2005, Polydor/Universal
The beautiful songstress Feist -- who roomed with Peaches, worked with the Kings of Convenience, and supplied vocals for Broken Social Scene's "You Forgot It in People" -- steps out for her debut album, "Let It Die." Carefully pieced around Feist's seductive voice, the album forms the missing link between ye olde folk (storytelling), the Brill building era (the quest for the hook), doo-wop (melody and mood), and minimal modern pop arrangements. Francoise Hardy-style orchestral pop, hipster neuvo-disco, and lovely indie-folk is the order of the day.

Jason StewartBubbly disco, soothing jazz, sugar pop, somber trip-hop, and aching folk all collide and mesh together on this album full of sexy, sensual passion and lonely, lusty heartache. There's even a French ditty tucked away in there. Leslie Feist's voice is a lovely, lilting instrument full of romance and charm and sadness and whimsy, and her torch songs are enough to make you cry. The album makes me think of the season cycle: The hope and the growth of the spring, the light, airy joy of the summer, the change and the decay of the fall, and the bitter cold and painful death of the winter. I guess relationships can be like that sometimes, and it's best to just let them die. Weh ell eh ell eh ell, Miss Feist, I'm sold. I'm most definitely sold.
