good luck, i love you {July 10, 2009}

A lovely prezzie to get this weekend off the ground: Imogen Heap's new single, "First Train Home," is streaming on Stereogum!

Yep, it's very likely to play in the background of an awful Grey's Anatomy episode. I do, however, love Imogen Heap and I like her new tune. Her songs are distinctive, beautifully constructed & unabashedly girlish—with blips, pops, floating vocals and layers capturing those droplets in the time, those moments where blood floods & flushes our cheeks—the moments that stay fixed in our minds forever, both good & bad.

I'd be hard-pressed to find a girl that could listen to Imogen Heap without falling into a series of sighs. Get ready, her new album, Ellipse, will be out next month.

Have a great weekend, let go and do something really fun. Your reality is malleable, xo!

Ok Liz!!! JUST STOP IT! :) I'm Addicted

Thanks for posting the Imogen Heap stream. She's one of my favorite artists.

Now stop being such a beautiful artist yourself!:) I'm getting addicted to your poetic words, musical intro's, and the gorgeous photos you present to us, and now I can't seem to get much else done. :)

Keep up the artistic juices and great work Liz! I like this Addiction and all that you do!:)

Whoa. And I thought I was a fan. I pale in comparison.
Hope you're having a great weekend!

Glad to hear some Imogen love out there. There are just some days/moments where only her music will do.

Love the Bread + Butter piece! I liked it even more when I read about how it is actually put together. One day, I hope to see this on my walls.

Thanks, everyone! This song has been on repeat all weekend, glad you love it too.

agreed... thanks so much for the new IH!

it was on heavy rotation for me last week, until it finally got bumped this morning by a track from the upcoming "fun." release. ("Be Calm" studio version is unbelievable...)

anyway, thanks for all you do, and keep doing it. :)

Thx, Rich! I will have to check out "Be Calm."
