Begin to Love

By Stevanilla  Nov 10, 2006

Pros: Hotel Song, Better, Fidelity, Apres Moi, 20 Years of Snow

Cons: ...just listen and you won't be disappointed

Regina Spektor is someone who constantly amazes who deliberately reaches for the unpredictable. Unlike Fiona Apple (whom she is frequently compared to vocally), Tori Amos or any of the other undefinable women of her league Regina never sticks to a pa...rticular sound or style. Her signature can be found in the fact that she could care less for the usual ways that the women of her genre proceed to express themselves. Each song sounds like someone else and from start to finish you will happily drown in the waters she musically drags you through. She will make the piano dance for you, she will break your heart, she will bring you joy and humor and by the finish of the album you will want to hear it all over again. Begin to Hope is a roller coaster of emotions and feelings. With vocal stylings that go from hurt, soft and tender to a dark rage that edges the concepts of sanity. Songs I would recommend downloading for a test-drive include: Better, Fidelity, Samson, Fields Below, Apres Moi, 20 Years of Snow, Summer in the City. Read more Less
