Well, Frou Frou is a duo consisting of Imogen Heap on vocals and Guy Sigsworth on production. The latter is the big producer who has worked on projects by Madonna (What It Feels Like For A Girl), Bjork (Homogenic, Vespertine), Lamb (What Sound), and Mandalay (Solace) among others. The former had an underrated and quickly deleted album released by Almo Sounds in 1998.
Imogen's vocals is haunting, with an ethereal quality that is like Sarah McLachlan while Guy's production is impeccable. The duo is very potent and delivers an excellent song in the form of Breathe In. A mixture of pop and alternative trip. Several remixes appear alongside the original including the Watkin's Mix and the very exceeltnt but unreleased Ben Watt (of EBTG) Mix.
Their album Details are supposedly to be released in the UK this month followed by the US on August 13. Look out if tou'd like something that's different from the usual US chart fare.
