Imogen Heap: vBlog #14

[graypaint]

2:44 :D

[THEClevercatchphrase]

You should get a hold of them. I don't know if you're still looking for string performers but I think they would pair well with your voice. Time for Three cover Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek"

[oshimad]

i concur! i like the original ver. of not now but soon

[GeorgeBrooks09]

I want all the original versions of the Ellipse tracks!!!! They all sound so different in the primary form!

[fishersann2k7]

the song is called not now but soon good tune ;)

[JonnyCrash]

The tea cozy reminds me of the movie Snatch. Haha.

[INF3darkgreen]

I don't get the ending would someone explain it to me? Why is it scary? What are they doing? Whats with the oranges?

[bwyfan19]

@INF3darkgreen They're supposed to be zombies. The oranges are just random.

[collarenvy]

i'd drag them thru

comets

of

saucers

myself

thanks

[avidhpfan]

I quite like the tea cozy!

[iicrowned]

There's some crazy, weird(in a good way), thing about you that i absolutely love! You have this unique touch with your looks and your personality that drags me in. :]

[ballerunka]

I think the part of Now not but soon is better than the album, It fits the song great when it sounds "empty roomed" and not so many effects on it.

[milestone913]

1:48! xD lol "nuhhhhh! D: " that was funny immi.

[LMPPrincess]

i love the end it's so random it makes me giggle and not now but soon is the one i always hav on repeat.

[CarylCake]

Your Japanese is cute, lol. Not Now But Soon is one of my favourite songs.

[Adagio1991]

That end bit was hilarious! haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Immi, you're such a LEGEND!!! =D

[UltimateNelly]

love your hat! =D love your vlogs xoxo

[XshattereddreeamsX]

lmao at the end, is that your mom doing that with you? Your mom is awesome if it is :D

[clubheadxtasy2]

lmao what the fuck was that shit at the end?

loved speak for yourself btw

[3Deity]

I think thats one of the scariest things I have ever seen!

[flckfsglls888]

Why did the ending gave me nightmares? :/

[VidyaSangeet]

marrie me xD

love you and your work

ty

[shrineheart87]

damn my driving test is next week i hope i pass.

[kornkid22]

[gijamia]

Imogen heap you rock

i love her!!! <3

[HoshiHooked]

*Awh! wow Imi, I am so excited for your new album! I feel so enlightened. You are so inspiring and I feel so empowered and fulfilled watching and listening to you. You have such an amazing presence and I want to thank you for being brave enough to be yourself. *

*You have the power to influence the masses*

*Hoshi*

[charlottepoet]

i love hearing about your creative process :)

[XshattereddreeamsX]

lmao @ the ending.

You really have a lot of time on your hands don't you.

[voltatour]

NO, SHE DOES'T..

[Kitty8elle]

hahahha terrible japanese,

but you are truly amazing imi,

so all is forgiven ;)

[cliffrbell]

Immi Immi Cocoa Bop.

[gaaraslonglostsister]

hehe, good try at the japanese!

[HoshiBubbleTea]

That made me lol!... lol

[davidbrun]

So in love with her....

[LaChelleHood]

holy crap the ending is gonna give me nightmares ... cool vlog though

[nateh45]

I bet the three words are "big, bang, boom."

[Dance2105]

ohh... the strange but amazing mind of Imogen Heap... o_O

lol ! :p

[Squigglysquid]

Ha ha! What WAS that round about... oh, 9:27? Hee... Now I know what everyone else was talking about... laughing my face off. XD (And seriously, what was that? Original creation or spoof of some movie or show I know nothing of?)

Oh, and the Oxford Morris maybe wouldn't be my first choice of cars... but pray tell which of the many versions would you get anyway? I'd like to sound smart but only know what an Oxford Morris is thanks to Wikipedia. =)

Anyway, thanks for a fun blog!

[MotherMistress]

The end was a tad bit unusual... But the rest was absolutely spectacular.

[freeslave77]

Except yes.. the end is a bit frightening.

[freeslave77]

Love it.

[bartonfinkinNY]

sweet

[kateash23]

i llike the song lol

[lrsmith]

I want to party with this amazing and silly girl

[BritishHeroGuy]

I have just found your blogs! I'm so happy that they are there! Yay for Imogen :)

Muchos Love!

[RainbowStar2423]

Haha, shes awesome.

[cantstopmenowdamnu]

I love her blogs, she's so funny

[capricorn7086]

as far as the lyrics goes, the ones you said they weren't exactly the lyrics they should be because they sound good.

[capricorn7086]

ok the end was kind of scary

[PerfectionistGoneBad]

loved the end bit....haha :D

[tomzito]

lololololololololololololololo­lololololol

lololololololololololololololo­lolololllol

[katerstaat]

I love you! And I love your LSD computer keyboard!

[KyoCross]

Love Zombies, Love Immi, not quite....sure what was going on at the last part of the blog though. O_o

[wiganlad56]

what a talent... what a woman

[oddichmcodd]

Your music SAVES!! me from bad hangover days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D So thank u very much 4 that! lol

[MOd3rAt0r]

zom... you look awesome in this one...

[ConcertGoGoer]

Gatta love teasers. now I have to look out for that Heroes episode, yet considering that tis January 7th I should assume that I have either missed it ( sad face) or it is soon to come (happy face). Thanks again for the post Immi, it makes me love ya all the more. ^_^

[animefansara]

I LOVED UR MUSIC!

[whitetoofed]

You crazy but a freaking genius xxxxxxxxxxxx

[animefansara]

love japanese xD

[BoYofWiNd22]

Stunning Song Imogen and just again wanted to say thanx for being different and creating and sharing REAL music with the world. Love you and your music and cannot wait for your album!!!

[nicksaya]

I love the song i would love to do a remix

[graypaint]

(i've been playing the piano for 7 years but after hearing your album, it feels like ive gained a refresh energy to work with the piano as my career.) i know youre not going to bother reading this but i hope that you did!

[graypaint]

ahhh one more thing i'd like to say to imogen! soo i know you don't like these kinds of drop-dead fans but really i've always thought that was stupid myself! but now i can understand how they feel, really, imogen, you truly are an inspiration, you have no idea, it has changed my life and created a new major that i want to work in someday! two more years and i graduate, on to college!

[BoYofWiNd22]

I totally agree with your statement!!, While I do admit to being obsessed w/ Imogen's music, I consider myself normal hehe. I can't help it, her voice puts me in another world and she is just... DIFFERENT ^_^

[graypaint]

YES! I know! EXACTLY!! It's wierd but I also find it that way for me! I find my obsesion normal and I just like how she is very different from any other, her music is not the same-old and it always has some kind of unique style!

[graypaint]

(By the way, I noticed that this video got 100+ comments while her other older ones are only 30+ hm.... someone gained more publicity ever since Heroes eh? Interesting.. I mean not that it's a bad thing, but I want to keep Imogen all for meself and other devoted fans.. hehe.

[graypaint]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! I can't contain my EXCITEMENT for this song that Imogen created just for Heroes!!!! AND HEROES IS THEE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! Never was there a time when I would be THIS obsessed with TV that is until I came across HEROES, and now with Imogen Heap (MYFAVORITEARTISTOFALLTIME) accompanying it?! !!!!!!! THAT JUST SATISFIES MY CHRISTMAS OF 2007!!! THANK YOU IMOGEN! The song sounds GREAT!!!!

[ericatsatlanta]

what the hell was going on at the end.. were you guys imulating birds hahaha so cute haha.. but hissing.. scary :)

[iwantsomecandy]

the new song is AMAZING. my favorite right now is glittering clouds, but who knows? maybe not now but soon will take its place...

[Freckled0ne]

huh-mazing.

I live off my Imogen fixes some days.

[bengrimm321]

fffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

i wanna hear that whole song!

ive never been so teased in my life!

[n3rdski]

Really nice to see you making music in the new studio. I can't wait to see what you got for us next :)

[DHMIII]

I think your great!! You make some dope beats =] I could even flow an intelligent 16 bars to. Love your music.

[knop3se]

The teaser sounded really awesome! I'm SO excited! Love the pitch-bended bass! woooo

Immi, you´re f*cking GREAT!

[ShadowKatChan]

What do you think of the Boys Like Girls cover of Let Go? I think it's awesome, and it'd be so amazing if you guys could maybe perform together sometime!!

[longandponderous]

the ending = a wtf/lol/XD ! :)

oh,, and i as thinking about your hair, i love its freedom,, you wear hair whatever the way hair says is going be that day,,,

[Hex72]

You posted this on my 16th birthday. Yay. :D

I'm just discovering your music, really nice stuff. Keep it up! <3

[Micaiah]

Oh I forgot, happy belated birthday and excellent Nihongo!

[Micaiah]

Imogen, miss ahhh!! I didn't know you had a blog/vlog grr why didn't you tell me!!

It's so awesome to see you working on a new album let alone keeping us company and all those wonderful things. You are the best dear keep looking gorgeous and writing beautiful earth shaking music. I---Can't---wait for your next!

P.S. The ending hahaha what was that?! At least you have fun--Adorable ^_^

[tanbrolo]

You're fantastic. So talented, such a star, yet so down to earth. You'd be a lot of fun to hang out with!

[edejong]

LOVE the new song, can't wait to hear it in full brilliantness!

[thatmark]

Hi Imogen,

It's been delightful to watch your vbogs each week and to see your new studio come together. Like all your fans, I can't wait to hear the wonderful music I know will flow from your new space. I think you are going to love working with Logic...I've been recording with it since 1994, and have never been able to adjust to anything else.

Keep up the wonderful work... not to put any pressure on you...but we are all waiting for our next Imogen Heap "fix."

All the best,

Mark

[LizaLaChatte]

I LOVE YOU!

[SociallyVolatile]

I think its so cool how you previewed a song for us. That just shows what kind of artist you are. It's not just some product that you're making, packaging, and distributing to the masses. But you show us it's very personal to you and you have control over it. You are an artist. Keep it up.

[DeadLemmon]

i love her accent

[ModernitySlays]

i wanna hear that SONGGGGGG!!!

[ikatie]

Happy birthday, Immi :)

"Not now but soon" sounds absolutely marvellous

Kocham cie -you should know what it means (Frou Frou/Details booklet :):):))

[munchies289]

x) Imogen Heap! (sorry, random new fan!) :) Your music is so amazing, as I'm sure you have heard everyone say! x__x I had no idea you had a blog. :] This is all so cool! ^_^;; ahh I love you. Good luck with your song! You'll find the perfect three words! T_T (and might I say that the hat does in fact look fabulous on you) =]

[hayesg01]

Thats one of your little ditties BTW! G

[hayesg01]

Hi Immi,

Just found your YouTube channel - cool. Will have a go at a cute Second Life machinima (similar to the ones on my channel) and the one I just responded to your vBlog, over XMas - interested in which song might be best ;-) Lv Gary x

[MCKornbred]

LOVE LOVE LOVE THE NEW SONG! Glad to see that things are progressing so nicely....and so quickly it seems as far as the house is concerned. Can't wait for that album!

[badlipsynch]

New song sounds awesome! I can't wait to hear it all.

[apritche]

HAPPY 30TH BIRTHDAY, IMMI!!!!!

[Navitad]

Sigh...

<3

[Imogence]

I just died and went to heaven <3

[gracefulassassin]

[simfoniaco]

[whitetorres]

happy birthday immi!! My birthday is this sunday too...i love your new blog, and i can't wait to hear the new song...i'm in love already!!

[seximaddahumpa]

I want your beanie!!!

[TormentedByDemons]

You should make all your decisions in the shower, you have the cutest indecisiveness around, and the Morris Oxford is the PERFECT car for you. Even better than an Immebago.

And - the mental image of you dancing around your studio at 4am is a rather joyish one. Next time record it! :)

[jb1552]

Man! I've watched this vblog about 4 times now on different days because I just can't seem to get this sample out of my head. I love it!

[Jake2q]

same here lol but i went one step forward and made a loop cant get enough of it lol

[jb1552]

How do you do that? (I'm so illiterate when it comes to that kind of stuff) But just if you could give general information, then maybe I can research the rest. :-)

[Jake2q]

downloaded the you tube video with Vdownloader to my computer and load vido in to windows movie maker if you on windows or imovie if yo are on OSX then just crop out the video leaving sample only save the video than if you want you can convert video into mp3 :)

[jb1552]

Oh wow! That was E-Z. Thanks

[Jake2q]

np :)

[dboles27]

immi - all of your albums are quite distinct, and it seems like this next one will be too! you say all of the songs are very different - i'm itching to hear what they will all sound like together. happy studio time!

[sugarplumjvl]

Immi! I love your ruff version of Not Now, But Soon! I already know that it's going to give me chills! You're brilliant, and I can't wait for the album to come out! :) Here's wishing you a free-flow of creative ideas and never-ending inspiration! :)

[oceanbreathessalty]

I like the new song! Its so different. I am super pumped for your new CD!

[CHINGYCHONGY]

Can i fastforward to the future please? I WANNA get that CD SO BADDDDDLLLLY!!!!!!! u don't understand, that little sneak peek is such a friggin tease!

[Jake2q]

omg that song is my fav even though i heard it like for 5 seconds lol cant wait for the new album!

[sleepingsatellite]

OMG! thats a great song!!!!! I cant wait for your new album immi!

[shutupfreak]

you're simply the most amazing and talented singer in the whole UNIVERSE :) plus infinity

[justgottoletitgo]

I like some of your song, i really dont like the sound though. It just needs a wee bti of tweeking. I think that i would get used to ti if i listened to it a lot, i just wish that it was more like frou frou/speak for your self. But it is super and i think that your gogn in the right track.

[ChuckNewberry]

OMG! Ur new song sounds amazing! I am so happy you stuck with the sound of Speak For Yourself. It sound completely new and original, but you catch my drift. I hope. I listen to you cd's over and over again cause I am preparing for your new stuff. When are you thinking of the release? Next year? sooner? Great music takes time and it sounds beautiful so far.

[ownedbydemi]

oooohh your driving test was today! *LUCK!* :)

also, the song sounds amazing.

alsoalso, I saw you live in southampton and you're awesome.<3

[nargus87]

You're fabulous, and I'm so excited for new music from you!

[sweetzi]

You are V. inspirational to me!!!

New music sound way FAB!!!

can't wait to for a new album!

<33audie

[sammerbammer]

sounds soo good can't wait.

[apritche]

GOOD LUCK on the driving test tomorrow!

remember to stop completely at all stop signs, DON'T turn the radio on, look out for pedestrians and cyclists, and don't flip anyone off (at least not while the instructor's in the car with you). you'll do great!

[jb1552]

So when will the episode of "Heroes" air so I can tune in to here this wonderful piece of art?

[tennis18eire]

LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sozo33]

so immi, we may need to talk about some of your dance moves...

[differentreasons]

haha thanks!! sounds good and the end cracked me up!

[mattmackay22]

You are absolutely amazing Immi! :D

[logyscott]

Immi, I can't quite figure out what is going on at the end!

[CJavorina]

Immi -

I don't know if you're planning on adding a bunch of other sounds to this "base line", but perhaps consider leaving it slightly bare of other effects. Perhaps more of another "hide and seek sound" than a... "headlock" sound. Because what you've got is really quite exquisite. Not trying to tell you what to do, just... suggesting. :)

[CJavorina]

those two examples might even be the extremes... perhaps like "the moment I said it" vs. "goodnight and go" .... ?

[brayshizzle]

fuck me, that bass line is seeeeeeexy!!!!!!!!!!!!! Got that trent reznor at his sexiest feel. love it girl

[funbunch]

.....man wtf

imogen

why are you so good

[CJavorina]

Wow. There are no words for how excited I am for this song to come out.

(but clearly I've managed to find some...)

I'm not even just saying this, Immi it sounds positively divine!!!

I'm in love ... cannot wait

praying I'll be able to purchase it through iTunes or whatnot

consider this me, once again, attempting to express my undying love

xx

[Aiyana25]

The very last part with the crazy crows of you and your (mom/friend...not sure who) is really pretty funny and I laughed out loud as I watched it. Keep writing beuatiful music as you do!

~Aiyana : )

[frankolantern]

omfg the ending made me fall out of my chair.

that was the strangest yet most hilarious thing!

[frankolantern]

I can't wait.

[sweetcharade518]

Omg I love that song, I'd so buy it.

[emelieut]

Even if the new version is different I am sure that one is just as awesome as the sample you gave us!

Good luck with making the new song complete, I can't wait to hear the final version, and watch the episode with the song!

Your work is great!

Emelie x

[lg135]

lol @ the end! totemo okashii nee!! You'll get back on point sooner or later methinks :3 But I loved the teasers - hope it doesn't sound too much different

[lg135]

Oh yeah, you probably have no control over this, but none of your live work is available at the zune marketplace :( And its terrible because I don't think the zune plays music from itunes either T_T woe is on this zuner..

[jwilsont]

wow, sounds great!!! thaks for the sample

keep videoblogin please ;)

jorge

[bluebunnyvd]

You are sounding as lovely and celestial as ever....and it appears that sleep deprivation definitely does create some "interesting" form of energy, lol.

[Aloiv]

....that is way too ironic. My driving test is on the 5th as well! xDDD

[inertia720]

Oooh! Good luck, Aloiv. And best wishes to all of the iBabblers from helplesslySkyHigh.

[goldhillproductions]

Sounding meganice :) Love the 'if we can just get through...this one...' bit! Very Immi, which is what we like! x

[shannonthomas]

Okay, so the ending kind of freaked me out (lol), but the song sounds LOVELY! Can't wait to hear the rest. Yay!

[JonDaniels]

Very very cool...It's nice to see how you work with music...

[KleptHoeManiac]

Don't tease me like that!

I'm loving it!!!

[poopgear]

I think I have figured it out, it's like some sort of tripped out video game premise involving shooting grapefruit at strange slowly moving bird people. You guys never cease to amaze.

[meestahp]

It's a take on 2001 a space odyssey. Remember she was saying something about the monolithic pallet with the monitors in it. You're a crazy woman Imogen, I personally love it.

[poopgear]

That last bit...yes...one of the stranger video clips that I have ever witnessed in my entire life? Yet somehow awkwardly hilarious?

[wireframe01]

Love the new song!!! Great work I know you'll get it done in time and I hope you let us know when the episode airs.

BTW I saw you a year ago here in L.A. at the Wiltern, oh I was so happy for days!!

Hope everything works out for you!

-SEAN-

[Aiyana25]

That's crazy that you just added this 10 hours ago. I live inf Florida and am a fan and I founf this and said wow, that's what Imogen does with her time. How super productive and inspiring. Thanks!

[travelhymm]

your japanese sounds awesome ^_^.

and the song sounds awesome.

my parents watch heroes so i should tell them ym favorite musician is doing a song for them.

[xxparanoiamaxxx]

haha I'm going to listen to those few seconds of your new song over and over again until it's fully done XD

love it love it! and love you ;D

[GollumVII]

the song sounds awesome!!!

[actingup2]

Immi, you are sooo full of energy. I get hyper just watching you=) I really enjoy your blogs, you're so natural in front of the camera, as if we were old friends. I can't wait to hear the new song. Thanks for sharing...Cheers, Ray.

[Riva1986]

Another superb vlog Immi, could listen to you for hours ;)

Song sounds excellent btw, gave me shivers (and I only heard 20 seconds of it!)

Best of luck with the driving lesson, have a great week

A xxx

[sunmarsh]

Immi! What a pleasant surprise! I found this video after viewing vBlog13, I didn't think 14 was out yet, but here we are!

The teaser, swoonworthy, you need not doubt yourself. This just gets me overexcited over the new album! (Which is in the works, right, RIGHT? Of course it is.)

If anything, it's convinced me to buy the Heroes album.

So, anyways, to conclude- good luck on that driving test! Don't run over too many pedestrians, we all know that'll mark you down.

Cheers from Nick & Tom.

[apritche]

good luck on the driving exam! maybe once you're legal you can take a drive to check the post office box for birthday presents, or something. glad you're feeling better, and the new song sounds amazing :).

xoxo,

lovehound

[Booshibonton]

wow.......... the song is amazing! xD

what was that at the ending lol?

anyway, awesomeness ;D

[nikosia]

these could be the best

ohhh

days

alive

theres your three words

[imogenheap]

Standing by the best

days of our lives

each chorus now changes it's front 4 syllables..

"standing by"

"Big bang boom"

"terrifying"

"better be the"

that kind of thing...

[nikosia]

ahhh... i thought you meant you wanted the "days of our lives" things to change... cuz i thought it sounded a bit like a commercial for the soap opera "day of our lives" idk if you get that one across the pond.

[graypaint]

oh my goodness!!! lucky you imogen heap gave you a taste of a new chorus PERSONALLY! oh wow i am filled with excitement and the levity is just raising to the roof!! you lucky lad!

[UnderThisWeather]

Thank you SO much for the teaser. This album is going to be amazing; I just know it. SO EXCITED!! ^_^

[dddaz]

The song sounds awesome!

[damilstephens]

mmm sounds really nice

[blue2draconian]

Oh, oh wow! That teaser was beyond awesome!

Another brilliant v-blog! :D

[MagneticLeap]

oh dear, that last little bit was so hilarious I nearly fell over backwards, which is a difficult thing for me to do. And your Japanese is beautiful.

[SINNC11135]

getting busy with the gear! You Go Darling! way to conquer your problems and dive into the song.  Dont forget what Rufus (wainwright) Says "I always call my lawyer to make sure that if I write something it will still be mine before recording"...or something to that effect.

[thesamwinnshow]

i thought these were recent, like what she's done last week :|

but she mentioned her driving test (5th dec) being 20 days away...

[imogenheap]

we are a little behind... :)

x

[Booshibonton]

hi ^_^

zomg i talked to imogen heap lol

the teezer was amazing *collapses*

[thesamwinnshow]

Reply, wow. Lucky me ;]

[FFMoogle]

Tea cosies are officially in. Imogen Heap decrees it. Get one now!

[Grobaholic]

Imogen! The songs going to rock! And I adore your computer! Thanks for the preview and thanks for always updating us on your goings on! <3

[alexm141]

Yes! your hat is nice.

So is your hair.

And the song sounds great!

I can't wait to hear the whole thing.
