Feist
Comment:
Hard to believe that Feist was playing to 100 or so people just a couple years ago, what with the sudden career-catapulting success of "1234" — [i]the song[/i] that, in 2007, made her a mainstream curiosity of epic "Who's that girl?" proportions. (In one week alone, she performed on both [i]The Today Show[/i] and [i]The View[/i].) Spend some time with our catalogue-skimming Essentials playlist and you'll see why she's been such a crossover hit: At her very core, Feist is a splendid pop singer, letting her breathless harmonies loose in a room full of balmy jazz tones; skittering, scampering electronic effects and traces of Tropicália ("Leisure Suite"); mirror ball-sparkling disco (the Bee Gees cover "Inside and Out"); and lighter-lifting torch ballads ("Let It Die," "So Sorry," "Honey Honey"). One more time, then: "1, 2, 3, 4, tell us why you now love Feist more."
