Vinyl LP! Studio8's Female Voice of August 2009 Award Winner! 6th Studio Album!

Since emerging on the NYC café circuit in 2001, this Russian-born, Bronx-bred artist has been hailed as a truly special talent. With an uninhibited imagination and acute sense of detail both in music and words, Regina Spektor has gone from practicing on an out of tune piano in the basement of her local synagogue to hypnotizing small crowds in NYC's lower East Side to selling out venues like New York's Radio City Music Hall worldwide. Spektor released her latest album Far in 2009, to an overwhelming response from both fans and critics and it debuted at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. The New York Times raved Far was "[Spektor's] most ambitious work sonically and her storytelling is as elliptical as ever" while The UK Sunday Times agreed this was "her most accomplished, mystifying, eclectic and beautiful release to date. It doesn't just fly, it soars." Far was the follow up to Spektor's breakthrough album Begin To Hope which spent 5 weeks in a row at #1 on the Billboard new artists chart before moving to #20 on the Billboard Top 100 and selling 1 million copies worldwide (Gold or Platinum in 7 countries).

"Spiking piano-driven songs of heartbreak with comic turns of phrase, cartoon voices and beatboxing outbursts, Regina Spektor has become her generation's Joni Mitchell – a singer-songwriter who nail-guns emotional truths between wisecracks. Her latest, even tighter and more flamboyant than 2009's Far, may be her best." - Will Hermes, Rolling Stone

Now, Spektor returns with her sixth studio album, What We Saw From The Cheap Seats. "...[R]ecently written songs (such as 'Firewood') and older, previously unrecorded ones, including 'Open' and 'Patron Saint.' The surprisingly cheerful 'Don't Leave Me (Ne me quitte pas)' includes bubbly steel drum and happy horn blasts. 'All the Rowboats,' in turn, builds up tension with dramatic piano arpeggios and urgent beats." - iTunes

"Regina Spektor reunited with producer Mike Elizondo for What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, but his sleek-but-not-too-slick sound is the main thing this album has in common with its predecessor, Far. Songs such as lead single 'All the Rowboats' mark a return to the darkly witty territory of her earlier work, and it sounds especially welcome compared to the sugary territory Spektor explored on her last album. One constant in her work, however, is her seemingly effortless ability to juggle wit, emotion, and humor -- and Cheap Seats puts it on full display for her fans." - Rovi, starpulse.com
