To introduce this compilation of hits, the duo of Will Gregory and Alison Golfrap treat fans to "Yellow Halo," a slow-churning synth pop gem that is one of the two new tracks included on the album alongside the "defiant" new wave ballad "Melancholy Sky." A video (that was enirely shot on an iPhone) for "Yellow Halo" was released on Vevo this week and features a meaningful ending with a live soundbyte of Alison thanking her fans. 

"The Singles" is marked as a "career-spanning overview" that features tracks from the duo's five critically acclaimed albums. A press release notes," Goldfrapp has explored a range of musical styles in their songs, although many songs are characterized by Alison Goldfrapp's distinctive breathy, soft soprano vocals and Will Gregory's multi-layered synthesizer and string arrangements." 

The cover art of "The Singles" also recycles some of Goldfrapp's history, showing a collage that reflects bits and pieces from their previous album art. "The Singles" includes the group's best musical moments - ranging from their crunchy electro-folk to their stomping disco pop. Songs featured on the greatest hits compilations are "Ooh La La," "Number 1," "Strict Machine," Lovely Head," "Utopia (Genetically Enriched)," "A&E," Happiness," "Train," Ride A White Horse," "Rocket," "Believer," Black Cherry," Yellow Halo" and "Melancholy Sky."
