Goldfrapp - Utopia (Official HD Video) 

Yes, it is

Its so weird that in interviews, Alison and Will say they cringe when they listen to it.

@@christophersheffield9574 shows it didn't really come from "them"

@@johannsmith5697 But still a masterpiece.

i agree

There still is no sound like this in 2020, just some bitches with fat butts who jitter to noise sounding like „ whoop whoop ding ding“. Music died a decade ago and we are the lucky ones, who know the good stuff.

Happy times

@@1337fraggzb00N i love songs like this and today’s songs with big booty bitches. no reason to put down music just because you don’t like it

@@cupknee don't tell me what to do.

@@1337fraggzb00N it’s okay, i just realized it’s usually like 13 year olds who say things like your first comment so i will excuse your ignorance

I'm glad she got over that too, she famously wouldn't talk about her age for a long time, possibly shame. She shouldn't be ashamed, her life has shaped this beautiful woman and her relationship with her own raw talent. I'm not saying she should be actively grateful for the shit, but yeah, don't be embarassed because you're x age and not got a record deal. What about those Fisherman Friends guys, even? They were in their sixties and seventies when they did their debut album!

Her and Debbie Harry

Shouldn’t make any difference if your 25, 35, or 85! If it’s a good song, it’s a good song! There have been brilliant song writers and musicians out there,that have written great material and will never be heard of!

@@Rick-Jangle exactly the BS cxxxs in music world and TBH not just the industry but society/the world at large is full of ageist scumbags....just "meh" about it ya know???😡😠

@@92RedRevolver yeah it's the cxxxs in charge ..."gatekeepers"...ppl like Simon Cowell,etc who ironically wasn't famous until middle age

of course ♥ never forget this sounds and so lovely vocal..it's a magical idea's ♥

❤❣❣

@@scieropia klll

What are you saying hahaha that song was released in the times when the trip hop was very popular XD isn't ahead of its time at all!

@@hansaguilarroque2276 can't lie, a lot of these comments are massively over hyping the contents of this track. I like it but for example "This chorus of this song has one of the most utterly intoxicating synth rhythms I have ever heard" almost as if they've never heard any music ever

It's not from this world.

@ hansaguilarroque2276 who cares, cope

@ benjames9158 who cares, cope

Yeah, why not a much bigger following ?

I was never sure If it was "fascist baby', it sounded like that but I thought, nah couldn't be, it must be 'precious baby'

@@slartybartfast4213 I remember this as I forget who I am, again and again, fascist baby. Which captures an aspect of fascism, that it rewrites history and misapropriates culture. I listened again and I heard precious. Maybe the confusion is deliberate, but I would rather this was just a dreamlike indulgence.

@@thumper8684 That makes sense, maybe because it's so dreamy and chill my ears heard fascist but my head said 'no, that makes no sense, it must be precious' I hadn't paid too much attention to the lyrics before today tbh, just enjoyed the beauty.

"I forget myself, when I'm with you" is my favourite lyrics by Goldfrapp.. How can love and erotic sentiment be described better? It's a perfect line, in my opinion.. And of course it's 'Utopia'. It might be too good to be true...

Alison Goldfrapp's intention is quoted here if you're interested (she's referencing body fascism) but it's all pretty loose as befits the fantastic atmosphere of her work. Hear it as it sounds best to you xx. songmeanings.com/songs/view/68343/

Yes! I agree 100%!

They used it in a car ad back then here in Argentina, can't remember if it was Peugeot or Chevrolet, but sure was one of those two; big hit, everyone was asking what song was that, it was some kind of silly pride to tell them it was Goldfrapp and I had (still have) the album. Sadly, when they came in 2011, they didn't played it 😤🤷‍♂, they played all their upbeat hits instead, maybe to make the audience forget about the rain ("organizers" still program outdor shows in november when it's one of the most rainy months in the year 🤦‍♂), but the rain and the V.I.P. section (more interested in champagne and socialize than in the artists) that was between the band and the real audience made it an awkward show 🤷‍♂.

​​@@nunc-hic-stans4211that's a bummer about the "rainy concert" I have always preferred this LP to Goldfrapp's others now don't get me wrong I enjoy their "disco dance songs" Will Gregory is such a subtle genius and the way he manipulates Allison's voice is incredible and of course Allison could probably sing operatic music (her mother wanted her to) but Felt Mountain blew my mind the first time I listened to it I immediately thought of old Sean Connery James Bond movies and still do today ! it's very rare in the US to find another person man or woman that even know of this group if you do lots of conversations tend to happen I'm glad someone down south enjoys this music as much as I do👍ps. Allison has released a solo LP that is more dance oriented however it's very good oh pps. Madonna had stated that Goldfrapp's music was her inspiration for "Confessions on the Dancefloor"

@@nunc-hic-stans4211Nah , that’s not silly pride to have excellent taste.

@@nunc-hic-stans4211 yeah it was a Ford Fiesta ad!

A surprise for those who don't know her discography.

@@brunoromeu5856 luckily I know it well. Thanks though

That’s awesome Goldfrapp are very currant . I discover them in 2000 on their first tour in LA so amazing live . Catch them if you can

thought i was the only one. the point is that their music it's still being discovered.

So good!!

I discovered it in May 2013

Why 'damn it' ? Welcome to the world of fantastic music, better late than never mate!

Utopia 👍

unbeaten

Well, perhaps we share _one_ thing in common.

Yaaaas. Also I was just your 69th like

Ike Moon I just came to say the exact same thing. Kat is one of the worst people around at the moment. Grim.

Omg OFC hey Kat 💕 a Queen with taste

Bah nan du coup comment tu peux aimer ça ?

Yeah. This expression of art is unique

This song is the musical version of the famed painting "Girl with a Pearl Earring" by Vermeer: mysterious, breathless beauty & longing. You feel it in every inch of your being!

same story here

He put it ahead of Muse, so he got that right

If I only experienced this three months ago I'd be so happy to hear something this amazing in a world of uninspiring music that we have right now.

James Bond movies without Goldfrapp is plain stupid! Alison should be in exclusive contract with Bond movies... She is bloody phenomenal!

you miss your dog which needs new ears?

si tratta di Ennio Morricone il clan dei siciliani 😊

Me too. I sing it to my pup

Although it was definitely composed with the clone craze back then in mind, it certainly can be applied to AI as well.

Anche per noi un album indimenticabile.....forever!

Me too.

Yep! James Bond? No way!

its pure trip hop

The choreography is similar.
