With Imogen Heap preoccupied with a pair of gloves — sorry,  The Gloves — to make music these days, her former Frou Frou partner Guy Sigsworth hasn’t exactly been twiddling his thumbs. Last year, he co-produced Alanis Morissette’s Havoc And Bright Lights and also partnered with Alison Moyet on her forthcoming album, the minutes.

“Guy Sigsworth returns me to a programmer’s world and marries it with perfect musicality. I have been waiting for him,” Moyet writes on her website. “We have made an album mindless of industry mores that apply to middle-aged women and have shunned all talk of audiences, demographics and advert jazz covers. This has easily been my happiest studio experience.”

While no release date has yet been announced for the minutes (Moyet’s first album since 2007’s The Turn), yesterday she debuted a track from the new set, “Changeling,” graciously offering it as a free download.

In an alternate universe, the ska-goes-electro “Changeling” would have been the standout track on No Doubt’s Push And Shove. But with the assistance of Sigsworth, Moyet has amazingly bested Gwen Stefani and Co.
