AMG Review of Details
Alex Henderson
All Music GuideCritics of electronica often complain that much of it has a cold, impersonal quality -- that warmth and humanity are missing from what can be a very producer-driven medium. But there is no law stating that electronica has to be cold; it all comes down to how the participants decide to use technology. And technology is used in a very human way on Details, a collaboration between producer Guy Sigsworth and singer/songwriter Imogen Heap. Together, Sigsworth and Heap comprise the British duo Frou Frou, which has the sort of name that listeners might expect from one of Europop's more ubblegum acts. Hearing the name Frou Frou, one might expect something along the lines of ABBA, Fun Fun, Jemma & Elise, Bananarama, or Aqua. But there is nothing ubblegum about Details -- quite the contrary. Tracks like "The Dumbing Down of Love" and the single "Breathe In" have an atmospheric, dreamy, ethereal outlook. Björk (who Sigsworth has worked with extensively) is a strong influence, and other valid comparisons range from Kate Bush to Dido. Although Sigsworth's high-tech production is attractive, this 2002 release isn't about production gloss for the sake of production gloss -- it's also about solid songwriting and expressive vocals. Had Sigsworth and Heap been forced to record an acoustic project, Details still would have had a lot going for it. Sigsworth uses technology to his creative advantage, but he doesn't hide behind it -- for Frou Frou, technology is not an attempt to compensate for weak singing or weak material. Ultimately, quality singing and composing are the things that make Details a cut above much of the electronic Europop that came out in 2002.

Track:All of them
Every so often I feel like I'm walking through a desert~ it's so hot, so bland, no water in sight and I'm so thirsty.This is the only way I can describe how I feel when I am so sick of hearing the same old music over and over again. If I'm listening to the radio and Hootie and the Blowfish come on, I literally almost break the buttons on my radio out of frustration and eagerness to get their me...

Happy Fluffy Fairy Princess Land

Artist:

Album:
My hometown has been invaded. Invaded by butterflies. They're literally everywhere. Something about them sends me back to when I was five and thought butterflies were magical creatures and I loved to pretend that I was a fairy princess. It's a nice feeling. To go with this magical feeling, I've stumbled upon the perfect music, Frou Frou's Details. When I first get a CD, I don't pay a whole lot ...

The Memories I Created

Track:
Some songs make me happy because they happen to be good songs and I love to hear them. Some songs evoke emotions because I identify with the lyrics. And some songs bring a rush of almost-forgotten memories along with their opening chords. "Let Go" is one of those songs. I remember seeing Garden State in theatres, tears streaming down my face as my favorite on-screen kiss played out. I remember ...

Track:
I usually never post on these just because of lack of things to say (aka I'm lazy).I've been hooked on Frou Frou's song Let Go. It's just perfection at the moment. Sure, I have no idea what "There's beauty in the breakdown" means, but just the idea of letting go from whatever is stressing you out puts me at ease.Plus Garden State is an awesome movie.
