Lovely to See You Goldfrapp

The lights went down and Alison Goldfrapp appeared - her starlit eye's twinkling as she vogued facing a wind machine that swept back her golden locks—let there be no doubt, she is fabulous! One of those artists that take your breath away. We listened as she broke into operatic lyric, performing the eery Utopia as the show starter ... Alison's voice is like a fabluous mixture of Kate Bush meets Human League meets Garbage. Goldfrapp has a great sound, revisiting the best of 70/80's synth pop.

Full house at the Crystal Ballroom ... all the cam phones were out (-sign of the times I suppose).

I wanted to hear 3 songs to make the night:
Ooh La La
Black Cherry
Number 1

Playlist turned out to be the rollout for the finale + encore. Goldfrapp performed and it was a fun night. Can't beat that! Cheers.

This month, there is a feature 9-page special with photos by Mario Testino and a interview with Will Hodgekinson on Alison in British Vogue.

The new album, ‘Supernature’ debuted in the US last month. For more information check out the Goldfrapp website.

French newspaper "Libération" publishes an interview with Jean Paul Gaultier explaining the concept of the costumes he designed for the Confessions Tour; in fact, Gaultier confirms that Madonna will sing "Live To Tell" on the cross. Moreover, he makes comments about the black Equestrian uniform with saddles and briddles. He also adds that he took the inspiration from Romy Schneider character in the movie "Ludwig".
