GRAMMY-winning musician and singer Imogen Heap and GRAMMY-nominated producer/musician Guy Sigsworth have released their first song in 15 years as electronic-pop duo Frou Frou.

"Guitar Song (Live)"  was released Friday (April 19) and is an acoustic love song. "Take your time, we'll feel our rhythm/ And find our feet, just like lovers do/ Me and you," Heap sings. 

 "Guitar Song: It’s a song—with guitar! Easy, breezy and summery. Like João Gilberto playing shoegazer music. Or something :),” Sigsworth said in a statement. 

The duo released their debut and only album, Details, in 2002. The album featured "Breathe In" and "Let Go," which appears and helped bring to life Zach Braff's film Garden State. The duo disbanded in 2004 but reunited for Heap's Mycelia World tour. 

"So happy to be releasing dear ‘Guitar Song’ with Guy, as Frou Frou,” Imogen Heap said in the statement. “We never really got to tour as Frou Frou that much but we are making up for it and opening every show on this World Tour we are on with this song."

The two will launch the U.S. leg of the Mycelia world tour on April 28 in Miami. For more information on the tour, visit Imogen Heap's website. Listen to their latest above.
