Free Music Notes for The ReminderFree Music Review: amazing album Hit: 4 Starskind of reminds me of an Americanized Bjork. Beautiful voice accompanied by simple, yet beautiful music. Must buy.
Free Music Review: BUY THIS ALBUM. NOW. Hit: 5 StarsLeslie Feist is another one of those artists that I was introduced to on the Tonight Show. Although I heard her song "1234" back then, I really didn't start paying attention to it until after I saw the video as well as when she performed it on Saturday Night Live. I then went to check her latest album The Reminder out and, well, I can't put it down.
Feist, to me, sounds like a more accessible Tori Amos, because her vocal stylings are similar yet it's easier for casual listeners to understand what she's talking about. But all comparisons aside, there is not one minute wasted on this album. Most of the songs on here are mellow, but when she picks things up, it also works, like on "I Feel It All", "Sealion" (an interpolation of Nina Simone's "See-line Woman"), and the aforementioned "1234". And slow songs also impress, like "So Sorry", "The Limit to Your Love" and "The Park".
I also enjoy the album's closer, "How My Heart Behaves", although I wish I knew whom the male singer is that's singing with her. And I enjoy everything else as well. If you want to pop a CD in your player that'll never have you reaching for the fast-forward button, then The Reminder is it.

Free Music Review: Really Like Her voice Hit: 4 StarsShe has a very beautiful voice and I really like it. I wish that the songs were a little more upbeat but the album is very solid. All the songs are good and I can sit down and listen to the whole album which says a lot because I usually get bored. I would recommend this album.
Free Music Review: A sweet escape Hit: 5 Stars Whether you need something that will slip quietly into the background, or something soothing to focus on, "The Reminder" seems to do it all. The sweet and often seductive vocals Feist provides in this album are sure to melt your heart. Her voice is at once so unique and delicate, it is as if when she sings she were singing right to you. It's not hard to picture Feist singing right into your ear and playing with your hair a little as she does.
The music is also subtle enough at times that it slips quietly into the background wherefore you enjoy its pleasant company as you would an old friend. It's an all around enjoyable Album that sets the tone and lets you decide if you'd rather actively participate, or just sit back and enjoy.
Truly and honestly the 30 second "preview" clips do not do justice to this album. Listening to "The Reminder" in its entirety is the only way to fully "feel it all". Purchasing this album is not something you'll be likely to regret.
Free Music Review: Kinda dissappointed Hit: 3 StarsI should have sampled all the songs on this album. I was hoping it would be mostly upbeat, but it's not. Oh, well.
