Goldfrapp exploded onto the music scene back in 1999

Strict Machine:

This song is perfect for when you’re getting ready to head out with the girls on a Saturday night. Turn it on, turn it up and dance around your bedroom like a mad yoke!

Ooh La La:


It’s suave, it’s sexy and it has some serious beats. This is probably one of the band’s best known songs.

Ride A White Horse:


This tune immediately makes us think of the 70s and dodgy discos. It’s from the band’s third album and even though it was reelase in 2005, we still love all these years later.

A&E:


Taking a slight departure from their usual sound, this tune is far more laidback than some of their earlier stuff. It’s still ridiculously catchy though and you’ll definitely find yourself humming this one randomly from time to time.

Rocket:


This tune has been compared to ‘Jump’ by Van Halen and we can definitely hear the resemblance in the opening strains. It’s catchy, it’s fun and it’s the perfect tune to rock out to when you’re having a hard time in the romance department.
