Goldfrapp “Rocket”

26 Jan

Goldfrapp Rocket stream

We’ve been spoiled rotten with thoughts of our favorite pop ladies releasing new music this year. In 2010′s short 4 week life, Roisin Murphy premiered “Mama’s Place”, Lady GaGa announced she’d release an album during 2010′s Q4, and rumors of a new Britney Spears album have been fluttering about. And now, true to form, shines with Head First first single, “Rocket”.

While this über-80s stylistic turn isn’t nearly as exciting of a first single as the downright beautiful and folksy “A&E” was for Seventh Tree, “Rocket” will surely have you bumping around in a spandex suit.

Head First is out 3/22 via Mute. The “Rocket” single is out 3/8. It includes the original and remixes by Richard X, Penguin Prison, Grum, and Tiësto. Listen to “Rocket” below:

    Does Goldfrapp or Will or both! need to pay a house mortgage? Did Allison lose her money with Bernie Maddof? What motivated the most talented pair to record this shit? Ex Goldfrapp fan

    Totally not digging this. Little Boots and Ladyhawke beat this sound to death already. “Believe” isn’t bad though.

    80′s! 80′s! 80′s! Um…didn’t bloody Ladyhawke write this song like, 10 times already on her debut album. WTF?
    WE
    HAVE
    HEARD
    THIS
    ALL
    BEFORE

    so sad that Goldie has to go 80′s retro (again) to keep the kids interested. the countdown bit, uh…Kylie rocked that almost a decade ago on Light Years. God, this is tragic. And all the dipsh**s are going to go apesh** for this piece of refried retro trash – clearly they wrote this in their sleep and bang, hit single. the cover is DREADFUL.

    when
    will
    the
    80′s
    DIE?

    get OVER IT.

    Loosers!

    Looks like “Head first” will be a lot groovier than the slightly dull “Seventh Tree” RT @pmablog Goldfrapp “Rocket” [link to post]
