Pros: a unique, successful blend of many vastly varying musical styles Cons: a little too eclectic and quirky for everyone's tastes
Don't you think it's a little pretentious when an musician starts to rattle off about their influences? No one seems content to play it humble. Guitar players, for example, may toss out Jimmy Hendrix, Eric Clapton, or Stevie Ray Vaughan, as if they're ...
Pros: Alternately catchy and complex piano-pop with idiosyncratic performances. Cons: "Better" is a poppy throwaway; a few moments require multiple listens to sink in.
After two independently released albums and a third solo effort that spurred her signing to a major label, the wonderfully idiosyncratic singer-songwriter Regina Spektor was able to utilise a greater amount of studio wizardry for her fourth disc, ...
Pros: Still an above average effort, quirky and catchy pop, some stunning standouts. Cons: Some songs fall flat. Arguably less interesting than Soviet Kitsch.
In spite of its rough, shrill, and self-consciously quirky moments, Regina Spektor's Soviet Kitsch grew to be one of my favorite albums released last year. The press on her new release Begin to Hope had indicated that she would be going in ...

Pros: Quirky, intimate, clever, enthralling, fantastic. Cons: If we don't watch ourselves this may get overdone.
Over the course of the last several months, Regina Spektor has been passed around like gossip– too good and juicy to keep to yourself, but too special to be blabbed to the whole world. Well, with "Fidelity" hitting the airwaves and the media loop at ...
Pros: * Original style
* Music is uplifting in a quirky way
Cons: Style and lyrics may be a little too weird for some
So Strange, Yet Compelling I can’t remember where I first heard Regina Spektor, but when I first heard the song “Fidelity” from her CD Begin to Hope, I knew I wanted to hear more. Most of the lyrics, as in the first track, ...
I was driving around with a friend, and she put the Regina Spektor CD on. I fell in love with it right then and there, and decided to go out and buy it. I've always listened to offbeat indie music, and this is no different. But this one is my absolute ...
Begin To Hope finds anti-folk chanteuse Regina Spektor taking a small step away from piano balladry into the brave new world of the pop song. And what...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
