As GOLDFRAPP gear up for the March 7 U.S. release of their third album
SUPERNATURE (Mute)–hailed as ‘the best pop album of 2005’ by NME in
England where it entered the U.K. album chart at #2–the disc has been
certified platinum in the U.K. Now America is about to get a taste of
the band’s pioneering electronics, crystalline vocals, visual theatrics
and dark-sex decadence when they make their ‘Tonight Show with Jay Leno’
debut Monday, March 13. Look for GOLDFRAPP to unveil the album’s
sizzling first single ‘Ooh La La.’ The song has been chosen as the
‘Single of the Week’ by iTunes, which is offering it as a free download
for the week of 2/21.
All this excitement comes as GOLDFRAPP have landed the #1 track on
Billboard’s ‘Hot Dance Club Play’ with the album’s set-up track ‘Number
1.’ The song will definitely be on the set list when GOLDFRAPP perform
special shows in Los Angeles (March 11, Wiltern) and Austin at the SXSW
music convention (March 16 at a hotly tipped sUKonthis/BBC Radio 2 party
with Morrissey, Corinna Bailey Rae, Richard Hawley and The Zutons). READ MORE
