sound, and immediately bought a Roland
sampler and an Atari
computer. He met Seal
, co-writing four songs on Seal's debut album: "Crazy
", "The Beginning", "Wild" and "Violet", plus the B-side, "Sparkle". The album's producer, Trevor Horn
, was the first pop record producer Sigsworth had ever met.
was also involved in work on Seal's song "Crazy
", and Sigsworth soon became part of the regular production team of Simenon's band, Bomb The Bass
, co-writing the UK No. 7 hit single "Winter In July". He also worked with Simenon on Hector Zazou's
1992 album Sahara Blue, performing alongside the celebrated French actor Gérard Depardieu
on the track, "I'll Strangle You". Sigsworth subsequently contributed to Zazou's 1994 album Songs From The Cold Seas
accompanying Björk.
, Sigsworth met the virtuoso tabla player Talvin Singh
. He subsequently played synthesizer and harpsichord for Singh's live shows, and later played and contributed remixes on Singh's debut album, OK
.
, becoming keyboard player, and later music director, of her live band for two albums. Sigsworth brought his early music sensibility to Bjork's live performances and recordings, adding harpsichord
, clavichord
, regal
and positive organ
accompaniments to her music. Sigsworth's harpsichord can be heard on the song "Cover Me" from Post; clavichord on the song "All Is Full Of Love"; and organ on the song "Unravel
" from Homogenic
. "Unravel" was Sigsworth's first co-written song with Björk. It is, reportedly, Thom Yorke's
favourite song. Sigsworth also played celesta
on Björk's cover of Joni Mitchell's
"The Boho Dance"; the celesta later became a feature on both Dancer In The Dark
(where he also contributed a string arrangement) and Vespertine
(where he co-wrote "Hidden Place
", "An Echo, A Stain", "Sun In My Mouth" and "Harm Of Will".
in 1996 after a friend played him a demo of her song "Come Here Boy". He immediately fell in love with her distinctive voice. He was also amazed to hear that she shared his idiosyncratic love of melodies featuring wide, angular intervals - especially major 7ths and minor 9ths - which are not so common in pop. They wrote two songs together, "Getting Scared" and "Airplane", which Sigsworth produced for her debut album, I Megaphone
. In return, Heap sang backing vocals on Sigsworth's band project with Alexander Nilere, Acacia

album Empathy, which attracted the attention of Madonna. This in turn led to him co-writing the song "What It Feels Like For A Girl
" with Madonna
, for her 2000 album Music
. Sigsworth also wrote the song "Nothing Fails
" with Jem for Madonna's 2003 album American Life
.
, India
, where he was producing a song for UK Asian artist Amar
, Sigsworth composed a tune on his Yamaha QY20 pocket sequencer. As soon as he arrived back in London, he took it to Imogen Heap, and asked her to write a top line for it. It became "Flicks", their first song for what would become the Frou Frou album Details
. Originally there was no plan for Sigsworth and Heap to form a "proper" band. It was simply a matter of Sigsworth wanting to hear various song ideas properly realized. As Heap says: "Every month or so Guy would phone me up and say 'I've got a new song, would you come in and sing it?' and then before we knew it we'd already started the album."
As a linking concept for the emerging set of songs, Sigsworth suggested two ideas for the lyrics:
Sigsworth wrote the lyrics to the songs "Breathe In", "Only Got One" and "The Dumbing Down Of Love", and co-wrote the lyrics to "Let Go", "It's Good To Be In Love", and "Psychobabble" on Details. Heap wrote the remaining lyrics, apart from "Maddening Shroud", which has lyrics by Alexander Nilere.
After eleven songs had been completed, Heap and Sigsworth set about finding a name for their collaborative effort. Sigsworth, a fan of all things French, came up with "Frou Frou", which Heap loved. The name comes from Rimbaud's 1870 poem "Ma Bohème", and is a French onomatopoeic word originally meaning the swishing noise made by skirts on dancing women. The album title, "Details", was a reference to the way the songs were constructed in the studio, by layering momentary details of sounds and performances to create a web of sound.
The album was released in 2002
on Universal Records
. It was critically acclaimed, but did not achieve mass sales. "Breathe In" was released as the first single internationally, and reached number two on the Italian radio airplay charts, but follow up singles, "Must Be Dreaming" and "It's Good To Be In Love" were never commercially released in the UK. A video was also made for "The Dumbing Down of Love", directed by Joel Peissig
(who later directed Heap's
solo video, "Hide and Seek
"). After touring the record extensively across the United States, where the duo had established a cult fan base, Frou Frou disbanded in 2003.
Heap and Sigsworth temporarily reformed Frou Frou to record a cover version of "Holding out for a Hero
", originally recorded by Bonnie Tyler
, for the Shrek 2
soundtrack. The duo were approached by the music director of the film, who had been a fan of their album. The resulting track is played during the end credits of the film. Frou Frou also experienced a resurgence in popularity in 2004, when Scrubs star, Zach Braff
chose album track "Let Go" for his independent film, Garden State
. Other Frou Frou tracks have been included on television shows, such as CSI
and Roswell High
.
Despite disbanding only after one album (Heap and Sigsworth remain firm friends and meet regularly to catch up on things, but are currently focused on separate musical projects), Frou Frou's musical influence has remained widespread and both Heap and Sigsworth have seen an increase in interest in their projects post-collaboration.
. The first, "Everytime
", appeared on her US number-one album, In the Zone
and, when released as the third single from the album, reached number one in the UK and Australian singles charts, as well as number fifteen in the US Billboard Hot 100. In 2005
, Sigsworth and Spears collaborated on a song Spears had written about having a child, "Someday (I Will Understand)
". A track Imogen Heap and Sigsworth had worked on for the In the Zone album, entitled "Over to You Now", was also released on the UK and Japanese bonus CD EP
Chaotic of the DVD release of her reality TV show, Britney & Kevin: Chaotic
, as well as on the Japanese "Someday (I Will Understand)" single. More recently Sigsworth produced the song "Out from Under", and co-wrote and produced the song "My Baby", for Spears' 2008 album Circus

, Sigsworth composed a tune on his Yamaha QY20 pocket sequencer. As soon as he arrived back in London, he took it to Imogen Heap, and asked her to write a top line for it. It became "Flicks", their first song for what would become the Frou Frou album Details

. Originally there was no plan for Sigsworth and Heap to form a "proper" band. It was simply a matter of Sigsworth wanting to hear various song ideas properly realized. As Heap says: "Every month or so Guy would phone me up and say 'I've got a new song, would you come in and sing it?' and then before we knew it we'd already started the album."
As a linking concept for the emerging set of songs, Sigsworth suggested two ideas for the lyrics:
- They should feel like one half of a conversation rather than singer-on-a-soapbox declarations. Sigsworth's inspiration for this was the 1932 Jean CocteauJean CocteauJean Maurice Eugène Clément Cocteau was a French poet, novelist, dramatist, designer, playwright, artist and filmmaker. His circle of associates, friends and lovers included Kenneth Anger, Pablo Picasso, Jean Hugo, Jean Marais, Henri Bernstein, Marlene Dietrich, Coco Chanel, Erik Satie, María...
play La voix humaineLa voix humaineLa voix humaine is a one-act opera for one character, with music by Francis Poulenc to a libretto by Jean Cocteau, based on his 1930 play. La voix humaine was first performed at the Opéra-Comique, Salle Favart in Paris on 6 February 1959...
(the entire text of the play consists of one side of a telephone conversation between a woman and her former lover. Her lover's words are never heard but are inferred from her words). - The word "love" should be used as often as possible.
Sigsworth wrote the lyrics to the songs "Breathe In", "Only Got One" and "The Dumbing Down Of Love", and co-wrote the lyrics to "Let Go", "It's Good To Be In Love", and "Psychobabble" on Details. Heap wrote the remaining lyrics, apart from "Maddening Shroud", which has lyrics by Alexander Nilere.
After eleven songs had been completed, Heap and Sigsworth set about finding a name for their collaborative effort. Sigsworth, a fan of all things French, came up with "Frou Frou", which Heap loved. The name comes from Rimbaud's 1870 poem "Ma Bohème", and is a French onomatopoeic word originally meaning the swishing noise made by skirts on dancing women. The album title, "Details", was a reference to the way the songs were constructed in the studio, by layering momentary details of sounds and performances to create a web of sound.
The album was released in 2002
