==Composition== |
|||
[[Pitchfork Media|Pitchfork]] revealed the track listing on February 8, 2007. |
|||
Track 6 of the album, "Sealion", is an adaptation of a song by singer [[Nina Simone]] (''[[Broadway-Blues-Ballads]]'', 1964). The original title was "See Line Woman" (a reference to [[Sea lion|sealion]]s was never intended), and refers to the life of an upper-class [[sex worker]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nina+simone/see+line+woman_20100568.html |title=See-Line Woman Lyrics - Nina Simone |publisher=Lyricsfreak.com |access-date=2012-08-08 |archive-date=August 1, 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120801000605/http://www.lyricsfreak.com/n/nina+simone/see+line+woman_20100568.html |url-status=live }}</ref> |

==Promotion== |
|||
''The Reminder'' was supported by four singles: "My Moon My Man", "1234", "I Feel It All", and "Honey Honey". The "My Moon My Man" single includes a remix by German electronic musician [[Boys Noize]]. Videos were directed by [[Patrick Daughters]], who also directed the video for "[[Mushaboom (single)|Mushaboom]]".<ref name="reutersrelease">{{cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/musicNews/idUSN0647312920070307|title=Indie singer Feist aims "lowbrow" with new album|publisher=Reuters|date=2007-03-07|access-date=2007-03-07|archive-date=February 10, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210210212454/https://www.reuters.com/article/musicNews/idUSN0647312920070307|url-status=live}}</ref> |

During September 2007, the song "1234" was featured in Apple's [[television advertisement]] for the third-generation [[iPod Nano]]. The advert caused a sudden increase in the song's popularity, which resulted in a surge in the song's chart position. It reached number 8 in the [[UK Singles Chart]] on October 7 and number 8 in the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] for the week ending October 13. The music video was shot in a single unbroken take after two days of rehearsals.<ref>The album achieved considerable success around the world, selling 1.2 million copies worldwide and being certified Gold in the United States, Austria and France and Double Platinum in Canada. |

The Reminder is the third studio album by the Canadian singer-songwriter Feist. It was released on April 23, 2007 in countries outside of North America, and May 1, 2007 in the United States and Canada.[2]
Following its release, it debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 16, selling about 31,000 copies in its first week,[3] and debuted at number 2 in Canada, selling just over 18,000 copies.[4] As of July 25, 2011, the album has sold 729,000 copies in the US.[5] The Reminder was also the best-selling album of 2007 on the iTunes Store.[6]
On November 25, 2008, a deluxe edition of the album was released as a two-disc package featuring nine bonus tracks on the second disc.[7][1]
Composition
[edit]Track 6 of the album, "Sealion", is an adaptation of a song by singer Nina Simone (Broadway-Blues-Ballads, 1964). The original title was "See Line Woman" (a reference to sealions was never intended), and refers to the life of an upper-class sex worker.[8]
Promotion
[edit]The Reminder was supported by four singles: "My Moon My Man", "1234", "I Feel It All", and "Honey Honey". The "My Moon My Man" single includes a remix by German electronic musician Boys Noize. Videos were directed by Patrick Daughters, who also directed the video for "Mushaboom".[9]
During September 2007, the song "1234" was featured in Apple's television advertisement for the third-generation iPod Nano. The advert caused a sudden increase in the song's popularity, which resulted in a surge in the song's chart position. It reached number 8 in the UK Singles Chart on October 7 and number 8 in the Billboard Hot 100 for the week ending October 13. The music video was shot in a single unbroken take after two days of rehearsals.[10]
eBay also used the song in Australian advertisements. Another single, "My Moon My Man", was used in a Verizon Wireless commercial.
