Named after the French word for the rustle of silk, Frou Frou's debut album exudes cool, stylish elegance. Singer Imogen Heap's soft, whispery vocals intone dreamy lyrics of doomed romances and slow recoveries. The songs are penned by Heap and her partner, producer Guy Sigsworth (Björk, Madonna), who manned the board on Heap's 1998 solo album I Megaphone. Even the mighty Brian Eno gets into the act, with a cowriting credit on the soul-bearing "Hear Me Out." In fact, all 11 tracks deal with love and fractured relationships, hauntingly beautiful both in their stark emotional content and the equally sparse arrangements that showcase Heap's ethereal voice, which she uses as a subtle weapon, much like Joni Mitchell circa 1970's Ladies of the Canyon, with the same heart-stopping yet effortless octave leaps. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews

Frou Frou
Track 1 and Track 4 are the best songs on the CD. She has a nice voice so if you want to relax this is a good CD to listen to.

Imogen's a genius
I actually got Imogen Heaps solo album before I got this one and I liked it so much I went back to listen to Frou Frou. It's fantastic work. No second guessed attempts. I love music that has lots going on at once. I have a fairly stout Polk set up and if you care about all the ranges, her music will employ a good system. Great stuff.

This is one of those, WHO IS THIS, I'VE GOT TO HAVE IT!!! Reviews.

Being a person afflicted with a sensitivity to the type of music presented here by "Frou Frou", I can only say that the music and lyrics of this compilation struck a cord in a positive way.

All star support engineering and production line up mated up well to produce a winning compilation with the artist!!!

Shortly stated this is in my top 10 frequently played list for 2008.

Highly recommended for those who are wondering.
