Bath, England's singer/composer/keyboardist Allison Goldfrapp began exploring music as a part of her studies as a Fine Art Painting major at Middlesex University, mixing sound, visuals, and performances in her installation pieces. While she was still in college, she appeared on her friend Tricky's 1995 debut Maxinquaye, which led to appearances on albums from other cutting-edge electronic artists, including Orbital's Snivilisation and Add N to X's Avant Hard. By the late '90s, Goldfrapp began honing her own compositions; one of her friends passed some of her demos on to composer Will Gregory. Finding much in common in their musical tastes and approaches, the duo took Allison's surname as the name for their collaboration. After signing to Mute in 1999, Goldfrapp delivered their debut album, Felt Mountain, in fall 2000. Felt Mountain went on to nealry universal acclaim and spawned several singles, including the Utopia Genetically Enriched EP, which arrived in early 2001. After spending most of that year touring, Goldfrapp spent most of 2002 recording and returned with Black Cherry in spring 2003. 2005 saw the release of the Ooh La La single and the full-length Supernature, both of which continued the disco and glam-rock influences of the duo's previous album. 2008's The Seventh Tree moved in a calmer, more acoustic-based, but just as sonically lush direction.

A member of the New York anti-folk scene that developed in the early part of the 21st century, singer/songwriter Jaymay has drawn comparisons to Feist and Laura Veirs with her wistful vocals and literate, folksy narratives. Jaymay spent her childhood in Long Island, where she was raised alongside five siblings and developed an early love for books, violin, piano, and the Bob Dylan songbook. Following college, she relocated to Manhattan with the intention of pursuing a publishing career, but a successful performance at a local open mic night convinced her to focus on songwriting instead. More performances followed, and Jaymay released Jaymay & Kayoko and the Sea Green, See Blue EP in 2006. The popularity of these releases earned her a contract with the London-based Heavenly Records, who issued Jaymay's official debut, Autumn Fallin', in November 2007. An American release followed in early 2008.
