The Reminder
album by Feist
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.
Following its release, it debuted on the US Billboard 200 at number 16, selling about 31,000 copies in its first week, and debuted at number 2 in Canada, selling just over 18,000 copies. The single "1234" charted on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Top 40. As of July 25, 2011, the album has sold 729,000 copies in the US. The Reminder was also the best-selling album of 2007 on the iTunes Store.
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.
Composition
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.
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.

Why this record matters
“The Reminder” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Reminder, album and Feist provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 25, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q182797. The first chronological checks are 2007, 1234, 2011 and 2008.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
