Imogen Heap
“SPEAK FOR YOURSELF”
RATING: 3 SOUND LEVELS
The 27-year-old Brit’s self-produced record shows off not only her ethereal vocals (think Dido with a kick), but also her dreamy, electro-pop melodies, which incorporate layers of swirling keyboards, bells and drum machines. In a series of intimate, breathy vignettes about love embraced and discarded, highlights include the darkly sensual “Headlock,” the hymnlike “Hide and Seek,” and the rhythm-fueled “Loose Ends,” whose driving synchs are offset by Heap’s moody meditation on a collapsing relationship.
