Metals is the fourth album by Canadian singer Feist, released in 2011. Feist is a singer of pop music that is a mixture of folk and indie, with soft songs that vary between calm and agitated, but never too boring or aggressive. With the success of songs like 1234 and Gatekeeper, the vibrance and sunniness of her previous album has taken a turn to the dark side.The blues and jazz sounds that she experimented in the album made it sound a bit more mournful and obviously less sunny than its predecessors.  The first single off the new album How Come You Never Go There is a jazzy,sultry number reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, Joni Mitchell and Carly Simon, where you would imagine her wandering through the woods with long, understated hair. But despite the gloominess of this record, Feist still packs a punch in creating beautiful music,Her impressively soft yet haunting vocal is fantastic. Metals is by far one of the best albums of 2011.
