That's right, the new Feist has arrived and it is an absolute thing of beauty. I've spent the past couple days absorbing Leslie Feist's third album, "The Reminder," and I can't stop the songs and her voice from weaving in and out of my brain. The album is anchored by Feist's jazzy smooth voice on singles like "My Moon My Man" and "1234" and skips along at a rate that seems almost effortless. Unlike her sophomore disk, "Let it Die," Feist is credited with writing every song on "The Reminder" except for Nina Simone's "Sea Lion Woman." Feist sings with such emotional gravity that, at the same time, remains as light and airy as a wafer cookie. The Calgary native, Toronto Punk Kid, Paris Ex-Pat, and Broken Social Scenester has delivered one of the best albums of 2007 so far by far.
This bachelor is a paradox. He is equal parts Dandy and Hobo, gliding through life with little resistance and significant aplomb. No easy feat in Canada. This blog helps him to fulfill his life long ambition of forcing his taste on others and telling people what to do. The time for gentlemen is upon us.
