G'day m'dears.
It's a bit of a biggie this week, so...... Here we go!
Ooh La La is finally being played out in the big wide world - hope you like
it! We can now reveal to you the full tracklisting of the new single
including an exclusive new track (not on the new album) and a stack of great
remixes (which have already topped the dance charts).
Once again, it will be on 2 CD singles and a DVD:
CD1
Ooh La La - Single Version
All Night Operator (Part 1) - exclusive brilliant new song
CD2
Ooh La La - Benny Benassi Remix - Extended
Ooh La La - Phones Re-edit
Ooh La La - Tiefschwarz Dub
DVD
Ooh La La - Video
Ooh La La - Little Pictures (exclusive footage)
Ooh La La - When Andy Bell Met Manhattan Clique Mix (Audio)
A couple of things to bear in mind - we've listened to your comments from
previous releases and done our best to get not only the video to the single
on the DVD format, but we've made a special montage of making the album,
doing photo sessions and shooting the video to create a second visual track
too. Also on the DVD single is a remix from our label mate Erasure's Andy
Bell, who joins in the fun by adding some vocals of his own!
Also, the second CD will be LIMITED TO ONE WEEK ONLY! So we strongly urge
you to get down your local music emporium and pre-order it now, as it will
soon be gone, snapped up, all gone, finito. There may also be a limited
edition version of the album too. We'll let you know about that in a couple
of weeks, but you might wanna enquire with the man about that one too.
In the UK, wonderful Radio 1 are currently playing the record. In fact we
are single of the week with Scott Mills, which is lovely. If you want to
enthuse your Frapp luv to them, you can go here -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/feedback/ - pick a show and let em know! Hopefully
you'll hear more of the La La on Radio 1 very soon. If you are in Scotland,
then you'll also hear us on Beat 106 and in London XFM are playing the
record. Meanwhile, in France it's already being played on Europe 2, and in
Australia on Triple J, which we're simply thrilled about - listen out for it
and let us know what you think.
Other things to keep em peeled for in the UK: press wise, there's a nice
piece coming up in The Guardian (18th July), The Times (25th July), Gay
Times (25th July), DJ (1st Aug), Q (nice feature 1st Aug) and bags more to
follow. They're all using lots of lovely new pictures too.
The video will be shown exclusively on Channel 4 tonight at 2.20 am. It's
kinda late thanks to the weirdos in that house (Big Bro), but you can set
the VCR. It will then be played on Popworld on Sunday, and it's also being
shown on the MTV Dance channel. It will be on The Box channel as of next
Friday, so if you have that and want to see more of the vid, then please
vote away! In the meantime, you can watch a 30 second snippet of it on the
Supernature page of the website and the full length stream will go up by the
end of next week.
OK; now added to the website are 30 second snippets of all the album tracks,
so feast yr ears upon them. We'll add full length ones in a few weeks. There
are also a couple of neat little ecards - click on the chest of the horse,
and up they pop.
There's a pile of stuff going on the website next week, including a full
length stream of the single, streams of the remixes, some photos from the
making of the video and - best of all - the Q&A using your questions -
you'll see that next week too.
Last, but by no means least in any way, shape or form, is the all singing
all dancing live spectacular that is the Goldfrapp live show, and it's
