Alison Goldfrapp Announces New Album With 'Find Xanadu'
(TOC) Alison Goldfrapp, the creative force behind some of the most captivating music of the past two and a half decades, today announces her new album "Flux", out August 15th on her recently launched record label, A.G. Records. She also shares the lead single, "Find Xanadu," a shimmering electro-pop anthem that promises to set dance-floors ablaze.
"Find Xanadu" is a platinum-plated blast of synth-pop euphoria that invites the listener to join Alison on a cosmic odyssey to a sci-fi utopia. Fizzing with energy and innovation, the song captures the magic of escapism and the allure of the unknown. Co-produced by Alison, Swedish songwriter Stefan Storm (Sound Of Arrows) and Richard X, the release marks an exciting chapter for Alison as she embarks on her journey as an independent label owner with A.G. Records.
"If you're lucky enough to have the option, owning your own masters feels like a no-brainer these days. While being a solo independent artist comes with its own set of challenges, it truly suits me and has given myself and the people I work with a sense of empowerment and invigoration for this album" -Alison Goldfrapp
Alison's dedicated approach as pop inquisitor has firmly situated her as the rare leftfield artist who has been embraced by the mainstream without diluting one iota of her individuality. Goldfrapp scaled the charts, with multi-platinum album sales, unforgettable Glastonbury performances, multiple Brit and Grammy nominations, an Ivor Novello for "Strict Machine" as well as the Ivor's Inspiration Award in 2021. The momentum towards her journey into solo music was solidified back in 2021, when she collaborated with Röyksopp on two tracks for their seventh album "Profound Mysteries", culminating in the brightly shimmering track "Impossible". 2023's debut solo album 'The Love Invention' was unmistakably the work of Alison Goldfrapp as a pop auteur, a dazzling showcase of her matured musicianship as well as her relentless curiosity for the new. Alison's psychotropic world was brought to vivid life through both an audio and visual landscape. She most recently collaborated with Purple Disco Machine on their dazzling single "Dream Machine'.
Alison Goldfrapp has performed standout solo sets in recent years including Mighty Hoopla, Glastonbury Festival, Manchester international Festival, Primavera Sound and Somerset House Summer Series. In 2024 she completed a sold-out UK headline tour, cementing her reputation as one of the most compelling, dynamic and hypnotising live acts. Alison will join Scissor Sisters as a very special guest on their much-anticipated 2025 arena tour.
With "Flux", her second album following 2023's critically-adored "The Love Invention", Alison stands on a precipice of new experiences in more ways than one. Arriving on August 15th in partnership with Absolute Label Services and led by the joybomb of a single "Find Xanadu," the album showcases some of her most undeniable pop hooks since Goldfrapp's iconic album Supernature as well as her most poignantly vulnerable songwriting to date. Stay tuned for more in the coming months.
