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 Uhelszki

Rating: 
- Relaxing...
So relaxing, smooth, jazzy & easy listening appeal. Frou Frou has a classic voice. This particular album is the perfect driving music to listen to after leaving work.
Rating: 
- Inconsistently stunning but altogether very good
3 1/2
Yes, it all cannot live up to the intensely and dramatically beautiful starting track (with a few more included), nor does it try to. But with layered, intelligent production, and Heap's personal delivery, even casual mid-tempo numbers closer to autopilot resonate with authenticity.

- Good album...not great.
Good music.Only a couple really great songs.I wish the whole album was in the "great" category...unfortuantely this one is not.
Rating: - Frou Frou review
Frou Frou was a new artist to me that I discovered while listening to pandora, she has a very unique sound and I enjoy this CD very much.
Rating: - Discovered Imogen Heap While Enroute to Paris
I was on a long and boring flight to Paris when this album popped up on my in-flight radio program. After listening to two songs, I just knew had to get my hands on a copy of the CD. I listened to the album all summer and really enjoyed sharing it with my friends. When I got back to America I had to buy a second copy because I gave my first copy away.
My favorite songs are "Hear Me Out" and "Flicks". I could listen to these two songs for the rest of my life and never get tired of them. ... Read More
