Feist has gone into more detail about the experience of dropping off a tour supporting Arcade Fire last year after frontman Win Butler was accused of sexual misconduct by five different people.The allegations, which Butler has strongly denied, surfaced just before Arcade Fire were about to embark on a UK and Ireland tour, but the band decided to proceed with the shows. Feist performed at the first show in Dublin as planned but committed to donating all proceeds earned from her merch sales to the local chapter of Women’s Aid. Later, however, she said she would be “claiming my responsibility and going home”.Now, Feist has spoken about the experience in a new interview.

Feist has released ‘Borrow Trouble’, the enchanting new single taken from her upcoming album, ‘Multitudes’. Check it out below.The song marks the fourth single to be taken from the Canadian singer-songwriter’s upcoming sixth studio album, and was written as a way to reflect explore the pursuit of idealism.“[The song] began as a contemplative acoustic morality tale and shape shifted itself into the sound of trouble itself,” she explained.

Feist has announced her sixth studio album, ‘Multitudes’, alongside the release of three lead singles: ‘Hiding Out In The Open’, ‘In Lightning’ and ‘Love Who We Are Meant To’.The album itself, spanning a total of 12 songs, will be released on April 27 via Interscope. It arrives six years after its predecessor, 2017’s ‘Pleasure’, which too ended a six-year gap between releases.Have a look at the accompanying music video for ‘Hiding Out In The Open’ – as well as the visualisers for ‘In Lightning’ and ‘Love Who We Are Meant To’ – below, then see the cover art and tracklisting for ‘Multitudes’ (pre-orders for which can be found here).1. ‘In Lightning’ 2. ‘Forever Before’ 3. ‘Love Who We Are Meant To’ 4. ‘Hiding Out In The Open’ 5. ‘The Redwing’ 6. ‘I Took All Of My Rings Off’ 7. ‘Of Womankind’ 8. ‘Become The Earth’ 9. ‘Borrow Trouble’ 10. ‘Martyr Moves’ 11. ‘Calling All The Gods’ 12. ‘Song For Sad Friends’In a press statement, Feist explained that ‘Multitudes’ was written in the wake of both her daughter’s birth and father’s death, which happened within a short amount of time of one another.“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,” she said.

Feist will no longer perform on the remaining dates of her tour with Arcade Fire. The singer announced her cancellations on Thursday (September 1), two days after the beginning of the tour was rocked by allegations of sexual misconduct levied against Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler. Butler has denied the allegations and a source close to the band has said the tour would continue.
