"Reverberotic" by Alison Goldfrapp

Well, the amazing new music just keeps coming. Here is a heady, sensuous, hypnotizing song, "Reverberotic" from Alison Goldfrapp, previously here. Rushing, swirling, swooning...um...yeah...wow. Wait until it really kicks in at about the minute mark.



Her new album "Flux" is released August 15, 2025. Since she can't perform a bad song, I am so chuffed.

"So Hard So Hot" by Alison Goldfrapp

It's always a good day when Alison Goldfrapp releases new material. Here is "So Hard So Hot" from her debut solo release. In the past, she has performed under Goldfrapp, the band she formed with composer/musician Will Gregory (previously here) but her album "The Love Invention" will be released on May 12, 2023. She says it is her "tribute to the dance floor" and this video, produced with AI imagery, is giving me some fun, nostalgic 80s Olivia Newton John vibes. Love it.

"Anymore" by Goldfrapp

OH. MY. GOD. This new Goldfrapp song is UH-MAAAAZING. The sonic richness of the bass line, Alison Goldfrapp's gorgeous, breathy yet powerful vocals, and the perfect lowering, looming sense...*sigh*...breathtaking.

"Anymore" is from Goldfrapp's seventh studio album "Silver Eye" to be released on Mar 31, 2017. I can't wait!

Ensō

The Japanese word ensō may mean "circle" but the Zen Buddhist concept it represents is far larger than a single word. It contains the ideas of enlightenment, cycles, unity, time, nature, the void, infinity, and the totality of the universe itself.


Imagine for a moment that you are man primeval, on a plane, looking out around you, with little or no linguistic skills, and certainly no scientific or objective knowledge of what you are seeing. Above you is a flaming circle, giving light and warmth. When that goes away, quite regularly as it turns out, it is replaced by a great white, glowing circle that inflates and deflates over a short period of time. The two of these things chase each other in a circle as they go from side to side in the sky. At night, the sky is peppered with tiny twinkling circles. On the plane around you, berries and fruits and flowers are circular. You turn in a circle, surveying the reality around you, as your body describes the shape of a circle, and you stand as the still point, the center of this circular universe. You are in the center of the circle. The still point of the circle is where ever you are. Plants grow, are harvested, it grows colder, tiny white cold circles fall from the sky, and then soon, the warmth comes back and the plants once again begin to grow. The circle of time. And reality is an endless circle which allows that to happen.

The circle is the first, original shape, the primary form, the sound of the universe...



"Everything comes around
Bringing us back again
Here is where we start
And where we end"

Currently listening to...

..."Yellow Halo" by the divine Goldfrapp. It is one of two new songs off the soon-to-be-released singles package, entitled, appropriately enough, "The Singles." Incidentally, the video was shot exclusively on an iPhone and features footage from Goldfrapp's recent dates in South America.

Currently listening to...

...the tender and gossamer-like "Clowns" by Goldfrapp. (I'm on a kick.)
I adore how this song becomes more and more transparent until finally all that's left is the strings...


The visuals are enigmatic and nostalgic, perfectly reflecting the texture of the song.

Currently listening to...

..."Monster Love" by the transcendently lovely Goldfrapp: gorgeous, gauzy, heartfelt, and a heavenly, breathy chorus so beautiful, it hurts.

"Everything comes around/
bringing us back again/
Here is where we start/
and where we end."


And check out this lovely live version on a promo tour for the album. Smaller but just as beautiful...
