Frou Frou /ˈfruːfruː/ was a British electronic duo composed of Imogen Heap and Guy Sigsworth. They released their only album, Details, in 2002. Both of them wrote, produced and played instruments on the tracks, while Heap also provided vocals. Frou Frou amicably disbanded in 2003 to go their separate ways musically, but have more recently stated the possibility of new Frou Frou collaborations.

Heap and Sigsworth met in the mid-1990s on the London music scene, Sigsworth coming to the attention of Heap and her record label due to his writing/production/keyboard-playing work with Seal and Björk. Their first work together consisted of Heap providing extra vocals for Sigsworth's band Acacia. She subsequently contributed to the live Acacia lineup at several concerts, became a significant "floating member" of the band (although never a full member) and sang on all but one track on Acacia's ill-fated debut album Cradle.

Sigsworth subsequently contributed to Heap's debut album, i Megaphone, which was released on the now defunct Almo Sounds in 1998. Together they wrote the first single to be taken from i Megaphone, the angst-ridden "Getting Scared," which Sigsworth also produced, and the B-side to the album's second single, "Shine," entitled "Airplane."

Heap went on to tour i Megaphone internationally, promoting the record, while Sigsworth (following the split of Acacia in 1997) continued to write and produce for other artists, including Madonna and Lamb. Having remained friends, the pair kept in contact.
