They sound similar, but one doesnt suck! Got her cd a few days ago, awesome stuff.

She's Dido without the martyr thing.

 

[Mike Works]

Can you recommend any songs similar to Lets Go? I can't stop listening to it.

 

[The Interrobanger]

I've have "Let Go" stuck in my head for weeks.

Damn "Garden State" commercial...

 

[MrAngryFace]

Favorite Songs from her "latest" cd 'Details' are:

Let Go (obviously)
Hear Me Out
Its Good to be In Love
Breathe In
Must Be Dreaming

 

[Minotauro]

I really like "Psychobabble" as well. It's very different but very good.

 

[MrAngryFace]

Its ok, not quite a favorite tho. I think Must be Dreaming is more like Let Go in terms of build up and general sound.

[LinesInTheSand]

I don't really think any of the songs are like Let Go. The others are all quite different.

 

[Manabanana]

Frou Frou is Imogen Heap, a UK pop star, and Guy Sigsworth, who has arranged strings for Bjork, among others. Frou Frou has released some other stuff you won't find in America. Old Piano, the secret track on the UK release of details. And Close Up, something they released for some HMV sample.

Imogen's solo stuff sounds nothing like Frou Frou. You could check it out, but I'm not a big fan. It's not Britney Spears bad, but it's not Frou Frou good. If you like Fiona Apple and Alanis Morisette, you'll probably like her solo stuff.

 

[MrCheez]

I <3 Frou Frou.

To quote my friend on "Must Be Dreaming":

"Man... I wish I could fly. And if I could fly... when I flew... this song would emanate from my body."

 

[Luscious LeftFoot]

Must be Dreaming is pretty catchy.

More recommandations please...

This thread is useless without pics.

BTW, AniHawk, I listened to your two Frou Frou suggestions, and they were good songs.

I didn't respond well at first, but they definitely grew on me, though not over the "Holding Out for a Hero" Shrek 2 song which I'd listened to a whole lot already...

 

[arter_2]

man this movie is doing amazing things for frou frou. when i first saw the garden state trailer like 8 months ago i started listening to her and have been listening to her since. now she has gotten so big she deservse it. her torrent is on suprnova and it averages in the 60's of people downloading it. man to think i had to search for the cd back when i first heard it.

It took me time to get used to Let Go. I really loved Must Be Dreaming (even moreso because of the music vid I saw with it), but I like Let Go as much or maybe more now.

 

[DSN2K]

I like her, but I can listen to Dido all day.

 

[Tsubaki]

Wait... Dido has a similar sound to Frou Frou? Maybe I should check Dido's stuff out...

(And yeah, been in love with Frou Frou's album since hearing it about a year ago mmmm)

 

[Matlock]

Frou Frou is way too musically...I dunno, cluttered? Busy? Just too much going on for the good of the song.

 

[worldrunover]

Dido's so awesome.

 

[Matlock]

Dido's so awesome.

X gets the square!

"Stoned" And "See You When You're 40" are her best songs, too.

 

[norinrad21]

Dido was on the Eminem hype train i think. After hearing "stan" i went out and bought her Cd thinking it was good, worst 18 bucks i ever spent on a CD.....maybe it was my dick that lead me to that CD.......

she was recognized before eminem used her song in "stan", dolt.

well i didn't know her until i saw that "stan" video

 

[nitewulf]

yeah i like frou frou, mellow and catchy stuff. as for dido, i started listening to her ever since they used her song as the theme to "roswell", that mysterious ambiance just caught me. she has a very moody voice. but after that album i havent heard anything else by her.

She released a new album last year. I didn't really care for it too much, especially compared to her first. "Do You have a Little Time" is really good though. Its the only track that really stands out imo.

There's a new artist called "Jem" who's really good. She's had alot of comparisons to Dido. Her (Jem) seems a bit stronger though. http://www.jem-music.net "Come on closer" is awesome.

 

[nitewulf]

yeah i heard some songs by jem and was wondering who she was, she sorta came outta nowhere. she is good.
