Saw a program about her last night as I was channel-flicking just before going to bed, her voice really caught me as they were playing one of her songs, so I scribbed down her name and got hold of Speak for Yourself (latest album) today, I'm going to go and buy some more of her albums tommorow, she was part of a project called Frou-Frou apparently (prefer having the CDs tbh).

I can't believe I haven't heard of her before!! Her music's great, there's a nice mix of electronic and acoustic sounds going on and her voice is quite unique. She produces all of her music herself in her home studio aswell and truely seems to be an artist rather than just a singer/songwriter who she could be likened to on first impression I suppose. I think it's a mix of Bjork meets Tori Amos :confused:

On the TV show last night she explained how she wrote and recorded the track Hide and Seek from the album, she's using a vocoder which harmonises her voice according to what she's playing on a keyboard, this is probably my favourite track on the whole album.

Does anyone else on her like her at all? Anyone else who hasn't heard of her here's a LINK to her myspace music profile which has some good tracks on it off her latest album.

:cool:

EDIT: Oh yeah and she's playing at the Leeds Met on the 27th Sept, I'm definately going, she's starting her UK tour in Sept which runs through until Oct afaik.

I might see you there. :) :cool:

I think she is most notably known by young'uns at the moment for her dramatic songs shown in season finale's of The Oc, which is where I heard of her. I had a few Frou Frou songs previous to that, but on the event of The Oc season 2 with Hide and Seek, I heard it and loved it, I got her album and there are some amazing songs on there; Headlock, Goodnight and Go. :)

Oh excellent! :D Yeah on that proggy last night she mentioned they'd used a couple of her songs on there before (Goodnight and Go the first I believe).

I'm going to ask a couple of my bandmates if they want to come along to the gig, although to be honest I'm not sure it'll be their type of thing, so if you don't mind you might find me bumming along with you :D Muahaha..yes ahem.
