Imogen Heap on Viral ‘Headlock’ Success, AI and Ariana Grande: ‘There’s a New Type of Energy This Time’


Imogen Heap discusses her 2005 single "Headlock," how she's influenced by AI and her relationship with Ariana Grande.

98 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has cracked the top 40 in the U.K. – but it’s a newfound appreciation for Heap’s groundbreaking approach to pop music that has summoned an increasingly feverish Gen Z audience. In 2010, Heap became the first woman to win a Grammy for engineering, while her music has since been sampled extensively by Grande (“Goodnight N Go,” “Eternal Sunshine”), as well as rappers including A$AP Rocky and the late Mac Miller. Recently, there’s been the launch of data solution Auracles, while Heap has also spent the past few years working on Mogen, an AI assistant that she hopes will deepen her creative process in the studio.
