News about Alison Goldfrapp

DRIAN THRILLS: Alison Goldfrapp (right), the public face of electronic duo Goldfrapp, achieved the perfect blend of her artistic leanings and mainstream appeal. The music she made with her sidekick Will Gregory was sufficient to earn a Mercury Prize nomination, but it wasn't strong enough to make Kylie, Madonna, and Girls Aloud sit up and take notice. She is playing out alone in a band that bears her surname on an amicable sabbatical - with no hint that she and backroom boy Will have together to write songs again. And it's her poppier, club-friendly side that's closest to her heart, on the evidence of her first solo album. She's headed to the dancefloor after being left to her own devices. The Jonas Brothers, the former Disney Channel heartthrobs (left), dismiss any growing pains on their sixth studio bid.
