you see it and then it's everywhere. or one more place at least.
So that album cover I noticed last week from that "Frou-Frou" person.
On the way back from dinner last night, the radio had "select-a-sets" from listeners. One set caught my ear, very mellow songs, not songs I'd heard before. The first song was very reminiscent of Sting in the chord changes and the arrangement. Like... too much so. Stayed at a lower dynamic and never built quite to that next point of intensity like Sting does though.
Any rate, when the announced the titles of the songs, it was music from the soundtrack to "Garden State," which isn't a movie I know, but that's what they said. And we were going over bumps and it got noisy and I didn't hear which of the songs they said it about (2nd song had been a male vocal, so it wasn't that one), but they announced one of the songs as by Frou-Frou.
I just went and checked out song samples of the soundtrack on Amazon.com, and the Sting-ripoff song is "In the Waiting Line" by Zero 7. Listening to the little sample clip, it still sounds like Sting, in fact, it's very like "The Hounds of Winter." The Frou-Frou song was the last of the set, "Let Go." I like the line from it "There's beauty in the breakdown," or at least if I'm hearing it right. Nothing special to me about the voice though.
Just one of those things where you notice something you'd never heard of before, and then suddenly there it is again. Maybe she's getting really huge and I'll start hearing about her all over the place now, but... it did start with the picture on the cd cover.
