Alison Goldfrapp shares the songs that have sound-tracked the ups and downs of her life

Alison talks to practising psychotherapist and 6 Music DJ Nemone about how music affects her mental health and well-being, sharing the songs that have comforted and connected.

Alison Goldfrapp, the intriguing, enigmatic singer of electronic duo Goldfrapp, chats to practising psychotherapist and 6 Music DJ Nemone about how music affects her mental health and well-being, sharing the songs that have comforted and connected. Alison also reveals how she expresses thoughts, feelings and emotions through her own music and lyrics.

Alison and band-mate Will Gregory formed Goldfrapp in 1999, releasing their d茅but album Felt Mountain in 2000. The Grammy-nominated duo have released seven studio albums since the turn of the Millennium and supremely danceable singles such as 'Strict Machine', 'Ooh La La' and 'Happiness'. They have also shown their vulnerable side with tender tracks such as 'A&E', 'Annabel' and 'Lovely Head'. Last September, Goldfrapp were awarded the Ivor Novello 'Inspiration Award'.

Early on in her career, Alison collaborated with Orbital on their album 'Snivilisation', recorded with Dreadzone and sung alongside Tricky. Most recently, she has collaborated with 搁枚测办蝉辞辫辫 on the brilliant track 'Impossible', released earlier this year.

In this programme, Alison talks about her unconventional childhood, her relationship with nature, and how she found her voice. Featuring music from Bob Marley, Prince, The Specials, Kelly Lee Owens and Nina Simone.
