Leslie in Wonderland

What can one possibly add about Leslie Feist? Her name is already on everybody’s lips and her voice in everybody’s head for weeks ... However, the ones who knew her before “The Reminder” have maybe noticed that something has changed. The pretty Canadian singer/songwriter had shown yesterday, at the New York Town Hall, that the princess she already was had become a queen. This crowning already appeared on her new record, but her live performance is definitely the best sign of it. Feist’s new kingdom is safer, more mature but equally poetic. As a Lewis Carroll novel, the world she created on stage during two hours (!) was full of unexpected and charming surprises. Yesterday, there were ghostly and sexy tap-dancers, smiling teenager choir, and Grizzly Bears in this dark theatre… Whether she is in New York, Toronto or Paris, it seems that Leslie has finally found her own wonderland...
