Feist joins host Raina Douris

In every artist’s career, there are a few songs that stand out. A song that changed everything for them; that was a challenge to write; or that they grew to love over time. For our new feature Backtracking, we are asking artists to look through their catalog and pick some of the songs that mean the most to them. On the next World Cafe, Canadian songwriter Feist joins us to talk about – and perform – some of the songs that played a special role in her life and her career.

Listen to the session here.
