Aptly for an artist who likes to keep things confessional via vBlogs and Google hangouts, today’s video features Imogen Heap in bed with her partner, the filmmaker Michael Lebor. “It was a very intimate shoot and I didn’t want anyone else in the room,” explains Lebor. “An added challenge given that the camera only recorded 10 seconds of super slow-motion at a time, so I kept having to jump up and run across the room to press 'end record', not wearing very much.” “Entanglement” was originally written for the Twilight film Breaking Dawn, but never made the final cut. The vampires didn’t bite, prompting today’s track to stand out as a relatively simple composition on Heap’s long-awaited concept album, Sparks. Three years in the making, this leftfield record seals her reputation as a sonic pioneer by way of specialized hi-tech musical gloves, a song that also exists as a running app, and crowd-sourced collaborations with her online community. “This track is different from any of the rest of them because it’s recorded in the old fashioned way,” confides the Grammy award-winning British musician. “It was nice to draw on my own experience and go in.” Heap, who is expecting her first child in November, continues to break new ground as the artist/curator of Reverb, a festival of electronica at London’s Roundhouse later this month, where she will perform “Entanglement” for the first time.

Sparks is out Monday August 18. Imogen Heap performs at The Roundhouse this Sunday August 24 as part of Reverb.
