Goldfrapp remixes Lady Gaga
The English electronic music duo Goldfrapp have remixed Lady Gaga’s “Judas”. A video was released on the official Lady Gaga YouTube channel. In the meantime Goldfrapp fans are discussing whether or not this was a submission on spec or not (on spec meaning that it is an unpaid mix). Whatever the reason is, just judge for yourself.
Goldfrapp are currently working on a new album. The band which is currently labelless will be releasing a ‘Best Of’ album in Fall/Winter 2011.

Vince remixes Goldfrapp
“Believer”, the new single from Goldfrapp, has been released by Mute (you can order it here at iTunes). Included on the single is a remix by synthPop legend Vince Clarke. “Believer” is the third sngle taken from Goldfrapp’s “Head First” album. The remix sounds rather retro, even reminding us of somewhat of the last Yazoo album “You and Me Both”. You can check for yourself after the jump!
