Around this time, she opened for the band The Strokes - they collaborated on a song, " Modern Girls and Old-Fashioned Men" - followed by an opening stint for the Kings of Leon. Spektor eventually signed with Sire Records, now a subset of Warner Bros, in 2004, who re-released her third album, "Soviet Kitsch." Her next album, "Begin to Hope" (2006), would eventually go gold, with the single "Fidelity" turning into a breakout hit. She self-released her first three records, and slowly gained momentum in New York City's independent music scenes at the turn of the 21st century. As a lyricist, Spektor is at turns wise and silly and fantastical, drawing heavily from the storytelling tropes of folklore and literature. Her instrumentation today both references her classical music training and also goes experimental with synths, beatboxing, and unusual vocal techniques. Russian-born and New York-raised, Spektor lived in Moscow until she was nine, when her family fled Gorbachev-era Soviet Union for the Bronx.īoth of her parents are musicians, and she grew up playing the piano. Regina Spektor is back with another musically eccletic and lyrically thoughtful album, entitled "Remember Us To Life." It will be out Friday, September 30, following up the singer-songwriter's previous release four years ago, "What We Saw From the Cheap Seats."
