Leslie

Leslie Feist (best known by her last name) sounds a little like Isabelle Antena, especially when she covers Francoise Hardy's L'amour ne dure pas toujours (1963), posted here (1). Canadian born Feist started out as a punkrocker (her first band opened for the Ramones), then worked with shock-electro-rocker Peaches, with pianorapper Gonzales and semi-serious rapper Mocky. Her second solo-album Let It Die was very well received (certified gold in France), thanks to clever songwriting and a variety of styles, from ye olde folk to campfire-singalongs to a really fantastic cover of The Beegees' Inside and Out. If you're into electronic music, check out the brilliant remixes of this song by Ewan Pearson. Also very good is het duet with French singer Albin de la Simone, Elle Aime, posted here (2) as well.
