Genre-smashing musical pioneers Goldfrapp release The Singles on Astralwerks Records. The album is a career-spanning overview featuring tracks from their five critically acclaimed albums, alongside two brand new songs written especially for this release: 'Yellow Halo,' a slow building synth-pop wonder, and the introspective and defiant new wave ballad 'Melancholy Sky.'

Goldfrapp has explored a range of musical styles in their songs, although many songs are characterized by Alison Goldfrapp's distinctive breathy, soft soprano vocals and Will Gregory's multi-layered synthesizer and string arrangements.

The Singles is the first compilation from the band, taking in the captivating electronic balladry of the Mercury-nominated debut album Felt Mountain, the distorted dance floor follow-up Black Cherry, the glitter ball glamour of the Grammy nominated, worldwide million-selling dance pop of Supernature, the critically acclaimed electro-folk of Seventh Tree and last year's Grammy nominated album, the hands-in-the-air, retro-futuristic Head First.
