Feist - Let it DieFeist is Leslie Feist, a mesmerizing singer from Calgary who has graced CDs by Toronto bands Broken Social Scene and By Divine Right. She’s destined for stardom. Like expats Peaches and Chilly Gonzales, Feist has a base in Europe, where she recorded this captivating collection of songs with Manu Chao producer Renaud Létang. From the samba swing of “Gatekeeper” and the disco-ish “Inside and Out” to the Bacharach-like “One Evening” and the irresistible “Mushaboom,” it’s thrilling and absolutely addictive.
