Music Out Now

Imogen Heap - Ellipse

After touring Speak For Yourself across Europe and America, Imogen was eager to get back to recording and start work on her third solo album, Ellipse. For inspiration, she set out on a writing trip which took her to Maui, Tasmania, China and Japan.

The song, "Wait It Out", was started sitting at a piano in a house in Maui, overlooking the Pacific Ocean, in March 2007. A multi-instrumentalist with what seems to be limitless creative ability , the culmination of eccentric style and a sound which is unlike anything else, Imogen's an artist who isn't afraid to experiment, either with her music or with her relationship with her fans.

Her new album once again seduces you into a world where fantasy and reality meet in an atmospheric dream state, to be the musical soulmate of both Casablanca and Bladerunner. It's organic electronica. Hauntingly beautiful computer music. Avant-garde. Otherworldly. Comforting. Tantalising. Heaven on a disc.
