The Reminder»rank: 29par: Feist
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:The Reminder, Feist's third release, comes from the same well of quiet, appealing songwriting, and delicate vocalizations that made 2004's Let lt Die such a sweet treat. This one is a bit more hushed and ballad heavy, closer to Cat Power than Peaches (with whom Feist has also worked with in the past) but maintains an indie-minded blend of confessional pop, jazzy folk, and lo-fi torch songs. The comparatively upbeat single 'My Moon My Man' ... |

The Baroness»rank: 1896par: Sarah Slean
Chroniques et points de vue:Amazon.ca:Sarah Slean's recipe for her musical concoctions is unwaveringly consistent: take a handful of Cabaret-affected melodies, add a sprinkle of musical theatre, then steep that all together in a stockpot of fragile but powerful emotions. With some of the singer's earlier releases, Slean seemed to be trying terribly hard to sound deep and wise; thankfully, that quality has softened somewhat over time. As a result, the music on her fifth CD The Baroness flows more ... |

Love At The End Of The World»rank: 46par: Sam Roberts
Chroniques et points de vue: : When Sam Roberts released his heavily-acclaimed full-length debut We Were Born ln A Flame in 2003, the Montreal rocker received high praise from fans and journalists alike; his second CD Chemical City, however, was considerably more psychedelic and garnered less adoration from the masses. Five years after his debut, this third disc Love At The End 0f The World appears to have achieved a solid balance between radio-friendly rock and rootsy jams, and is ... |

The Essential Leonard Cohen (Rm) (2CD)»rank: 180par: Leonard Cohen
Chroniques et points de vue:From :This two-disc retrospective traces the Canadian bard's musical maturity from poet and novelist who sang a little to multidimensional artist whose oracular vocals and increasingly rich arrangements are every bit as compelling as his verse. Even when Cohen came to prominence through the 1960s songcraft of 'Suzanne' and 'Bird on a Wire,' the 'folksinger' tag never really fit. Later highlights ranging from the deadpan drollery of 'Tower of Song' and 'Everybody Knows' to the ... |

Watershed»rank: 48par: K.D. Lang
Chroniques et points de vue: :ln her first quarter-century in the music business, Canadian k.d. lang has gone from straight-up country artist to iconic pop songstress, with many side-steps into pop, jazz, and show tunes along the way. An eight-year break since her last record of originals (2000's lnvincible Summer) has re-channeled and recharged both the songwriter and that brightly toned voice that lies within. ln assembling this intimate 11-song album, which features many of her enduring collaborators but is ... |

Hymns of the 49th Parallel»rank: 1734par: K.D. Lang
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Was it homesickness that compelled long time Los Angeles resident k. d. lang to fashion her one woman campaign for north of the border nationalism, or just plain good sense? As an organizing tool, all Canadian content has long been a mainstay of the Canadian Broadcasting System but few have selected their material with such a fine hand and a high aesthetic. The expatriate singer has taken great pains to create a sophisticated homage ... |

Let It Die»rank: 1478par: Feist
Chroniques et points de vue:From :Canadian singer Leslie Feist has served as a guest vocalist for Norwegian folkies Kings of Convenience, Toronto power-pop troupe Broken Social Scene and - under the frightening name 'Bitch Lap-Lap' - the hairy female rapper Peaches. But her unruly resume hardly prepares you for the emotionally rich, softy sensual music on her major label debut. Moving from tortured torch songs such as 'Lonely Lonely' to pulsating originals like 'Mushaboom', it also contains stunning remakes ... |
