How You Remind Me
While I’m sure there are many who would lay claim to have known of Leslie Feist since her first album, 1999’s Monarch (Lay Your Jeweled Head Down), the audience grew exponentially with her sophomore release, the highly lauded Let It Die, an album still warm with all of the buzz it has received since its debut.
And now comes The Reminder, Feist’s follow-up to Let It Die, which is set to arrive officially in the U.S. tomorrow.
So what can one find with Feist’s latest record? Well, more of that same winning formula which has made her so irresistible to those who already love her. The music here is pleasant and engaging; Feist’s voice soft and hypnotic.
‘My Moon, My Man,’ the album’s first single, is a forceful upbeat pacer and highly addicting while the beautiful ‘Limit To Your Love’ contains the evocative power of Feist’s voice when paired with the right lyric and melody.
Also not to be missed is ‘Sealion,’ Feist’s rendition of the great Nina Simone’s ‘See-line Woman,’ a song she’s been performing live for the past few years.
There’s a limit to your love
Like a waterfall in slow motion
Like a map with no ocean
There’s a limit to your love
Your love your love your love
- Feist
Collectively, The Reminder is a solid album and one that plays well from beginning to end. It’s just that after creating something as fresh and unique as Let It Die, The Reminder comes off as just that - a reminder of what I knew to be good.

Hallo Robbie !
Gute Arbeit an deiner Webseite !
Thanks, Michael. There’s still a lot I’m in the process of moving/editing. I hope to have everything worked out within the week.
Thanks for visiting!
I love the new design. And I love that there’s finally some new music here.
glad you’re back up and running- everything looks great!
good to see you back! Nice tracks.
Thanks for Womenfolk’s new design and for your post on Feist. I’ve been wondering for some time how “Feist” is pronounced — with a long “e” or a long “i”. My grandparents’ surname was Feist, and they pronounced it like the word “feast” — that is, with a long “e”. Does anyone know how Leslie Feist pronounces her name?
Hi, Stuie. Feist’s last name is pronounced like ‘fyst,’, using a long ‘i’ sound like the word ‘eye.’
Thanks for stopping by.
Glad you are back!!
So nice.
I pre-ordered this, but it hasn’t arrived. Don’t miss Feist’s youtube video for 1234!
Eric, you can download a better version of the ‘1234′ video over at All Things Feist. Lots more there, too.
Great to have you back! The site looks great and I can’t wait to see/hear more. I kept the link on my blog hoping you’d re-emerge — it was worth the wait!
