简介:Named after the French word for the rustle of silk,Frou Frou´s debut album exudes cool,stylish elegance.Singer Imogene 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,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.Ultimately, quality singing and composing are the things that make Details a cut above much of the electronic Europop that came out in 2002.
