"Lovely Head" (2000) |
"Utopia" (2000) |
"Lovely Head" is an electronic song written by British group Goldfrapp for their debut studio album Felt Mountain (2000). The song was produced by Goldfrapp and received a positive reception from music critics. It was released as their first single in the second quarter of 2000, but failed to make an impact on any major singles chart. In November 2001, it was re-issued as a double A-side single with "Pilots" and reached the top seventy-five in the United Kingdom.
