Wonderful Electric - Goldfrapp

I was fortunate enough to get tickets for Goldfrapp's concert in London's Brixton Academy, on the 9th of November. Having been a fan of the band since their exquisite second album, Black Cherry, I was excited to see them, experiencing the usual feelings of worry at a possible disappointment, and also a positive impatience and eagerness. What I was to eventually feel, is undescribable...but oh so good.

Alison Goldfrapp appeared on stage wearing a black sequined tunic. Visually, the stage, the band and back-up singers, were stunning. Dancers and their costumes provided colour and a lot of fun during numbers such as Happiness. Musically, the concert was a fantastic treat. Alison has, truly, the voice of an angel. Over and over she effortlessly reached the highest notes, beautifully performing their latest creations, and treating the audience to magnificent renditions of Oh La La, Train and Strict Machine, amongst other hits.

It was an evening I will never forget. A stunning performance, musical gorgeousness and a voice so divine it almost seemed unreal.
