Regina Spektor 11 11 Rar
.ONLY AVAILABLE ON iTUNES.Regina Spektor is a New York based singer/ songwriter/ pianist. Born in Moscow, USSR, she has been described as a 'monkey'.
She has also been described as 'a girl'. And also 'ummmmmmmm'.The CD 11:11 is full of pop, jazz, and blues influences.Recorded by Richie Castellano, with Chris Kuffner on bass.Regina performs in many small NYC venues. Mostly in the East Village, in the Anti Folk world. She is a regular in places like The Livingroom (Allen St.) and Sidewalk Cafe(6th St. Please note: by underdeveloped I do not mean underproduced.
And if I do, it's entirely in the best way possible. Underproduction is the only thing that makes a song on the radio stand out in these times (as if any of these songs would ever be found on a radio. Please also note that as of now I am listening to this cd for the third time, so my opinion is just that and first impressions.By underdeveloped I mean it seems as if Regina sat down in the studio one day with maybe two or three other people (sound engineers etc included, as there's only one other musician on the CD) and played these twelve songs and out popped an album exactly as it chanced to happen that day. While this certainly does have its intrigue, I think the album would be better off with a little thought, rearrangement, extra touches. I personally think Braille would make a much better ending than Sunshine.On the other hand, the ability to play music basically solo is flooringly impressive, and of course, you could rearrange the songs however you like and burn a shiny new CD for yourself.
In the end, my quibbles are extremely minor and I think this CD is going to have a place in my collection for as long as I can forsee.Rick11:11 makes you want to hear her play it live. Everytime I hear regina I lose my head. She's the kind of songwriter whose songs invade places in you that you never think about, by choice or by instinct. Her melodies are masterful, and she is a very inventive pianist with leanings toward a refreshing simplicity, her vocal percussion is pretty much inimitable, and she is a very modest and endearing performer.
I can't listen to her too often because her music is so intimate, but this cd is an important one. Regina is a strange genius.I'm really excited about her new cd, due out sometime this summer (?), which is bound to have songs like 'Sampson,' 'yo girl don't make me take off my belt,' 'Lachrymosa,' and 'Hans Christian Anderson.'
