Imogen Heap - Speak For Yourself (2005)
Genres: Downtempo, Electronic, Pop Rock
Have you ever owned an album that embodies great material musically, but the album cover tells a tale of everything but that? Well, this is what the 'Bad Cover, Good Music' post represents. This post is to show a prime example of why it's not always wise to judge an album by it's cover. My goal for this post is to enlighten those that miss out on swell material due to unpleasant covers that misrepresent the beauty held within various albums.
Speak For Yourself is Imogen Heap's second solo album, and it's easily my favorite album by her thus far. On this album, Imogen shows much musicianship and creativity as a solo artist. Remarkably, the album was written, produced, arranged, and funded by Heap herself. Angelic harmonies, digestible lyrics, and sublime production reside within this release. Speak For Yourself is not only a strong album, but it also sets her apart from her previous group Frou Frou.
