Imogen Heap has asked her fans to accompany her in completing the final leg of her new album “Sparks“. Those who pre-order the limited edition deluxe box set are asked to send in their footprints which will be used to create the album cover. This strictly limited edition deluxe box will be available a week earlier than the standard releases on February 24th, 2014. Designed and developed over the past two years by Imogen and her creative team with CSV (the company behind Radiohead’s special packaging) it will be the very first time that Imogen has released a deluxe package. The pre-order is open now until September 30th. The submitted footprints will also be a part of a “special ticket” which will be included within the deluxe box set. This ticket is made from a one-of-a-kind blended paper containing various items that Imogen has used in the physical recording of the songs for the album. In addition, the ticket will give fans access to one of the sound checks on her world tour where they will get to meet Imogen in person and see her rehearsing and setting up before the show.

Says Heap, “The album began with someone sending in the sound of a striking match for what became Lifeline in March 2011. I then dived into the most immense, intense creative 2 and a half years of my life that took me all over the planet, collaborating on so many projects with so many people and often totally spontaneously. The album is then in some ways for me grounded with fans’ footprints bringing the finishing touch for the album art, as so many of them came along for the ride.”
