Overview Edit

Supernature is the third studio album by the English electronic duo Goldfrapp. It was released in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2005 by Mute Records, and received mostly favourable reviews. Most critics complimented its blend of pop and electronic music, while others called it uninspiring. Supernature was a top five album in Goldfrapp's native United Kingdom, and its lead single "Ooh La La" was a top five single. In North America, where "Number 1" was promoted as the first single, the album was released on 7 March 2006, but did not perform well on the charts.

The album represented a change in Goldfrapp's musical style and featured pop and electronic dance music; inspirations were disco music artist Donna Summer and New Wave band New Order. Supernature received a Grammy Award nomination in 2007 for Best Electronic/Dance Album. In January 2006, the album was certified platinum in the UK, and has sold one million copies worldwide as of early 2007.

5 stars TOTALLY worth getting the deluxe edition
Um, DAMN. I really enjoyed Goldfrapp's 1st album, Felt Mountain, which was ballsy in its baroque string arrangements, Alison's Shirley Bassey delivery, and its utter lack of caring whether or not it could be danced to. This is MUCH less innovative. So why do I love it so? It's one of the few albums in my entire collection that I could easily put on at a party and not ONE person would hate it, or want to change the disc. The last time that happened was probably Blowback by Alison's old friend Tri…

3 stars Doesn't compare to Felt Mountain
I was blown away when I first heard Felt Mountain, and tracked down all the Goldfrapp disks I could find. Felt Mountain's amazing, surprising, and adventurous: each of the songs is totally different, and much more psychedelic than more traditional electropop. The sound, and the skill used in putting together the instrumental tracks on that album, are superb. The string arrangements on Felt Mountain are great, too. Black Cherry was a little more industrial-sounding, but still had great, funny voc…
