In every musicians' career, there are the songs that stand out among the rest. Perhaps it's a song that changed everything for them, the song that they grew to love, or the song that was the hardest to write.
Those are the songs we want to learn more about on a new World Cafe feature called Backtracking. The premise is simple: We'll give artists a long list of prompts they can choose from. Then, they'll look back through their catalog and pick the song that fits best. They'll tell us the stories behind them and perform them live.
In our inaugural Backtracking session, we're excited to welcome Feist into the World Cafe studio. Still on the heels of her sixth studio album, Multitudes, the 14-time Juno Award-winning musician paid us a visit to share some stories of Multitude's making and special moments throughout her career.
