    Perhaps the most impressive thing about Multitudes is that virtually any of its 12 songs would be showstoppers in less consummate company.

    With Multitudes Feist has entered a new era in her artistry, one in which she makes space for reverie. Her grand realizations are beautifully stated.

    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. [May 2023, p.20]

    Much warmer and more inviting [than 2017's Pleasure]. [May 2023, p.88]

    ‘Multitudes’ was written in part during an experimental and communal set of shows Feist put on through 2021 and 2022 by the same name, and 12 poetic tracks that make up ‘Multitudes’ embody the same inventiveness, intimacy and connection of that limited run of performances in the round.

    “Multitudes” is Feist’s sixth studio album, and it embraces both delicacy and impact. It’s at once her most intimate-sounding and her most ambitious set of songs.

    The album eschews the extroversion of the singer’s best work, like her 2007 breakthrough, The Reminder, and ultimately struggles to fully elucidate her multifaceted talents.

    I would say "Multitudes" is a good example about why "intensity" or energy or however you would like to call it is a very important elementI would say "Multitudes" is a good example about why "intensity" or energy or however you would like to call it is a very important element for music. There are some really neat d-tours on the melodies and arrangements on the composition of most of the songs, which I would really like people to pay attention to. Yet, there is a lack of energy that I really starved for on this album. "Borrowed Trouble" would be an awesome reference to create a balanced album around to which it would've been a lot easier to hold on to, but there is a heaviness that is hard to carry along the album that is painful, because there is a blooming sensibility that is surprising and, I would dare to say, it would've been a very important contribution to the organic feel that the music industry has lost almost completely. Yet, there is nothing completely lost in here.… Expand
