Zach Braff's use of the song "Let Go" for the ending credits for his film Garden State and the inclusion on its Grammy-winning soundtrack is credited as exposing Frou Frou and Imogen Heap to a much wider audience. Its use as the last song was actually suggested by Braff's girlfriend at the time, Bonnie Somerville.[4]
