[Goldfrappe]

I love this song. If you listen to Johnny Mathis' song Too Much Too Little Too Late and Laura Branigan's Gloria, you can definitely hear their influence in this song, I think that Alison did an amalgam/partial cover of their songs on I Wanna Life.

@Goldfrappe thanks for the info! i can definitely hear the similarities with the mathis song

One of the GREATEST artists around these days. This album, "Head First," is right up there with her best stuff. I saw her at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC on June 23rd, and it was the BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lady Gaga and Madonna can't hold a candle to her!

This is more 80ies than the 80ies.

[EvansSt83]

This song sounds like it should be in a montage scene in a movie from the 1980s.

@iluvgoldfrapp Oh and unfortunately the South African iStore does not sell music, only apps, which sucks!

[retromodeable]

@iluvgoldfrapp I have all their albums ;) The albums hardly hit the shelves and it's blaring in my car on my way out the parking lot! But thanks

[iluvgoldfrapp]

@retromodeable if u r new to goldfrapp, their album supernature has some 70s-80s type songs, like number one, white horse and others

[retromodeable]

This definitely more 80's than 80's

@pd18750 Hey how about not bashing other people's music tastes! I'm a massive fan of all three!

[sallyfieldrequired]

really should have been a single, would have done well.

[TINRFD]

@Braun808

Yeah, it´s the 80ies in HD!

[mandilawasabi951]

My favorite off the album:)

[iamthevariable]

@distprod Yeah, I think Seventh Tree is a really polarizing album. It's definitely the black sheep of their albums so far but I think it's genius. I'd go so far as to say it's in my top 10 albums ever.

[jonathanemopunk10]

GREAT SONG ♥

[iluvgoldfrapp]

@distprod they did perform a few like little bird which was pretty good actually. but yeah 7th tree was not my fav

[distprod]

@iamthevariable Yuck, I think Seventh Tree is the worst album of all the ones they have ever done. It's telling that they didn't perform a single song from that album on their latest tour. I hate that organic folksy sound, it doesn't fit them at all. I agree that Black Cherry is right up there at the top with Head First for me. I really like Rocket, Dreaming, Head First, Shiny and Warm and this track, I Wanna Life. I love when the bassline drops in this track.

[MrMDC01]

i hope you get one SLH.

@Braun808 ehh

[FoxZo83]

I LOVE THIS SONG! It totally captures the carefree attitude of the 70s but updates it with a harder, gritty beat.  I want to fall in love to this song!

@DJNitty poz i z hrvatske.

[mustakrakish53]

@drumxmajor true indeed.

[iluvgoldfrapp]

@UKKingArthur alisons voice sounds very natural to me. while other female singers either sound like men, little girls or space aliens

[UKKingArthur]

Alison has the best Voice - (Check out Goldfrapp - Utopia live at Somerset House) - You will not catch Lady Gaga and Madonna doing this, although I love them too, Alison's voice is just too powerful to compare.

[iamthevariable]

This album is still growing on me. To me Head First, while it has a few great tracks such as this one, wasn't up to snuff with the others.

1) Seventh Tree

2) Black Cherry

3) Felt Mountain

4) Supernature

5) Head First

@pd18750 - I love Goldfrapp but it's really not fair to compare her to Madonna. Madonna is an international legend. Goldfrapp still hasn't been able to crack America. If you're an American too, you know that we're the only ones who have a clue who she is (and that's only thanks to trip hop). If it weren't for commercials playing "Strict Machine" and "Fly Me Away," Americans wouldn't get to hear her at all.

And lay off Lady Gaga. Don't be a music snob; there's plenty of room in pop for all.
