Imogen Heap (born 9 December 1977 in the London Borough of Havering) is a Grammy nominated English singer and songwriter from Romford, Havering. She is known for her work as part of Frou Frou and for her 2005 solo record Speak for Yourself, which she wrote, produced and mixed. In 2006, Heap was nominated for two Grammy Awards. She has produced three solo albums, the latest of which is 2009's Ellipse which was an immediate North American chart success. For her solo work (as well as her work with Frou Frou and Acacia), Heap specialises in heavily produced and arranged singer-songwriter pop incorporating elements of rock, dance and electronica. As a guest player and collaborator she has proved flexible, working within rock (Jeff Beck), hip-hop (Urban Species) and theatre/film music. Heap is notable for her use of manipulated electronic sounds (and is in demand as a remixer). In a 2005 interview, she commented “I just love crafting and shaping sounds. Actually, many of the sounds that I work with start off as organic instruments - guitar, piano, clarinet, etc. But I do love the rigidity of electronic drums... I would record live drums, and then I would spend a day editing them to take the life out of them. I like to breathe my own life into these sounds, and I do try to keep the ‘air’ in the music. Some people think electronic music is cold, but I think that has more to do with the people listening than the actual music itself." Heap also mixes ambient sound into her music where appropriate: “One night I decided to record my boyfriend and me eating dinner. I wanted to get the sound of the room. So, on "Hide and Seek", for example, you can actually hear the sound of a frying pan. People might think it sounds like rain, but it’s a frying pan. Certain sounds give the music a width and a space, and that’s important."
Oh my gosh, I love this music!
Hide and Seek is a badass song.
I LOVE HER MUSIC!
hide and seek is KA
I LOVED The Chronicles of Narnia. Remember hearing this song at the very end. She has such an airy voice. Beautiful. It's a shame Frou Frou isn't on the list. If you like THIS song--you'll love that one.(On a sidebar---I don't bash music that I dont prefer and I certainly wouldn't waste my time commenting on it either. Keep your opinions and let others have thiers.
I personally love this song, if i disliked it i wouldnt be sad enough to display my negativity. true music can only be understood by artists!!
Stop being haterz!!!! she is great and she is so unique...its not that star94 crap ya know?
imogen heap, yeah what a heap of sh*t
I think people forget the diff b/w liking and appreciating. I wouldn't listen to Immy on a reg. basis, but I greatly appreciate her talent and unique style. I think her imagination and ideas are way beyond those of mainstream pop and I commend her for that, cuz I'm sick of the same ol' pop every week. She's a pioneer and I have full respect for that.
help me
