Far East Movement and Feist deliver haunting song with Little Bird

October 22nd, 2012

Far East Movement show introspection and sensitivity with the difficult subject matter of drug addiction in their latest single Little Bird. Sampling Canadian songstress Feist’s track Caught A Long Wind, the pairing of the two artists is a huge success, delivering a haunting overtone that stays with the listener long after the song has ended.

Rapping “Nothing is what it seems/ Baby girl is just a fiend / When she comes down it was all a dream”, Far East Movement front man Kev Nish told Earmilk that working on a song so different from the typical FEM sound was ‘amazing’. Said Nish,”[It] was amazing to do something outside the box with producer Cherry Cherry Boom Boom and get a chance to go deeper into our song writing.”

In the music video, Nish plays a man whose torn between loving his girlfriend and leaving her because of her addiction to prescription pills. With gritty visuals showing a contrast between the happy times of sobriety and the lows of drug use, Little Bird is a stunning musical and visual accomplishment from the Bass Down Low pioneers.
