Imogen Heap

I was just thinking of writing about Imogen Heap, when [Paul Irish](/archive/2005-08-13-singin-in-the-rain) posted his recent interview with her over at [aurgasm](http://aurgasm.us/). I found his site a couple months ago when I was putting together a college radio show proposal. The demo I had just compiled had her (excellent) track, “Hide And Seek”, and after playing the song for my roommate, we were thinking of possible names that played off ‘aural’ (my first idea was ’[aural fixation](http://jruckman.com/portfolio/images/29.jpg)’, but [that’s already been done](http://auralfixradio.org/)). He suggested 'aurgasm’, and a Google search later I had found an excellent source for new music. Now, that search has come full circle … or something … it’s a damn small world regardless.

Narcissism aside, Imogen is best known as the voice of Frou Frou, specifically her single “Let Go”, featured in the movie Garden State last year. Her newest solo album, Speak For Yourself, just came out in the UK, and is set for US release the first of November (that’s Imogen above, having just purchased a copy for herself). It’s already the 277th most popular album on Amazon (US) with more than ten days left until its arrival.

She also has both a blog and a Flickr account, which she updates semi-frequently. She found the photographer for her album’s liner notes on Flickr by searching for photos tagged with 'London’.

I’ll leave the rest to Paul, as he has a lot more information, a number of her songs available for download, and some of her music recommendations as well – although you can download “Hide And Seek” here if you like.
