says: “I wanted to do something that had that very clubby, acid-y feeling to it.
“But I wanted lightness to come out of the chorus – there’s tension there, as well as euphoric freedom.”
The single is paired with a vibrant and psychedelic video vignette, directed in collaboration with Mat Maitland, marking the first in a series of visual accompaniments. The clip has been treated with a range of AI techniques and sees Alison as a solo figure dissolving in and out of geological gridded realms.
Also included on the LP are Digging Deeper Now and Fever, which have been released in remix form courtesy of Claptone and Paul Woolford.
Both versions are included on the digital version of the album, alongside Alison’s own version of her Röyksopp collaboration Impossible.
‘The Love Invention’ is out May 12 via Skint and available to pre-order now.
