<body><![CDATA[Variously part of the Broken Social Scene collective, a flatmate of Peaches and Gonzales, a rapper under the stage-name Bitch Lap-Lap and a songwriter for Jane Birkin, this Canadian singer has emerged from a complicated chrysalis as a butterfly with beautiful wings. If her songs – all jazz-tinted, skiffle-tinged smooch, frisson, ennui, rapaciousness and heartache – zoom the listener to the prime pavement table outside the perfect Parisian café, her extraordinary voice, part Billie, part Dusty, has other, darker agendas (check out her vocals on the new Kings of Convenience album for further proof). Songs as wide-open and waiting to be loved as Lonely Lonely and When I Was a Young Girl make this an album that will burrow deep inside you and refuse to leave.Click <a href="asfunction:Tardis.webPageOpen,http://www.listentofeist.com"><b>here</b></a> to visit the official Feist website.
