Multitudes

The album may be even bolder and more bracing than the theatrical experiment that preceded it ... She sounds fearless in every sense of the word.

Multitudes leaves listeners feeling like they have something to learn from Feist, who is becoming a prophet of her generation.

Ending with a track called "Song for Sad Friends" that acknowledges that it's appropriate to feel bad in these times, perhaps the most impressive thing about Multitudes is that virtually any of its 12 songs would be showstoppers in less consummate company.
