Feist - The Reminder - CD 10


The Reminder is Feist's 3rd cd and it is very good. It has already appeared on many "Best of 2007" lists. You may be familiar with her work without knowing it. Feists' song 1234 has been on the ipod commerical for some time now. In fact, that platform is largely responsible for her surprising popularity given her ecclectic and largely jazz-like style. She sometimes sounds like Rickie Lee Jones, sometimes like Norah Jones, sometimes like a cabaret singer, and sometimes like no one you've heard before. There is a lot of subtlety to this album. It is the kind of cd you hear something new with each listening. Highly recommended, it definitely makes my Best of 2007 list.

Okay, you guys are the tipping point. I've read about how great this album is one too many times. Pardon me while I'll jump over to Amazon. --Jennifer
