Feist - The Reminder


This is a gorgeous record for listening. Feist is 31-year-old Canadian songwriter Leslie Feist. A founding member of one of this writers favorite band, Broken Social Scene. The Reminder (May, 2007) is her 3rd solo effort. The song 1234 from the record reached #8 in America and was the first song to reach that position in the Top 10 on the strength of digital downloads alone. This of course was boosted by the songs use in Apples iPod Nano commercial.
The album is smooth, well written, light and intimate. Interesting instrumentation and arrangements. The excellent recording and mastering make the CD a very, very pleasing listening experience. Feist sweet and musical voice is the other half of The Reminder (Interscope/Cherrytree) winning combination.
