Imogen Heap Ellipse mp3 download

Imogen Heap finally returns with her third solo album, Ellipse. Ms. Heap certainly does not disappoint! This album is truly extraordinary. Upon listening, you can hear how meticulously this album was crafted. Not one song sounds rushed. Layers upon layers of electro-soundscapes pop and swirl around Heap’s wonderful vocals. The lyrics are insightful and quirky, as only she can write.

What’s most pleasant to me is that this album doesn’t try to be like any of her previous releases. It takes its own risk, and thus has its own identity within Imogen Heap’s catalog.

"First Train Home" starts the album and also serves as the first single. This song is the closest you’ll get to the material she’s released before. After that, the tracks get more experimental. Gone are the familiar hooks that were heard throughout her last album, Speak For Yourself, and this isn’t a bad thing. The instrumentation here is wonderous (hence why she decided to include a separate disc of instrumental versions of all the songs)!

My picks for standout tracks include: "Earth", "Little Bird", "Bad Body Double", "Canvas" and "Half Life".

I simply cannot wait to see how the songs on Ellipse will be interpreted live on stage! There simply isn’t another album out there like this. Another triumph for Imogen Heap!
