Dec 5, 2005
Pros: Some clever word-play for highly palpable europop
Cons: Dido you can dance to
Summary: Okay, I’m a little behind on this boat, but now I’m addicted. A bunch of years back (2002? 2003?) a friend (in the way friends want to force– I mean share– music) said “hey, you’d really like Frou Frou“. I immediately quipped about Frou-Frou ... read more

Pros: A few stand-out tracks like "Let Go" and "Hear Me Out."
Cons: Nothing outstanding or new in terms of trip hop fare.
Summary: I was a little surprised to learn the lead singer of Frou Frou is a woman. There's just something about vocalist Imogen Heap's voice that has a slightly androgynous feel to it --- which isn't entirely out of keeping with the digital/electronic ... read more

Pros: Imogen Heap's Ethereal Vocals
Lush Arrangements
Cons: Nothing Homicidal
Summary: Like most musical artists nowadays, Frou Frou was introduced to me via MTV. Their video, Breathe In, was heavily played in VH1 and I noticed that it starred Robin Tunney, an actress I kind of admire. I anticipated its play every day for the girl’s ... read more

Pros: Trip pop that will move you
Fantastic vocals
Really well produced
Outstanding debut
Cons: Hard to categorize
Can't be appreciated until you listen to it
Summary: Another gem I picked up by listening to LA based radio station KCRW on either Jason Bentley's Metropolis show or Nic Harcourt's Morning Becomes Eclectic. Either way, I knew the this was going to be a great CD when the song Breathe In started getting ... read more

Pros: Awesome voice, beautiful songs
Cons: Not played on radio, not well known
Summary: Wow... I've heard a lot of great music before, but Frou Frou is up there at the top. The voice is so beautiful, very alluring. Her music makes you stop and think and just realize that living is a great thing, that life is pretty good. Music like this ... read more

Rated Show by the Epinions community Apr 7, 2005
Pros: the best of 80*s lyricism is risen
Cons: is anyone bright enough to appreciate it?
Summary: I can't say enough positive things, but in the end it's your own ears that judge. You will find a delightful lyrical irony married to cutting-edge cut-and-paste musicality that truly defies categorization. The words "Eighties Revival" come to mind (in
