Tonight on The Artist Hour, we're celebrating the birthday of a true icon: our featured artist is Alison Goldfrapp, a visionary performer, vocalist, and songwriter who has spent more than two decades redefining the edges of pop, electronica, and art-rock.

Best known as one half of the genre-blurring duo Goldfrapp, Alison rose to prominence in the early 2000s with a sound that was always in motion. From the cinematic elegance of their debut Felt Mountain to the glam-electro stomp of Black Cherry and Supernature, Goldfrapp carved out a space that was experimental but accessible, ambitious yet intimate.

Over the years, her voice has remained one of the most distinctive in modern music, ethereal, seductive, and completely unmistakable. Whether layering over dreamy synths or cutting through harder-edged dance production, Alison Goldfrapp has always brought a sense of theatricality and control to her work.

Tonight’s show will take listeners through highlights from across her career, including solo material and key collaborations, most notably with Röyksopp, with whom she crafted some of her most adventurous and forward-thinking work in recent years.

Alison’s influence reaches far beyond her own discography. Her visual world, rich in surrealism, sensuality, and fashion-forward flair, Today Radiohas helped shape the aesthetic of 21st-century electronic pop. Yet behind the style is substance: a catalogue that’s emotionally resonant, musically bold, and consistently evolving.

Join us for a full hour dedicated to her career, as we mark Alison Goldfrapp’s birthday with a curated selection of tracks that reflect her artistry and innovation.

The Artist Hour airs every Tuesday and Thursday at 8pm on Today Radio.
