Alive (Goldfrapp song)
"Alive" is a synthpop song by English duo Goldfrapp from their fifth studio album, ''Head First''. Written and produced by Alison Goldfrapp and Will Gregory, with additional production by Richard X, the song was released as the album's second single on 7 June 2010. The music video premiered on YouTube on 20 May 2010. "Alive" was their first full release to have no CD format issued, instead supported by a digital remix EP and a limited edition 7" picture disc. The single failed to chart on the UK Singles Chart, but nevertheless became Goldfrapp's fifth single to top the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart. The track has been heavily used in promos for Australian television channel Eleven.
==Critical reception==
"Alive" received positive reviews from music critics. Robert Copsey of Digital Spy stated: "Beginning with a piano riff reminiscent of vintage Elton, 'Alive' builds towards a fantastic arms-in-the-air chorus on which Goldfrapp proclaims 'I'm feeling alive again' over gorgeously warm 80s-style synths." Heather Phares of Allmusic wrote that the song "channels ABBA with percolating guitars, warm keyboards and synths that sparkle like falling stars or a shower of glitter." Peter Paphides from ''The Times'' referred to "Alive" as Billy Joel's 1980 number-one hit "It's Still Rock and Roll to Me" as if "marinaded in amyl nitrate and recast to lyrics that sound like a great lost Brutus jeans jingle." BBC Music reviewer Ian Wade felt that "while 'Alive' initially echoes The Feeling, it soon expands into a broader wonder evocative of ELO's most-imperial phase." Barry Nicolson of the ''NME'' noted that the track "treads along on an infuriatingly familiar-sounding piano hook modernised by Gregory's whip-smart production." Andy Gill of ''The Independent'' opined that "the Elton-esque piano chords of 'Alive' () recall the indulgent, bogus innocence of 1970s AOR pop excess with Spandex-tight accuracy." ''Spin'' magazine's Lindsey Thomas commented that the song "wears its influences proudly, flaunting the shimmery squiggles that denoted muse-y magic in ''Xanadu''."
