A true innovator in musique. From songs based on scenarios and characters drawn from her imagination, Regina Spektor’s tunes show influences from folk,punk, rock, Russian, pop, jazz, and classical music. Spektor has been quoted saying that, “she works hard to ensure that each of her songs has its own musical style, rather than trying to develop a distinctive style for her music as a whole.” Along with broad vocal range and lyrics equally eclectic, her tunes often take the form of abstract narratives or first-person character studies, similar to short stories put to song.
Regina Ilyinichna Spektor was born February 18, 1980. She’s a Soviet-born New York raised singer-songwriter and pianist. I first saw Spektor’s first nationwide tour accompanying The Strokes as the opening act on their 2003–2004 ‘Room on Fire tour’. Ever since that night, I’ve seen Regina on a total of 8 different occasions. I adore her and her originality and her passion for constantly marching to the beat of her own drum. She is one of my all-time favorite singer-songwriter-pianist and today kiddas, lets take a moment to reflect and listen to all that’s good in musique.
