Description:

Regina Spektor discusses her fifth album, Far, detailing her collaboration with four notable producers — Jeff Lynne, David Kahne, Garrett "Jacknife" Lee, and Mike Elizondo — and how they pushed her to explore new creative territory, including experimenting with jamming and novel sounds like the vocoder. She shares insights into several tracks, such as the reflective single "Laughing With," the playful "The Calculation," and the story-driven "Human of the Year", emphasizing her instinctive songwriting process and penchant for blending fantasy with real-life inspiration. Spektor expresses gratitude for her growing mainstream success while maintaining her offbeat, introspective approach, which she believes is aptly represented by Far's thoughtful and experimental tone.
