Feist (3)

"The first thing you notice about Feist is her remarkably sultry voice. Sexy, coy and occasionally husky, her alto seduces listeners, instantly drawing them in like a siren’s call", says Askmen.com, and it's the truth. Canadian-born Feist used to be best known from her work with Broken Social Scene, but nowadays she's a star (well, sort of) in her own right, thanks to second album Let It Die. That album went gold in France - she calls Paris her second home. She duetted with Jane Birkin (on Rendez-vous) and Albin de la Simone, and more recently recorded a song especially for the soundtrack to Paris Je T'Aime, a collection of short films about the City of Light directed by (among others) Gus van Sant, Gérard Depardieu and Wes Craven that was shown at the recent Filmfestival in Cannes.
La Même Histoire is not on Open Season, the just released collection of remixes and rarities. Tout Doucement, originally by Blossom Dearie, is. But she sang more songs in French, like a beautiful cover of Hardy's L'Amour Ne Dure Pas Toujours, or the partly French Amourissima. Here's a collection. UPDATE: duet with Arthur H added.
