Feist will release Multitudes – the 11-time Juno Award-winning artist’s sixth full-length album and first release since 2017’s critically acclaimed Pleasure – on April 14 via Interscope Records. Multitudes took shape soon after the birth of Feist’s daughter and the sudden death of her father. Amid meditations on mortality, connection and the frenetic state of the human condition, Multitudes ultimately radiates an ineffable sense of hope.

She comments:

“The last few years were such a period of confrontation for me, and it feels like it was at least to some degree for everyone. We confronted ourselves as much as our relationships confronted us. It felt like our relational ecosystems were clearer than ever and so whatever was normally obscured- like a certain way of avoiding conflict or a certain way of talking around the subject- were all of a sudden thrust into the light. And in all that reassessment, the chance to find footing on healthier, more honest ground became possible, and the effort to maintain avoidance actually felt like it took more effort than just handing ourselves over to the truth.”

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, Feist will debut several of her new songs in a live performance tonight. Tune in to the mini-concert at 7:00 PM ET/7:00 PM PT right here.

The album’s first three singles, released simultaneously today as the Multitudes pre-order launched, hint at the album’s breadth. “Hiding Out In The Open” has the straightforward, open-hearted cadence of a campfire singalong. Feist’s hypnotically layered vocals sing in the round, reminding us “Love is not a thing you try to do/It wants to be the thing compelling you/To be you.” Listen to “Hiding Out In The Open” HERE.
