Knock, knock. Are you alone?
No one's out here and I was not followed
Love, love. You're already home
Party's over and you don't look so good

You find your way back down
And I'll keep the area clear (please clear the area)
When you find your way back down - in one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here - (right here) right here (right here)

Low light, mercury morning
No need to stay as it's always nothing
But your eyes tell a whole other story
And I feel the weight of the world
You won't talk (won't talk)
You won't try (won't try)
Just move (just move)
It's too still in your sadness
Cry (cry)
Give up (give up)
It's okay (it's okay)
You've just got to trust me

You find your way back down
And I'll keep the area clear (please clear the area)
When you find your way back down - in one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here - (right here) right here (right here)

Slowly (slowly)
Darling (darling)
Nobody means any more to me than you
If you're in (if you're in)
Baby, then I'm in (into this)
With you always
Careful (careful)
Close to the edge (you're scaring me)
Fall in to my arms (away with it all)
Fall (fall) into love
Love

You find your way back down
And I'll keep the area clear (please clear the area)
When you find your way back down - in one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here - (right here) right here (right here)

You find your way back down (way back down)
And I'll keep the area clear (so, please clear the area)
When you find your way back down - in one piece
Then I'll just be waiting here - (right here) right here (right here)

That could be because Immi is 1/2 of Frou Frou. :)


Is she Frou or Frou?

My train had just passed the German border and wound through the Swiss mountain scenery tamed by man (and woman), when this album came on – it was breathtaking!

We saw Josh Groban last week at the O2 and he was supported by Ms Heap.  Just her and a piano, brought in at short notice, it appeared.  No backing, no tech.  It felt like she had been hung out to dry and the audience didn't appreciate it.  It wasn't a pleasant experience in places.  Shame.  Perhaps it was the "arena" thing that didn't work.

Just saw Immi in concert at the Mountain Winery, Saratoga.  She is truly one of the most talented musicians of our generation.  She's an amazing singer, pianist, songwriter, and performer... and just a wonderful human being.  She had a contest in each city, inviting the winners up on stage to sing "Earth" A Capella, and it was just incredible.
Her songs get better with every listen.  Every song, every album.  They're all good.

I highly recommend the special 2 CD version of her new album (Ellipse) that you can order from her site, where the 2nd CD is the same as the first, sans vocals.  The instrumental versions of some of her songs really show the depth of her songwriting and recording skills... layer upon layer of cool melodies.

What IS it about her voice that makes me melt?  I love it. She can whisper, shout, scream, croon, and put all manner of inflections on every syllable she sings. The woman is amazing. Another new favorite vocalist.  Thanks, RP!

She is the coolest. I haven't looked forward so much to an album in a long time as I'm anticipating Ellipse, to be released August 25. The v-blogs of her creative process in developing the songs on it have whetted my interest even more.

I submitted "Hide and Seek" recently, not checking far enough down the Imogen Heap submission list to see that it had been rejected already.  I got an instant "sorry."  Maybe it's the vocorder, but I think it's an amazing track too!

Nice selection, umm selector? If you like Imogen Heap you might like her Later incarnation as "Frou Frou". She's done tons of soundtrack songs too. If you like Zack Braff stuff you'll know what I mean. All I need now is some Death Cab for Cutie, hang on isn't that.....

I thought I recognized the voice: She sings on an LHB album in a song called Coming Up for Air. I love artists who play with different bands. Makes me think of British rock bands from the seventies who had no trouble collaborating with each other.

Posted 17 years ago by jjbix    [ Reply ]
Though this goes beautifully after Teardrop, it's not one of her best... lyrics aren't generally her strong point. I feel bad criticizing this, because the smooth glide between this song and the previous is absolutely inspired, but I think I might have tried "Let Go" from her time with Frou Frou, or perhaps Headlock, off this same album, instead. But this is pretty great anyway. And I love Feist too. This set is goddamn awesome.

I was really sorry she didn't get more deserved attention at last night's Grammy's. She was nominated for Best New Artist... and we RPers know she rocks our world... not some American Idol (second placer...) who doesn't write her own songs let alone produce the whole album in her bedroom!!!! For you New Yorkers, I just today got an email she's playing at Bowery Ballroom on 15 February - 2 shows. I recommend highly if you haven't seen Immy live.

One of the best artist finds in years. Her transition from rocker (I Megaphone) through Frou Frou and now her latest solo effort reveals an artist of great depth and talent. Mis-categorized by the industry (Hot Dance?) and too easily dismissed as euro-pop on first hearing. Subsequent listenings reveal true studio talent with magic fingers on the sound board and mix software.

Hey, not too bad. She didn't yodel or breath all over us in this tune. That fact alone raises this mundane number from a 3 to a solid 4!

On the issue of Imogen Heap.. love her voice, but like anything .. you have to take it in moderation.. I could listen to several songs in a row, but like the fact that here on RP, you get that mix .. so you don't hear song after song, for 12 or 13 tracks of just one artist, or else I'd be psychotic or emotionally unbalanced by the end of it.. I also love that her voice is so distinct that you can spot it nearly anywhere .. just like Cocteau Twins (yeah I think I butchered the spelling) you hear them, know who they are, and if in the right spot get a little twinkle in your eye or twitch of a smile because you know something that not many do know.. albeit here we are many... but in the rest of the world.. Cocteau who? Immo what? slartibart_O wrote:
RP is an interesting place. You get to see negative, bitter old coots that bitch about lots of songs,
Calling or "referencing" to someone as a bitter old coot isn't exactly being polite nor accepting yourself. There will be those that dont' like some types of music, just like I hate mainly both kinds of music, country and western (sorry just a joke from The Blues Brothers) in any case.. that some don't rate music can also be said that they don't because they realize the music isn't for "them" (like me and Reggae or some country/western)but then when they find something they like, want to make sure it doesn't get nixed by others as easily. Case in point I rarely rate 1's though I have, and rarely rate 10's, though again, I have and I am more than willing to change my rating, unfortunately there is no "delete my rating" for an individual song.

Yeah, I hear you. In the years I have been listening to RP and following the musical discussions, there has sure been a lot of people complaining, sometimes whining, about the music played. It seems some people love to share their dislike with the world. Me, I tend to only comment on the music I like and leave the rest. Why waste time and energy on the things you do not like? But that is just me though. Oh, pretty good song by the way. I like the voice.

i agree. i am amazed at all the negative comments. if you don't like, change the station. that's what i do when i don't like the stream. it's always amazing to me that everyone else out there think they can do a better job. let me know when you start your own radio station--i'll come listen to it peace slartibart_O wrote:
RP is an interesting place. You get to see negative, bitter old coots that bitch about lots of songs, praise few and then don't bother to rate any songs in case someone should care to check and see just what DOES this guy like? Radiohead.. well there you go. Stick their CD in your drive and knock yourself out. If I didn't like any more than you do here than I sure as hell wouldn't stick around. Ever thought about just changing the station? I listen because I want to hear stuff I have never heard anywhere else and if RP only played the songs that in my narrow minded opinion rate from a 5 to an 8 I'd still think it was one of the better stations I've ever listened to. It's the 7's to 9's and a rare 10 that keep me listening. (and I rate songs for my own reference, I could care less if you agree or not)
