Fans of Imogen Heap! Get ready to be blown away by her live performance of āWait It Out,ā from her new album āEllipse.ā After a very long while, Imogen officially released her 3rd album in the market. The album has 13 amazing tracks; āWait It Outā is the albumās 2nd track. āEllipseā is actually climbing not only the US and UK charts, but also in the Canadian Album Charts. Too bad the albumās not available for free digital download, but many thanks to TED, Heap fans get a taste of her music live.
Imogen Heap writes songs under the genre of indie, rock, electronic, ambient, pop, and alternative. She is very much inclined to music ā she plays 8 instruments and sheās not only a singer-songwriter, sheās also a visual artist. In āWait It Out,ā Imogen lyrically expressed the feeling of wait and not knowing whatās going to happen next. Itās actually a sad song. Mixed with her gentle piano-playing and lovely voice, Imogen really know how to take captive of listenerās hearts.
The featured video was shot last July 2009 in a TED Conference in Oxford, England. Compared to her studio album performance of the song, her live rendition made it more mellow and classical; it was very beautiful and full of emotion. Honestly speaking, only few artists can nail a great live performance ā Imogen exceeded the expectations of everyone in the function. Non-stop applause were offered to her after her ending the song with a dramatic touch on the keys combined with her soulful voice.
Imogen Heapās live performance of āWait It Outā is truly something music lovers shouldnāt miss. Her spontaneity, grace, and one of a kind voice will take listeners to a different world, in her world.
