Alison Goldfrapp's Songs of Euphoria

Over the last two decades, Goldfrapp have delivered some of the coolest, smartest, and most exciting electro around. Out front, Alison Goldfrapp’s voice has tread the tightrope. A multi-octave phenomenon which lends itself to dark bassy tones as well as it does to floaty ethereal sounds.But can you believe, she’s never made a solo record? Until now. On the day Alison released her debut album under her own name, she joined me to Take 5.The record captures a club high, it reaches for love and bliss and so I gave her the theme “songs of euphoria”. I wanted to hear the music she’d been vibing off, or the songs that simple sent her into the clouds. From Italo-Disco to New York club classics, this is a blissful conversation about music’s power to elevate.Alexander Robotnick – Problemes’ D’Amour Tom Tom Club – Genius of Love Patrice Rushen – Haven’t You Heard Kaytranada – Be Careful (ft Thundercat)Lindstrom – Closing Shot
