Imagine Regina Spektor,who has not only opened for The Strokes but whose major label debut album, Soviet Kitsch, was co-produced by one of that band's producers (Gordon Raphael).Imagine a driven, complex and endearing new artist with a sense of pop melody and clever songwriting,and with charisma to spare. Imagine no more.
Regina Spektor’s last album, 2004’s Soviet Kitsch, garnered praise from Time, Rolling Stone, Spin, Vanity Fair, The New York Times and many others. But this Russian-born, Bronx-bred singer-songwriter-pianist, who emerged from the NYC café circuit, continues to expand her vision. On Begin To Hope, produced by David Kahne (The Strokes, Sublime, Sugar Ray), she broadens here palette with electric guitar, drum machines and seductive electronic loops, finding new canvases for her provocative vocal style. Hope for pop has arrived with Regina Spektor.
