Album Description
Feist is a Canadian songstress, hailing from Toronto. Her first album 'Let It Die', is produced by Renaud Letang & Gonzales. Feist has been Gonzales' fellow for years. Part of the Canadian collective band, Broken Social Scene, Gonzales convinced her to come to Paris to record this first album. The journey started in an out of time, out of norm atmosphere, whose lush grooves are offset by a thoroughly enjoyable live performance, with members of the Germany via Toronto Kitty-Yo crew such as Peaches, Gonzales, & Taylor Savvy. Features 11 tracks including the singles 'Mushroom' & 'One Evening'. Universal.

Canadian singer Leslie Feist has served as a guest vocalist for Norwegian folkies Kings of Convenience, Toronto power-pop troupe Broken Social Scene, and - under the frightening moniker "Bitch Lap-Lap" - the hairy female rapper Peaches. But her unruly resume hardly prepares you for the emotionally rich, softy sensual music on her major label debut. Moving from tortured torch songs such as "Lonely Lonely" to pulsating originals like "Mushaboom," it also contains stunning remakes of Ron Sexsmith's "Secret Heart" and the Bee Gees' "Inside and Out," tunes Feist not only makes her own but effectively uses to dissect her romantic desolation. "Don't you wish we could forget that kiss?" she smolders on the title track. Not in this lifetime. --Aidin Vaziri

 One of my favorite albums ever. April 23, 2009
I have had this CD for a year and a half and I still listen to it all the time. That alone says a lot for me. I saw Feist in concert, and she was so talented and seemed to genuine, it makes it easy to want to support her music. Oh, I'm sure she's not hurtin' for money now that her music has really gone to the masses, but this being her first solo album, it just has that rawness that makes Leslie Feist's style really shine.
 Too Many Lovers Aint Good for You. February 23, 2009
Got turned onto song from a dance performance on YouTube. Later read a good review in Esquire.
Like the whole album
A Masterpiece of Mood September 23, 2008
When I bought this album 2 years ago I immediately latched onto it like a long lost friend. I found that I couldn't put it down and it became something that I used to help me get through bad times, stressful times, times when I just needed to chill out and forget about life for an hour.
I still listen to it on a weekly basis to this day.
There are few works of art in music which are as sublimely beautiful as this. Feist has been blessed with one of the purest, most beautiful voices is music and she imparts her delivery with a cool, detached demeanor which is very seductive.
Although her sound is unique to herself, the vibe that her music gives off is very reminiscent (to me) of one of my favorite all time singers..Sade.
Feist's versatility is amazing. She runs through a number of different genres and excels in each.
One Evening and Leisure Suite are two of my favorite tracks and are absolutely gorgeous R & B. Definately music to play for a romantic evening.
The sparse songs like Gate Keeper and Let it Die put Feists vocals on center stage and she is more than up to the task as she laments love's inconsistancies but remains hopeful (Gatekeeper) even while she mourns for a failed relationship (Let it Die).
Mushaboom is charming and catchy folk rock song. When I Was a Young Girl is a haunting take on a traditional folk song that will have you hitting the replay button.
Her cover of the Bee Gees Inside and Out is an absolute Home Run. A great dance song but still retaining her classy, laid back vibe.
This is a great album. One that you will enjoy over and over again. Extremely listenable ..pop no doubt, but very well done and tasteful pop which elevates the listener to a wonderful and dreamlike state.
Beautiful, Wonderful, Gorgeous, Enchanting July 8, 2008
Simply one of the best CD's I've ever owned. Just a delight from start to finish, Feist's vocals are gorgeous without being sing songy. This album remains in a very small list of my all time favorite albums. Great songwriting and lovely melodies. Just perfect!!
A mesmerizing journey of music May 29, 2008
An absolute dream. A wonderful musical feast from a very gifted songstress. Buy this record. The perfect mix of pop, soft rock, folk, jazz and yes, even disco. It's a perfect 10. The Reminder isn't bad either, but you want to start with this, and most likely you will stick with this...like I did.
