Frou Frou (pronounced /ˈfruːfruː/) were a British electronic music duo composed of Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth. They released their only album, Details, in 2002. They both write, produce and play instruments on the tracks, while Heap also provides the vocals. Frou Frou disbanded (amicably) in 2003 to go their separate ways musically and have denied the possibility of another Frou Frou album.
Heap and Sigsworth met in the mid 1990s on the London music scene Sigsworth coming to the attention of Heap and her record label due to his writing/production/keyboard-playing work with Seal and Björk. Their first work together consisted of Heap providing extra vocals for Sigsworth's band Acacia. She subsequently contributed to the live Acacia lineup at several concerts, became a significant "floating member" of the band (although never a full member) and sang on all but one track on Acacia's ill-fated debut album Cradle.
Sigsworth subsequently contributed to Heap's debut album, i Megaphone, which was released on the now-defunct Almo Sounds in 1998. Together they wrote the first single to be taken from i Megaphone, the angst-ridden "Getting Scared," which Sigsworth also produced, and the B-side to the album's second single, "Shine," entitled "Airplane."
