Product Description
From Amazon.com
Goldfrapp's Black Cherry inhabits a dark alley, bristling with urban menace and throbbing with a deep electronic pulse--a far cry from their breezy debut, which gently led the listener to a fairytale aural utopia occupied by Parisian pop, whistling divas and baroque masters. Having given up the countryside for a neon-lit studio, Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory have infused Black Cherry with an intensity and brooding claustrophobia that's both exuberant and sensual. Simultaneously mellifluous and mechanical, tracks such as "Train," with its fiery industrial rhythm, steer Goldfrapp dangerously close to the ailing electro-clash scene, before veering back to more familiar territory with the likes of the sultry, downbeat "Black Cherry" and languid dreamy ambience of "Forever." Elsewhere our Hampshire-bred heroine gets deep down and dirty on "Twist," an ode to oral that finds Goldfrapp waxing lyrical to a fierce driving Kraftewerk-esque synth. No Felt Mountain to get lost in, but at least there's "Hairy Trees" to make up for it. --Christopher Barrett
Album Description

Here we go,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Cherry (Audio CD)
Alison Goldfrapp is one of the female vocalists who is truly unique, whos music truly cannot be categorized into the generalizations called "Genres". In a world of the publicized antics of Britney Spears and her fellow expositionist/classless peers, Alison Goldfrapp stands out as a combinations of both culture and intelligence, as Rob Dougan and the Hartnoll brothers of Orbital in their prime did.The first two tracks, "Crystalline Green" and "Train" combine the impact of sythesized beats with the voice of Alison Goldfrapp, which can be described as a deeper, younger madonna with more range and the ability to use it to its fullest. The song "Black Cherry" is softer, almost like a lullaby, where fans of Orbital will recognize the almost hypnotic voice that was present in their album "Snivelisation". "Tiptoe", although reminiscent of the soundtrack to dirty films in more than one part, is listenable, not because of the references that it brings, but because of its overall congruency, which is missing in almost every modern artist's music. "Deep Honey" and "Hairy Trees", like "Black Cherry" are backed with a less imtense sythesized harmonys, and again, display Alison Goldfrapp's hauntingly attractive voice to its fullest extent. "Twist" and "Strict Machine" are, in my opinion, the best tracks on the album and are pprobably the catchy work that Goldfrapp has done to date. They are "feel good" songs with references to the Risque, the suggestive. The last two songs on the album, "Forever" and "Slippage" are more ambient, the latter having almost no sung "words" in it. Although they are different from the other songs on the album they fit in terms of the suggestion and energy that they have. Altogether a good album that fans of the musical groups that alison has collaborated with will enjoy, as well as people who are interested in high impact electronica that is not tooo repetitive.

Lush,
By A Customer
This review is from: Black Cherry (Audio CD)
THis album is a nice counterbalance to Felt Mountain, introducing Goldfrapp's first efforts at electric caberet style music. THis shows great prmise as an artist, as it shows that Goldfrapp is capable of trying something new to avoid releasing album after album of the same old thing that other artists that do similar music have fallen prey to (Such as Lamb).Definately worth a shot if you like Strict Machine. If you're repulsed by something you should dance dirty to, then stick with Felt Mountain.

Edgy and hot without being cheesy,
By ital_m_24 (Toronto, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Black Cherry (Audio CD)
Highlights on this CD include Black Cherry, Train, Twist and Strict Machine. This is yet another example of how Europe is so much more advanced when it comes to musical taste. Goldfrapp turns to more electronic sounds and 80s beats on this CD, compared to the enchanting sounds of "Felt Mountain." Nice collection of songs. This CD is edgy without the invariable cheesiness of artists like Peaches.
