Feist - Let it Die
This album is for all those girls out there who are in need of some relaxation and fun. Let it Die is one of those albums that you listened to while sitting on the beach of your summer cottage drinking fresh strawberry daiquiris.
Feist's sophomore album was recorded between 2002 and 2003 in Paris, France and like the city, this album exudes romance. It begins with a sweetly strumming guitar and soon thereafter a sweetly singing voice on “Gatekeeper”. Like many of the songs on this album, “Gatekeeper” is reminiscent of the playful and catchy songs of the 60's and 70's that wasn't disco. Similarly, “Inside and Out” is a Bee Gees remake and is one of the highlights of the album.
You might have heard the second track, “Mushaboom”, on the radio. It's the song that you just can't get out of your head and quite frankly, you don't want to.
This album is full of ups and downs, in and outs. There's plenty of sultry beats, interspersed with organ riffs, horns and the occasional synthesizer that make you want to take a new stand on love or get down and dirty, so it's best to have your man at the cottage with you.
On the other hand, there are a few songs like “Lonely, Lonely” that are much more sparse than the rest and it's these songs that make you just drift away into a very comfortable place. Feist's voice is powerful yet soft, perfect for folk tales or love ballads. The songs draw images before your eyes like a picture book and the diversity of each one makes Feist one of Canada's undeniable talents.
So you can either move to Paris or get a little taste of it from listening to Let it Die where the only thing dying is the flame of the bedside candle.
