With Speak for Yourself, Imogen Heap
proves that she's a lot more than just some woman with a cool Dickensian
name whom you might have heard on the soundtrack to Garden State or
between teen traumas on The O.C. This former Frou Frou frontwoman
turns out to be a significant talent in her own right. In Frou Frou, Bjork
and Madonna producer Guy Sigsworth seemed to be the ones calling most of the
shots; Speak for Yourself is ballsier, and it shows vividly that Heap
is not just a compelling vocalist from the Kate Bush school for the
intensely intriguing. She's a charismatic singer willing to dig deep and
even give us a little electro-yodel when need be. "Hide and Seek" -- which
made a splash on The O.C. -- is lovely and textured, "Headlock" is
rhythmic and darkly sensual and "The Moment I Said It" shows Heap doesn't
need electronics to turn us on. If Eminem liked Dido, he should check out
Speak for Yourself right now.

When i first listened to a song from this album called "i'm in love with you" i was amazed by it's freshness, originality and rhythmic versatility. I rushed to listen to more songs and then i was really delighted to hear songs like "the moment i said it" and "have you got it in you". This singer really has a very promising future and i will expect her new sounds as soon as possible.
