Feist has shared the first new material in six years.
‘Pleasure‘ is the first single taken from her eponymous forthcoming album.
The singer-songwriter – full name Leslie Feist – announced the album, earlier this week. The full-length will be released through Universal Records on Friday 28th April.
After details about the album leaked and appeared on Wikipedia earlier this week, Feist took to Twitter to make the release official.
“So here’s what I can tell you,” she wrote. “I made this record last winter with 2 of my closest friends, Mocky and Renaud LeTang. I was raw and so were the takes. Our desire was to record that state without guile or go-to’s and to pin the songs down with conviction and our straight up human bodies.”
She continued: “I titled the album Pleasure like I was planting a seed or prophecising some brightness. The experience of pleasure is mild or deep, sometimes temporal, sometimes a sort of low grade lasting, usually a motivator. If the way you look at things is how they look then my motivation is to look with a brighter eye.”
“So there it is, in a nutshell,” she concluded. “I’m grateful for your curiosity, the music is en route. Best and soon, Leslie.”
She also shared the album’s cover art.
Much to my surprise, I woke up this morning to see the word is out for
