this week's artist is imogen heap. she works solo under this name and collaborates with a band under the name frou frou (said froo froo). where you've heard her: goodnight and go- the oc; let go- garden state; hide and seek- the last kiss.
a little bit of background: imogen jennifer jane heap was born in surrey, england in 1977. she is classically trained in piano, clarinet, and cello, and later taught herself to play drums and guitar.
how she describes her sound: "more madonna than guns'n'roses, more donnie darko than dirty dancing...left of center, electronically sprinkled magic dust over orchestral strings, harps and things, with great lyrics."

Nice, I enjoyed both.
Question, I saw a video a while back on youtube of a women (for some reason imogen heap sounds familiar) that played everything, live, in her songs (She had a lot of keyboard and could remix her voice back into the music and sing along with herself.)
Not sure if it's the same person but I was just reminded of that.
