I don't quite know how Imogen Heap isn't bigger in the United States. Her music is mainstream sounding enough to fit in with the Pop world, but still indie enough to qualify as "Alternative." Yet neither has truly latched onto her music.
She started out in 1998 releasing a solo album "I Megaphone," to critical acclaim. She fell victim to record label douchebaggery though, and went through a rough stretch of years where her career was in limbo.
In 2001, she had teamed up with Guy Sigsworth, who had produced a track on her debut album, and formed the duo Frou Frou. They released an album entitled "Details" in 2002, and led it off with the single "Breathe In." They gathered more attention with their song "Let Go" from the "Garden State" soundtrack. Imogen Heap decided to pursue a second solo album after this.
In 2005, she released "Speak For Yourself," first in the UK, and eventually in the US, to more critical acclaim, and some better public recognition. She has finally followed this up with the album "Ellipse," to be released on August 25th.
We feature the first single off her new album. Enjoy "First Train Home" by Imogen Heap.
