Leslie Feist, who was catapulted to fame when her song ’1234′ was used on an iPod advert, has announced that she plans to take a break after she finishes touring in support of her latest album, ‘The Reminder’, next month.

She told the Canadian Press: “[My career] has become kind of large and it really began for me very, very small – like me alone in my bedroom with my four-track and a pair of headphones – and I just need to go back there for a while to get my bearings again and then know what to do next. I was reading this amazing article on soil and basically it just turns to dust if you don’t let it rest. All of sudden … I am this soil metaphor. I just need to let it rest for a minute”.

And if you’re hoping “a rest” means that she’ll be taking up her place in Broken Social Scene again, don’t bank on it. She continued: “I don’t really know how involved I feel [with Broken Social Scene] any more. So much time has passed … For me it’s not what it was. It’s not really as interesting for me as it once was. [It] would be like a reunion to be able to hang out with everyone – but I can do that around a kitchen table too”.
