Frou Frou - "Close up"

[Chryseas]

What album is this from? I've checked discographies but can't find it. Perhaps I just overlooked it. Love how it sounds like an engine, so strangely sensual.

[DavidB5501]

@Chryseas It's not on an album. It was a single B-side. It's not currently available, but Guy and Imogen are said to have plans to release some of their 'rare' material.

[KATAO333]

This song is pretty Friggin amazing Industrial Strength, Luv N' Hate!

[PeaceRiddenWorld]

Where does everyone get this song? I can't find it anywhere! >.< An awesome song like this should be more popular!

[supakiwibaby]

<3 amazing song

[SheIsntReal94]

her voice is so unique..i love it

[westwil]

i cant st0:00p pressing reply

[raphaelmaraki]

Is imogen heap the song writer for frou frou,sorry was

[biebersbeautiful]

you do realize a celebrity put this video in a playlist right? lmao

[tarabanken]

whats the difference between Frou Frou songs and Imogen Heap songs?

[cooliodork97]

they dont have this song on itunes :[

[SlamminStam]

Whenever that chopper-sounding bass drops in my awesome headphones, it tickles my ears.

[zyxwME753]

whats that song by frou frou that starts with "flickering" and it goes like lalalalalalalalalaalalalaalala­lala but i dont know the words.... well i know 2 words. i know "flickering" and "scenery" but i have only heard the song like 4 times so i dont know it that well if you know the name it would be great.

[NiniFromParis]

@zyxwME753 "Headlock" ;-) And it's an Imogen Heap, not a Frou frou song.

[Tanisha1994]

@NiniFromParis isn't imogen and frou the same person though?

[NiniFromParis]

@Tanisha1994 No, Frou Frou is a band, Imogen Heap is a solo artist

[Tanisha1994]

@NiniFromParis but the same lead singer?

[NiniFromParis]

@Tanisha1994 Yes

[TwentyTwoDCL]

@NiniFromParis Frou Frou is two people, Imogen and Guy Sigsworth. Sigsworth is so underrated for his genius, but his credentials say otherwise. Both brilliant!

[BananaPancaking]

@zyxwME753 Try "Flicks"... it might be what your looking for. And if not, it's a great Frou Frou song :)

[sorenstudios]

Wow...this is a Frou Frou song?

[ixtli13]

Does anyone know what she is singing in the Japanese bits?

[hlfinally]

I listened to this a dozen times and her japanese isn't very clear. I believe she is saying "anata ga kawaii no" which means "I think you're cute" and then "anata o sonomamade aishitaino" I want to love you the way you are". Of course if she's saying "anata ga kowai no" that means "I'm afrtaid of you".

[olyansincs]

@hlfinally you have such a good sense of humor :)

[Cleptomaniaxx]

wich musikstyle is it???

[crazychick1988uk]

can u tell me the album i want it

[crazychick1988uk]

hey i love this song can u tell me the album so i can get it

[treshes]

@crazychick1988uk Details by Frou Frou :)

[tomboysmurf]

This is pretty badass! I like it!

[StarShatterful]

this song is wonderfull :DD

[FuzzynessOfCheese]

hehe at the beginning sounds like a transformer

[INF3darkgreen]

At around 1:22 the beat and sounds could be something from I Megaphone....even the I Megaphone-style rare tracks like Not you Again and Feeling Strange sound similar....creepy.

*sigh* the days when immi was a rock star reflect....:)

[pavony]

I used to have this song on my old computer about 4 years ago.

then it died, and I forgot the name of this song and it's so hard to find, and it just now popped into my head and im so glad I just found it again!

Thanks for posting it.

I love this one so much.

[japanaisy]

[velvetvixx]

[caaru87]

I love how someone as sweet as Imogen can pull off such a strong song like this.

[iseeu1980]

I think I've posted this three times over the course of one year but I can't help myself: this is a brilliant and exiting song. Love the melody and the heavy riff behind Imogen's voice. I just can't let this song go

[graypaint]

i love the part where she sings in a foreign language.

[FantasyDessi]

what? xD

[Poetatoe]

WHOA was not expecting this

[Winxs3000]

OMG The chorus is like a fighting that needs to happen but she is trying to stop it.......

Like every one else THE INSTRUMENTALS FREAKING ROCK!!!!!

[Zombbg4]

Is it pronounced "froo froo" or "frow frow"??

[EmmiePaigex]

You would pronounce it "Froo froo"

[badbodydouble]

froo froo i'm guessing :)

[pomegranate333]

@Zombbg4 froo froo

[wifed2taylorlautner]

[nxer]

thank you for sharing!

[love6Bforever]

I love this song especially the start :)

[Blured0Influence]

her voice is just utterly amazing in a crazy way! i love her music and adore her beauty. :)

[CrazyAboutDance13]

This is Imogen Heap... Silly goose...

[MusicLover1029]

is it just me or does she sound A LOT like Imogen Heap? Does anyone know why?

[OHstephplease]

lol theyre the same person.

[brokengirl68]

it is her .

[yeheyz]

Frou frou is a group formed by Guy Wordsworth back in 2001.

Imogen Heap is the once singing, doing the vocals on every songs frou frou had.

They split up in 2003 after Imogen Heap decided to venture on her own.

[ASP1S]

Guy Sigsworth

[FantasyDessi]

I think it should be said that Imogen took part in creating the music as well. She didn't just sing whatever Guy gave her.

[INF3darkgreen]

@yeheyz Dude, don't think it was all Guy....she had her own solo work BEFORE Frou Frou, which sounds alot like this song. I'd have to even say that a lot of the sounds in this song sound very Imogen Heap-like. Have you ever heard of I Megaphone? if not, check it out, (I must warn you, it is very different than her latest stuff. darker. ) I swear on my dead body Imogen put together half of the sounds on here.

[suppchilds]

well music lover you're not the brightest are you.. or that great of a music lover if you didn't know they were the same person

[d0ck47]

haha your funny. it is imogen, if you could not tell. i hope your not really serious.

[kali4good]

seriously??

[kenyahp]

Imogen heap is the singer in Frou Frou.

[camelot36]

great sound + Immi= pure bliss

thanks Nini!!

[xMichiMichiyo]

I hate you, I love you, I hate you, I love you..

I know what THAT'S like.

[JayHyphenMichael]

@xMichiMichiyo They have good medication for that.

[LimitedEditioneo]

Why would you disable ratings? I wanna rate it a 5/5 ;-;

This song reminds me of Kate Nash's music a bit.

[LIVE2LUV2LIVE]

FANTABULOUS!!!

ive never heard this song.... its not on the CD...

[0Primavera]

tnx for sharing nini =]

[RitsukaYukiLuvr]

HOLY. CRAP. This is amazing. Wonder why they didn't put it on the CD... Maybe too hard rock-ish? I think it would be perfect before Psychobabble.

[ecdact]

ONE OF MY FAVORITE songs by her. EVER!

[summerhereicome]

damn i really love this song!

[summerhereicome]

I love you, i hate you, i hate you, i love you ^^

Sounds like a good relationsship x) I really love the song!

[freyamia]

i like this side of frou frou!

so cool!

[Veronicaloveroyeah]

LOVE this song.

trying to find out what she means by the lyrics..

[monkeymonkeymoomiss]

Love it - I want it!

[Sadinside09]

[silvaesarah2]

[irulegirl]

I LOVE THIS SONG

[paintedbird]

Where can I get this song? I love it.

[Slizz]

She's just so Amazing.

She leaves me in awe every time I listen to her lovely voice, especially with the emotions she displays in every one of her songs. ~<33

[Angeleyez1204]

i can't find this on itunes! =/ please helpp

[DaKrazedKyubizt]

there's only one frou frou album on itunes unfortunately...

[bookcreator]

I know and thy're not coming out with another one. On the bright side Imogen Heap is making her own individual music and that's really good.

[Almalnum1]

What was that language towards the end?

[askayscha]

japanese.

[ecdact]

ONE of my favorite songs by her.

[PucksGirlfriend]

This is one of the best Frou Frou songs ever, and that's saying something.

[juliannarox]

this song puts me into a deep trance! i absolutely adore Frou Frou! especially the fact that Imogen Heap is in Frou Frou with Guy! Imogen Heap is an absolute legend.

[GlittersAllWet]

I really like this! thanks 4 putting it up. Gotta love the anger and distorted beats :D

[AsticusLamia]

Took an instant liking. It's amazing.

[glossygirl101]

I think Imogen looks better in Frou Frou then she does when she's actually just herself :)

[Bloodwillow]

LOVE this song, thanks for uploading!

[jbcada]

Ok I am a huge fan of Immi and Froufrou but I'll save spare everyone the same old words of praise.

Props for uploading stereo sound. Hardly anyone does that anymore. Great job!

[dmgdmg1234]

does anyone know a site where you can download this song online for free???

[Russell230870]

Frou Frou was Imogean Heap and Guy Sigsworth. Sigsworth is a respected producer/songwriter and has worked with Madonn and Seal amongst others

[XXbelovedXroseXX]

are frou frou and imogen heap the same person???

[iEatSkittlez]

Frou Frou was a group, Imogen Heap is the singer. They broke up, so technically, they are the same person because Imogen Heap did most of the work when she was part of 'Frou Frou.'

[iRMagicDinosaur]

Yush.

But Imogen Heap is just her, solo.

Frou Frou has a keyboardist.

:]

[tricky500]

yessum.

[FluffyPurpleKitty]

Wow. Okay, okay. I'm a huge fan of Immi's, and I listen to Speak For Yourself all the time. But you've convinced me that I need to get Details too by uploading this.

THANK YOU!! X3

[ClydeNut]

The rest of Details is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay different than Close Up, just to warn you. It's a brilliant, brilliant album though, but I can definitely see why this wasn't included in the final tracklist. It would seem really out of placed.

[moodyjenny86]

love this song!

[iseeu1980]

This song is just fucking magical!

[QueenErrr]

i never noticed the girl in the background of the cover of Details.

weird...

anyway... awesome song :D

[NiniFromParis]

It's not a girl it's Guy Sigsworth

[Deeadmusic]

i personaly dont prefer the singing or anything at all in this song accept the start because its totaly badass

[lewismoar]

same here. but i like the chorus as well as the begining

[M4r7in4m]

i am addicted to this song.

i love you i hate you i love you... <3

[freyaLuu]

I love this song x3

[rkartist634]

She/they are a talent!

[TheSuperMissrock]

Fucking Awesome!

[lilbigman777]

dude I`ve been look for the name of this song for the LONGEST thanks.

[JeniferSheppard]

I don't get it. Did she release some albums as frou frou as some as Imogen Heap?? And also what's her real name? Imogen?

[cbei02]

Frou Frou was a band made up of Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth. They made one album, Details, before breaking up. Imogen Heap released several solo albums afterward.

Hope I helped! ^_^

[Mynameismeganx4]

why did they break up?

[ajre82]

something about not getting recognition for her contributions...and to be honest, i don't blame her, her voice is overpowering.

[Niki1squarepants]

Ajre82, thats not true. Imogen has spoke in many interviews. She met Guy after he listened to her music and they decided it would be fun to make an album, singular. When they where done after the year, She went back to writing on her own, and he went back writing for other people.

[INF3darkgreen]

@JeniferSheppard Currently as I write this it is 2010 and so far Imogen Heap has released 3 complete (notice I say complete) solo albums, and one Frou Frou album. and yes, her realy name is Imogen Heap. I heard that her middle names are Jenifer Jane too (I'm not sure if its true or not). So she would be Imogen Jenifer Jane Heap.

[blindanniversary]

YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR MINDDDD.

i love this song.

[shakugan73]

...okay dat sounds kind weird...

[fastal0077963]

This women gives me so much pleasure !!

[killer101112]

wow sorry but I had an immature moment when you siad pleasure and women and gives me and so I had to say it butr just get on with your lives people... sorry lol

[Jaeqo]

you better not be over 16

[yuuichi7]

was she speaking japanese a little?!

[tcraft88]

....what?!

[blake503]

Nooo it's all English lol

[o0Ezri0o]

I dont think that this is FrouFrou rather than Imogen Heap, though it could have also been written by Sigsworth. It's a shame that FrouFrou ended so sadly...but hey, at least we have Imogen ;)

[minnela]

Hey please tell me how it ended cause ive been trying to figure out since i first heard them

[pavony]

They ended because Imogen didn't get the credit she deserved for Frou Frou - Details.

Most people just thought that she only sang, while Guy composed all the music. Which is totally false.

She did an equal share of creating and composing all of the music, but no one recognized her for it. Not enough atleast to influence her to work with Guy on a second Frou Frou album.

But it is sad because Details is my top favorite album of hers.

[fastal0077963]

Frou Frou and Ms Heap really do deserve more airplay and recognition (is that spelt right ?) !!!!

[fastal0077963]

What a cracking song from one of the best artists around for years !!! Imogen Heap !!! Brilliant !

[blindanniversary]

thank you x ten.

[pmo3154]

How isn't this band and/or song more popular? This is truly cool!

[jruona]

Very cool- thanks for sharing!

[heartcoregurl8]

I've never heard of this song before, but it's amazing (:

Thanks for posting this! I love Frou Frou <3

[xXSerenity123Xx]

[bluexmoonxmusic]

[AnotherHistoryBoy]

thank you so much for sharing!!

[catyfriend]

Ahh I can't believe that this song isn't more well known! It's absolutely great!

[chocludordust]

this couldve been the song that would've made them mainstream i feel....you can use this song for anything. commercial...soundtrack to zombie flick. but its good that didnt release this otherwise theyd have lost their novelty factor.

me 2 cents

[iseeu1980]

A hidden gem! So exiting. Love it

[suite628]

One of my favorite songs for a long time, not too well known since it was just put out as a b-side on one of their singles. Aaaah how I wish Frou Frou would get back together and put another album out.

[iseeu1980]

How the hell could this be a b-side? :) It's incredible. I got goosebumps on my arms the first time I heard it. 20-somethings times after I still do. Absolutely brilliant. Love this womans music already, but who were the other members of Frou Frou?

[chocludordust]

guy sigworth. there was only one other member. it was a duo

[heartmedaily]

LOVE THIS SONG! not many ppl know about it, which makes it even better.

no more questions, no worries, its destination unknown.

[lg135]

People keep saying that - I honestly didn't know it was so rare, I found it so easy ^^; I thought 'Meantime' was much rarer!

[MaxOne93]

This song is my favourite!! ^^

[xoCandiiexo]
