Imogen Heap


Being a fan of Frou Frou, its surprising that I've only just discovered the voice behind that short lived indie band.
I'm slightly ashamed to admit it but I originally thought that it was a man that provided the somewhat androgynous vocals. In fact those vocals are voiced by a lady known as Imogen Heap.

Imogen Heap keeps a video blog which makes for pleasant watching. Her sense of style is definitely individual and she occasionally lets you hear what she is working on. Discovering how tracks are thought through and how certain sound affects and vocal arrangements are created is something most artists like to keep under their hats. It's refreshing having that insight with Imogen and her music. Her fireplace is also damn nice (you can tell I'm trying to do up my house at the moment).

Sometimes she rambles a bit in her video entries and a few of her tracks really aren't my bag. I am however, known to be seriously picky about what I listen to so for an artist to only have a couple of tracks that I don't like is very unusual. Regardless, I like her approach to her fan base and most of the time her sound is right on the money.
