<\/a><\/p>\n Last week I got to interview the legendary Imogen Heap<\/em> and it was such a wonderful experience. In case you missed it, here's the link to Part One<\/a> of the interview. In this second part of my interview with Imogen Heap<\/em>, the electronica goddess talks about the album artwork, working with Mika<\/em>, her thoughts on Little Boots<\/em> & La Roux<\/em> and her plans for hitting the road for "Ellipse"<\/em>…<\/p>\n EQ: Talk me through the artwork for <\/span>"Ellipse"<\/span><\/em> – any special meaning behind your holding a little piece of spiralling light? <\/span> <\/p>\n
Imogen Heap: Again when my manager was talking to me, he was like \u201cwe have to get some press shots together next week\u201d<\/em> and I was like \u201cI don\u2019t want to do this right now \u2013 I don\u2019t want to be in a caf\u00e9 or nonsense like that. Can I have a bit more time?\u201d<\/em> and he was like \u201cwell we have to get them done now for the promo to go out\u201d. So when I was thinking about it \u2013 what represents me for the last two years, and the music and the house and what I feel like I\u2019m about. I had this really clear image in my head about me giving or handing something to someone. Like a gesture of, here it is \u2013 something that represented the album and everything that had gone on. I saw this spiral thing, kind of a galactical \u2013 it could be huge or tiny \u2013 which is my mind, my thoughts, the light of my life, my music and coming back to the family house, the journey around the world, making the record, all these full circles that had been happening to me and about the record and I just felt it all felt right and it felt really clear and I wanted to be on the cover looking into the camera \u2013 I\u2019ve never done that, I\u2019ve never chosen a press shot like that \u2013 well there\u2019s a couple…. I don\u2019t really like the way I look when I\u2019m face on\u2026I like doing more profile shots because it\u2019s more engaging, so yeah, it kinda all came together. So Andy, a guy off Twitter won the competition to get involved in the artwork and he helped design \u201cEllipse\u201d<\/em> really beautifully \u2013 it\u2019s literally, exactly what I saw in my head and it\u2019s beautiful and I love it.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
