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 Uhelszki2) Album Description
2002 debut album for duo comprised of musician/vocalist Imogen Heap & producer/arranger/songwriter/musician Guy Sigsworth (who's worked with Bjork on 'Homogenic' & 'Vespertine' & Madonna on 'What It Feels Like for a Girl').

1) Frou Frou [Rating: 3 out of 5]
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.2) Imogen's a genius [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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.3) FM Radio Whammy [Rating: 5 out of 5]
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.4) If you enjoy Jem or Dido... [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If you enjoy other artists such as Dido or Jem then you'll love Frou Frou's Details. The songs are upbeat and fun. Her (Imogen Heap) lyrics describe love and loss. She has an incredible voice and many of her songs have been featured in movies and TV shows. I highly recommended this CD.5) Speak For Yourself [Rating: 5 out of 5]
F A B U L O U S !!! I just can't stop listening to Imogen Heap. I've ripped this CD to my laptop my desktop and it's in the CD player in my van. What in extrodinary talent she is!
