| Imogen Heap / Speak for Yourself
This CD has been on constant rotation in my car for the last week or so and quite frankly it's the best CD I've heard this year.
Imogen Heap's vocals are the focal point and she has a truly amazing and unique talent. A blend of Liz Frazer from the Cocteau's, Dido, Enya... and that's just for starters. She seems also to be a talented keyboard player and creates a fantastic electronic/rhythmic tapestry to support the vocals.
Not a bad track on the album, they sound refreshingly different even quirky at times but they never err from melodic and enjoyable sensibilities.
Hide and Seek deserves special mention for it's masterclass vocoder credentials. Have You Got it in You? and Closing In are tremendous, as is Clear the Area. But they are all fantastic.
Highly recommended. The digipak presentation is also a cut above the hum-drum.
