Regina Spektor was classically trained and is well read. That essentially sums up why I love her. Her music blends beautiful arrangements with interesting lyrics that cannot be matched in today's world of music. Her piano playing is oddly haunting, and some of her songs could be mistaken for things meant to accompany silent films. She's kind of like a female Ben Folds--ridiculously talented at keys and always has a grin on her face. Her early work is more jazzy, but she constantly pushes the pedal with her songwriting, which is always innovative and fresh. I could listen to her forever.
She is based in NYC and is currently touring in support of her latest release, Far.
Here's the first track from her first album, 11:11
