Album  : Let it Die

In the age of excess, it takes more than just courage to embrace simplicity and a stripped down approach to music. For a Canadian indie pop singer, Leslie Feist, a minimalist approach are warmth and excellent. With a touch of jazz and trip-hop around the edges, her music really kicks off.

                Armed only with an acoustic guitar, drum loops, thin-sounding keyboards and jazz-tinged vocals, Feist triumphantly assembled a record 0f 13 flawlessly sunny pop songs beaming with simple beauty.
