England (2002 – 2003)
Frou Frou was an electronic music duo formed in England with two members: Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth, active from 2002 to 2003.
Frou Frou created an impressive brand of vocal-driven, electronic pop. After the British duo had been collaborating for years without a record deal, the group’s debut, Details, was completed for American release on MCA Records in 2002.
Heap and Sigsworth first worked together on
Getting Scared from Heap’s 1998 solo record, I Megaphone. After completing the promotion for that splendid debut, Heap was ready to begin work on a new project and the two hooked up again as Sigsworth had privately been compiling music specifically for Heap while producing other projects. The first track, conceived by the new, more formal (but as yet unnamed) pairing, eventually turned into Flicks from Details, which is perhaps Frou Frou’s most Björk-reminiscent number.
Sigsworth grew up listening to eclectic female artists like Kate Bush, and along with Heap, developed an appreciation for classical music. He has specifically worked with Björk (Homogenic, Vespertine) and Madonna (What It Feels Like for a Girl) among many other significant ’90s pop and electronic artists. Far from being the kind of campy moniker one might expect from a more sugary pop outfit, the name Frou Frou was decided upon when Francophile Sigsworth noticed the phrase in a Baudelaire poem.

Weird thing, look what I've found on wikipedia recently: "In 2010, if all goes according to plan, the duo will be releasing a single featuring 2 currently unreleased tracks from the Details sessions: Deal With It and Guitar Song. Imogen has also stated in articles that the duo will be collaborating in the future, though there are no concrete plans." // Anyone knows anything about that? There was no reference on wiki....
