Goldfrapp draws inspiration from a range of artists and genres. Alison Goldfrapp listened to T.Rex and Iggy Pop as a teenager and discovered Serge Gainsbourg while working in Belgium. TRex (occasionally spelled T Rex or T-Rex) were an English rock band fronted by guitarist singer and songwriter Marc Bolan. James Newell Osterberg Jr (born April 21, 1947) better known by his Stage name Iggy Pop, is an American rock singer Songwriter Serge Gainsbourg ɡɛ̃'zbuʁ (2 April 1928 &ndash 2 March 1991 was a French Poet, Singer-songwriter, Actor and The Kingdom of Belgium is a Country in northwest Europe.

Poland (Polska officially the Republic of Poland The term Weimar Republic ( ˈvaɪmarɐ repuˈbliːk is used by historians to signify the democratic and Republican period of Germany from 1919 to 1933 [47] Will Gregory's musical background was classical music and has cited Ennio Morricone as his main influence. Classical music is a broad term that usually refers to mainstream music produced in or rooted in the traditions of Western liturgical and Secular music Ennio Morricone OMRI (born November 10, 1928) is an acclaimed Italian Academy Award -winning composer [7] Other media, including film, have had an impact on Goldfrapp; Alison Goldfrapp cites Roman Polanski's psychological thriller Cul-de-Sac, the cult film The Wicker Man, and the James Bond franchise as influences. Psychological thriller is a specific sub-genre of the wide-ranging thriller genre for other uses see Cul-de-sac (disambiguation Cul-de-Sac is a 1966 British Psychological thriller directed by the A cult film is a Film that has acquired a highly devoted but relatively small group of fans. James Bond 007 is a Fictional character created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, who featured him in twelve Novels and two Short story [6][48] They also draw inspiration from surrealism and nature, all of which appear in the bands's album artwork, which Goldfrapp designs. Surrealism is a cultural movement that began in the early-1920s and is best known for the visual artworks and writings of the group members [8]

The majority of band's songs are composed by Goldfrapp and Gregory, although they have collaborated with session musician Nick Batt several times. Session musicians are musicians available for hire as opposed to musicians who are either permanent members of a musical outfit or who have acquired fame in their own right They have called their writing sessions a "democratic affair", playing off one another while in the recording studio. [4] However, Goldfrapp is responsible for the lyrics. While writing, Goldfrapp uses her vocals to create melodies and drumbeats. [49] Gregory composes his music on vintage keyboards, interpreting the mood of Goldfrapp's lyrics. [49] Alison Goldfrapp believes that "music is a visual experience" and therefore visualizes her lyrics before writing them. Her songwriting is characterized by its use of animals to describe human emotions and status. [4]
