Alison Goldfrapp has dropped a Yotto remix of So Hard So Hot, lifted from her first-ever solo album, ‘The Love Invention’.
The track glitches and swirls with arpeggiating synths and the synth-pop star’s sultry vocals, contorting with high-frequency drone sounds and jagged, machine-like melody.
Yotto says of the remix collaboration; “I have been a huge fan of Alison’s voice ever since I heard her on Lovely Head and Black Cherry – two essential records from my teenage years.
“Remixing this solo record was a pleasure, I was very excited to take the funky original into a clubbier territory and can’t wait to hopefully work with her again in the future!”

In support of her new album – which debuted in the UK Top 10 upon its release – Alison will embark on a tour of the UK in February 2024.
Launching in Manchester on February 24 before hitting Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham and Bristol, the tour will wrap on March 1 with a final stop in London.
In a video announcement, Alison also confirmed plans were in the works to take the shows “across the pond”, promising more details soon.
In a review of the album, RETROPOP called ‘The Love Invention’ “a bloody good pop record that has everything great pop music should: infectious beats, undeniable hooks, great lyrics and, at the forefront of it all, one of British pop’s brightest and most enduring stars.”
