 Excellent and Chill

| Bought this CD after having heard a few songs from it and loving them. The CD did not disappoint. The lyrics are poignant and clever and the music is chill but interesting. I love to play this CD at work or when I'm driving. |

 Complex original music that pulls you in.

Never heard of Imogen Heap until rented movie "Garden State". While going thru the music credits, found a cool song by "Frou Frou", which led to Imogen Heap, then further internet search. When I heard this CD, was asounded. Who is this? and how did she do it?
This music is complex, rich, textured, layered, very original. Interesting evocative rhythms, arrangements, melodies, crystal clear vocals. It stays with you, pulls you in, grows on you. Her style is vaguely reminiscent of some of my favorite independent artists from the 80's, but she goes well beyond them into her own original territory. You can feel some influence by Peter Gabriel, Laurie Anderson, Kate Bush, Jane Siberry. But this is no cheap copy of anyone. This lays down real new ground. Imogen is a great artist. This is timeless music.
She apparently(?) did the sound production too, very tight, clear, excellent. How can 1 person be so talented? May have been inspired by Peter Gabriel's dictum to "Do It Yourself". Anyway, take a listen to the samples. If you like original music, this will not disappoint. |

 Mostly what I expected.

| "Speak for Yourself" is a solidly produced, enjoyable album. I was impressed and pleased enough with a few songs on the album, such as "The Walk" (which is the song that drove me to buy the album), to feel that I made a good purchase. It's a real pleasure to listen to the vocalist sing. Existing fans of Imogen Heap may appreciate and enjoy "Speak for Yourself" more than I did; I see lots of glowing remarks from other reviewers here. Personally I found some of the songs to be lyrically lacking, and some of the tracks are somewhat forgettable and uninteresting. Production is very high-quality and I never noticed anything poorly recorded or implemented. If you're already a fan of Imogen Heap or Frou Frou, I would certainly recommend you purchase this as well. |

Just like heaven

Between the sound of Imogen's music and her voice it's (to quote 'The Cure') just like heaven! She's a very unique talent. She manages to be very different without being overbearing. At first you don't really pay much attention to the lyrics because her voice/music just overtakes you and you (me) are just in awe. But after a few listens, you realize she's a gifted poet as well! Although we don't hear her stuff on the radio,(rarely any good music is played on the radio any way,) I think her sound is still commercially viable and can't be denied that it's completely addicting. I first heard of her from the Garden State soundtrack, Frou Frou's 'Let Go.' I wondered how I could have been so in the dark about a brilliant group(Frou Frou); i.e. artist, Imogen Heap.
P.S.
If you like Imogen, guarantee Kate Havnevick will be your cup of tea:) |
