Career
With trip reggae group Dreadzone's 'best of' album The Good The Bad and the Dread, she appeared on the Orbital album Snivilisation and recorded songs "The Good" and "The Bad" in 1994. On the limited edition Performance album that was released in 1994, performing with them resulted in two songs. Goldfrapp appeared on trip hop artist Tricky's 1995 album "Pumpkin" and collaborated with Stefan Girardet on two songs on the soundtrack to the 1995 film The Confessional.
Will Gregory was introduced to Goldfrapp in 1999 after he listened to her vocal appearance on "Pumpkin"; the pair later formed Goldfrapp and signed to Mute Records.
She appeared on "The Time Of The Turning" and "The Weaver's Reel" as a featured vocalist on OVO's soundtrack album to the London Millennium Dome Show in 2000.
The pair began recording their debut album in a six-month period in September 1999 in a rented bungalow in the Wiltshire countryside. Felt Mountain, the band's debut album, was released in 2000 and featured Goldfrapp's synthesized vocals over cinematic soundscapes. In 2003, Goldfrapp's second album Black Cherry was released. The band made the album in Bath, England. This album honed more on dance music and glam rock-inspired synths than its predecessor. Black Cherry debuted at number nineteen on the UK Albums Chart, and it has sold 52,000 copies in the United States.
In 2005, Goldfrapp's third album, Supernature, was released. The album features pop and experimental dance music on Black Cherry, but it is more based on subtle hooks rather than the large choruses that made up the predecessor's. For the song "Ooh La La La," it has sold one million copies around the world and received two awards at the 2007 Grammy Awards for Best Electronic/Dance Album and Best Dance Recording.
The Seventh Tree, Goldfrapp's fourth album, was released in 2008 and debuted at number two on the UK Albums Chart. The album is a departure from Supernature's pop and experimental dance music, which features ambient and downtempo songs. The band was inspired by an acoustic radio session they had attended, which led them to the duo's incorporation of acoustic guitars into their music to create "warm" and "delicate" sounds.
The University of Portsmouth gave her an Honorary Doctor of Music degree in 2009.
Goldfrapp has released seven albums, the most popular of which was Silver Eye in 2017. "Strict Machine," "Ooh La La," "Lovely Head," and "A&E" are among the hits. The multi-platinum award-winning band has been nominated for the Mercury Prize, several Grammy Awards, and has received an Ivor Novello for "Strict Machine."
My Summer of Love and Nowhere Boy were two of Goldfrapp's films.
Goldfrapp has devoted more time to her work as a photographer and director in recent years. "Everything Is Never Enough" and "Ocean" were among the album artworks she produced and shot for Silver Eye's singles "Systemagic," "Everything Is Never Enough" and "Ocean."
The Ivor Novello "Inspiration Award" was given to Goldfrapp's in September 2021, recognizing "peer recognition for the Goldfrapp songwriting collection's excellence and in particular how it has inspired other artists' creative talents.
