Imogen Heap (once half of the London duo Frou Frou) got herself into the Garden State . . . well, the soundtrack anyway, with the electro-pop single "Let Go." (She’s an OC fave too.) Her overlooked solo album, Speak for Yourself (RCA), is all downloadable at iTunes. "HIDE AND SEEK" A gorgeous assemblage of harmonies layered and processed through a vocoder. Think Björk. The OC just grabbed it for Mix 5. "JUST FOR NOW" Graceful piano runs poke their way through a veneer of dreamlike choral pads and airy synths in one of the disc’s more charming tracks. "HAVE YOU GOT IT IN YOU?" Powerful sweeping strings, delicate, plaintive vocals, and a beat that sounds as if it might've been produced by Air almost make you forget that the title sounds suspiciously like a Gatorade ad. Lyrically shallow, sonically deep. "HEADLOCK" Think Supreme Beings of Leisure meet the soundtrack to Requiem for a Dream . . . only happier.
