We got the exclusive opportunity to meet with British pop star Imogen Heap during her recent US tour. Here's a clip of her performing her smash hit Hide and Seek.

There s a lot of hype surrounding this album, sort of poised to be bigger than her hair, to be quite honest with you, which is, needless to say, huge. Now, Imogen actually bought her childhood home in the UK and set up shop and labored for two years very meticulously on every electronic flourish, every vocal melody, every lyric, every title, and the result is a beautiful, very intricate album. Elipse isn t a grand departure from her formula she used on Speak for Yourself, so if you liked that album, then chances are that you ll really enjoy this album, as well. And at the very least, we can all sit back and watch Zach Braff pick through a bevy of new songs as he cries his way to self-discovery.
