A perfect pop song has a way of burrowing into your brain. Once it hooks you, you can't stop listening (for better or worse). Case-in-point: my new favorite song, "I Feel it All" from Leslie Feist's upcoming album The Reminder due out May 1st on Arts & Crafts.
Those of you who've heard her previous work (e.g. the indie hit album Let it Die) are sure to dig this one. The Reminder is a bit more rock oriented than her previous lounge singer-ish material. While there are a still a few of those numbers on the new record, it contains many more acoustic elements (guitars, live drums, etc.) than the synth-heavy debut. It's still got those lovely vocals, of course, and that's what I'm guessing is the main attraction here.
As for "I Feel It All"--well, as I said, it's a perfect pop song (or pretty damn close). It clocks in at just over 3 1/2 minutes and has a very danceable "Hey Ya"-esque tempo. And I can't forget Feist's gorgeous vocals (check that "oh-oh-oh-oh..." breakdown, por ejemplo). I'm not sure why this wasn't the lead single. It's certainly the "Mushaboom" of the new album. "My Man My Moon," the album's apparent single
I dare you not to tap your feet to this at the very least.
