Pleasure (CD)

2017 release, the fifth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Feist. When Feist came out with 2011's Metals, her underrated follow-up to The Reminder, she made it clear that she was not interested in playing the sparkly, quirky pop singer seen in the quot;1234quot; video for the rest of her days. quot;Built by what we got built for/As much as what we avoid,quot; she sings, shouting the first line and cooing the second. By the climax, she's screaming about how pleasure is quot;what we're here forquot; but still hinting at more than just straight-up carnality. She doubles down on the clamor with punkish hiccups, handclaps, and shouty chants. What began as a ruminative peek into why we desire, becomes a kind of rallying cry for how sex is our will. Now that's the reminder.
