Imogen Heap Album Coming Out August 25!

I know this is a fitness blog, but in the not too distant past, I was an all but master’s thesis student for music composition. There aren’t too many artists in the pop world that get me excited due to the music exploration a composer must go through to “rid the impure music.” But, Imogen Heap gets me excited. In her new album, Ellipse, Imogen really tries to create something that is fresh and sounds unique rather than trying the rehash the same 3 chord progression every song that most pop music relies on…..boring.

So, if you are looking for the “spice” in your workout music that keeps you guessing, Imogen Heap is a person you should seek out! In fact, listen to the song that put her on the map “Hide and Seek”

For this 2009 release, Heap explores a more dreamy theme to most songs. There is only one song that has any punch to it, Aha! She explores the uniqueness of her electronic language that is distinctly hers mixing it with the Beatles from time to time, minimalism, distortion, and finally coming together with her pure airy vocal abilities. The nice thing is, you can listen to the entire album before it comes out.
