Choir! Choir! Choir! + Feist sing for Sinéad O'Connor - Nothing Compares 2U
Covers, are covers, some good and some downright terrible. But this is impeccable. Leslie Feist's time seems to be split between living in L.A and Toronto and there's a covert nature to her that you never hear about her unless she's ramping up for new music or a tour. I mean, she did did play a hometown gig in Toronto this past May, so good on her, but she seems content with motherhood to her daughter Tihui, and that's quite alright with me. So it is quite the treat to know of Feist's continued connection to Toronto and her contribution to the Sinead O'Connor tribute show on July 29, 2023 at The Opera House in Toronto - and done as a fundraiser for CAMH.
From the video details on Youtube:
"Upon hearing the tragic news of her passing, we worked quickly to present a night in Sinéad’s honour at Toronto’s Opera House. It sold out quickly. Forty-minutes before show time, our friend, Leslie Feist, texted us to say that she was on her way to join us to sing lead on Nothing Compares 2 U, a Prince-penned song that Sinéad made uniquely her own. What followed this sequence of events was nothing short of magical."
