Imogen Heap - Lifeline (heapsong1) - New Single
![Date Date](/universal/images/transparent.png)
We like this new song and the idea behind it a lot. Imogen Heap's brand new single Lifeline started it's life as #heapsong1, being a crowdsourcing project. 2 weeks ago Imogen asked fans to contribute audio ideas via SoundCloud to build a song around. The next day fans could upload lyric ideas on the microsite for the track, the most popular ones incorporated into the final lyrics. 3 days later a middle section of the track was made available and fans asked to contribute solos to be added. Fans have also had the chance to upload stills and video for a possible inclusion in the final video for Lifeline. Imogen says:
“There's so much going on in my life with touring, talks and tech that the choice to do this was both a temporal necessity coupled with my passion for collaborative, spontaneous and creative projects. I also love the idea that the seeds of the song begins with the fans making a full circle when it's experienced as a finished piece."
We love this idea of genuine Imogen Heap fans having this much input in the finished body of work. So cool! The material used will be credited and paid appropriately. Imogen will release new crowdsourced material every three months for the next 3 years until the album is completed. Visit the microsite here for a peek of what's around the corner.
