Electropop pioneer Imogen Heap teams up with AI twin Mogen for deeply personal new single “Aftercare”

Key Highlights:

• Imogen Heap releases “Aftercare” with AI alter-ego Mogen
• Third single in trilogy exploring sound and wearable tech
• Coincides with “Speak For Yourself” 20th anniversary remaster

Electronic artist Imogen Heap released “Aftercare” on October 12. This marks her biggest AI experiment to date. The song features Mogen AI twin as co-performer. The AI alter-ego hits synth-like notes while Heap keeps full creative control. The track uses a slowed-down melody similar to her 2005 hit “Hide and Seek.” Higher Plain Music calls this “a glacial pace” and says the song transforms the familiar into something completely new. Artists are using AI in creative ways like Yumi Matsutoya’s Chrono Recording System. Matsutoya blends past and present vocals through AI technology.

Heap describes the track as deeply personal self-exploration. She uses motherhood as a metaphor for the future relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. Her son Scout sings at the end of the song. This emphasizes connections between generations.

“Aftercare” completes a trilogy with previous singles “Noise” and “What Have You Done To Me.” All three songs will appear in a larger upcoming release. The timing matches her Speak For Yourself remaster streaming debut on October 17. This celebrates the album’s 20th anniversary. Heap’s StyleFilter AI partnership shows her commitment to artist-controlled AI tools. These tools prioritize creative ownership over corporate profit.
