The Timely Reminder

Feist
The Reminder

With The Reminder, Feist wants us to remember her, for good that is. And what a timely reminder and follow-up to 2004's splendid Let It Die. The Canadian chanteuse produces yet another solid masterpiece that's both delightful and melancholic.

The uniqueness of her deep sensual voice works well for the tracks. Several of the tracks have a jazzy feel to them such as the breezy So Sorry which finds Feist in an apologetic mood after the departure of a lover. Soon, the mood is lifted with the upbeat I Feel It All. Then there's the ode to her man My Moon My Man and the slightly achy-break The Limit To Your Love.

At the end of the record, it feels like a feast on the ears. The Reminder further cements Feist's position as a talented solid-songwriter of the 2000's. (A+)
