(Voir plus bas pour infos en français) Heap kept in contact with Guy Sigsworth, who had co-written and produced "Getting Scared" from i Megaphone. The initial idea was that Sigsworth would put together an album, featuring tracks written and produced by him alongside a singer, songwriter, poet or rapper, to be released under the name Frou Frou. Sigsworth himself was also having record label issues, as his band, Acacia, were being ignored. Heap explains that Sigsworth invited her over to his studio, to write lyrics to a four-bar motif he had, with one condition - that she include the word "love" somewhere. The first line she came up with was "lung of love, leaves me breathless", and the Details album track, "Flicks" was born. A week later, Sigsworth phoned her up again, and together they wrote and recorded "Breathe In" and it happened again and again, until nearly half the album was completed. In December 2001, they made the conscious decision to form a duo together. Their first official release as Frou Frou was a remix of "Airplane" (renamed "Aeroplane") - a track they had written together at the time of "Getting Scared", which was used as a B-side on the "Shine" single and on the Japanese re-release of i Megaphone. In August 2002, they released the Details album and singles "Breathe In", "It's Good To Be In Love", and "Must Be Dreaming" (the latter two were not commercially available). The album - a full collaboration between the duo, with Heap giving vocals to tracks they had written and produced together - was critically acclaimed, but did not enjoy the commercial success that had been hoping for, and in late 2003, after an extensive promotional tour of the UK, Europe and the U.S., the duo were told that their record label, Island Records would not be picking up the option for a second album. They were, however, open to signing Heap as a solo artist; she declined, unwilling to entrust them with her career after their mistreatment of Details. She says, "If you had taken a shirt into a dry cleaners and they burned it, would you then go, 'Thanks very much. I'll bring in my other dry cleaning tomorrow'? You wouldn't. So I didn't take the deal." Heap and Sigsworth remain firm friends, and have worked together since the project, including their temporary re-formation in late 2003, when they covered the Bonnie Tyler classic, "Holding Out for a Hero", which was featured during the credits of the movie Shrek 2 after Jennifer Saunders' version in the film. Frou Frou saw a resurgence in popularity in 2004, when their album track "Let Go" was featured in the film Garden State. Heap's "Just For Now" appeared as a song in the film The Holiday that appeared in cinemas in 2006. En 2002, Imogen Heap s'associera de nouveau avec Guy Sigsworth pour former le groupe de pop Frou Frou. Le nom du groupe est issu d'un poème de Baudelaire, que Guy admire particulièrement. Imogen Heap et Guy Sigsworth commencent à écrire les textes et à composer la musique. Imogen Heap posera toutefois une condition : elle veut en effet que le mot love (amour) apparaisse dans les chansons. La première phrase qu'ils écriront sera : « lung of love, leaves me breathless », les premières lignes de la chanson Flicks figurant sur l'album. En août 2002 sort officiellement Details, en coopération avec la maison de disque Island Records. Malgré de très bonnes critiques, l'album reste un semi-échec commercial, ne se faisant remarquer qu'en 2004 après que le titre Let Go ait servi de bande originale au film Garden State de Zach Braff. Leur dernier titre produit servira aussi de bande originale, puisque ce ne sera qu'autre Holding Out For A Hero, une reprise de Bonnie Tyler, pour le film Shrek 2. Fin 2003, Guy Sigsworth et Imogen Heap annoncent la séparation du groupe : il n'y aura pas de second album.
