The Grammy Awards are tomorrow and I can honestly say it has been awhile since I sat down and watched the entire thing. I was talking with Kafo the other day and she mentioned that she wouldn't even waste her time. Come to think of it the only reason I watch any of those shows is to yell at the monitor when my favorite artist wins. And since this year I am only rooting for one artist there is no point wasting all 3 hours glued to the T.V. set when I have boxes still piled up in the living area from our move and homework piling on my desk.
So here I am asking those who will catch the shows help me yell at the T.V. when my girl Imogen wins. In case you are wondering who Imogen is (besides Wikipedia and Google-ing her name) she is the female vocals of the band Frou Frou.
Yes here is that name again.
I am obsessed with Frou Frou. Unfrotunately they only made one album and don't plan to ever reunite to make another one since that album was just that. Every single show samples them from CSI:Miami and NY to movies like Garden State and Closer. I mean Imogen has been writing music for stars like Seal and Madonna for a while and she has put out two C.D.'s prior to this however, she is finally getting recognized as a "New Artist" and she up against Chris Brown who believe you me, I dont' want him to win. I mean Imogen and Chris Brown are like gold and rotten tomatoes. They don't deserve to be in the same category. Chris is a 2006 version of Usher. In five years from now he will re-invent himself to sound just like Usher does now. Been there done that !
Imogen is so Indie with a mix of techno. Yes I said the word Techno. Bite me. Here are some samples of her work:
The title soundtrack to the movie "Garden State" was Frou Frou's "Let Go" here is a sample of it:
Finally, to cap off this music blog I dedicate the song "Hallelujah" to how I feel right now! I mean this girls voice (name is Alison Crowe) has such a crisp Indie sound it is ridiculous. This is the way I am training myself to sound (but with a naija flare) when I play my guitar.
Anyway, I am not as sick as I was yesterday and I got my first photo session pictures back so I am sitting here scanning them, hoping to get our website up and running by this week.
Enjoy your Sunday and call me if Imogen wins, I shall be buried under papers and books finish projects and organizing bookcases.

lady b, ur girl didn't win but she was looking hella crazy. wish i could find a photo... later chica.
I know I heard that she didn't win and I saw some reviews of the grammy's I think I caught a glimpse of her on the red carpet. She always looks crazy!
i mean a google image search yielded some relatively normal looking imogen. i guess she just wanted to make the news e.g. we're still talking about her 2 days later. and the sticky frog on the lily pads? lol. stacy london said this girl is an ecosystem all to her self. rofl. love her.
She is "different". I like her because of her sound. That song that I have posted when she says "What the hell" I just think of Tope and the way she says what the hell!
frou frou has issues
i mean the song sounds like she has issues.
i'm still mulling over the whole Alison song
o my bad i was listening to the imogene song
ISSUES
techno that u can't dance to is wierd
Kafo,
Imogene Heap is different and unique in her style. I like the remix of this song. you can actually dance to it. Imogene is more of an Indie artist than a Techno artist. It was her work with Frou Frou that was more techno because of her co-writer who wrote for Britney Spears Chaotic album
she aight....she should worn the dress in the 1st video to the awards..lol
Tope did you hear the song that sounds like you?
