What the papers say
‘This should transform her into a fully-fledged star.  A profound pop gem….filled with love songs and hints of mystery.’
The New York Times.

Who is she?
Leslie Feist.  This is her third solo album.  She is also a central member of the ultra-hip Canadian musical collective, Broken Social Scene.

What do I get?
This album is about to be huge! It is stuffed full of lovely, ballsy, sing-along gems that will work their clever way into your head and refuse to let go.  This is a rare beast: intelligent pop that will appeal to both the cognoscenti and those that only buy a couple of albums a year.  At its centre is the marvellous 1 2 3 4, a gently-swinging tune that starts like a nursery rhyme and builds to a beautiful mass-chorused crescendo.  This, alone, justifies buying this wonderful record.  But there are five or six other absolute gems here.

And?
There’s a fantastic video –filmed in one take- for 1 2 3 4, that’s attracting huge numbers of viewings on youtube. Have a look.
