Interviews

The New York Times

August 15, 2004

Description:

Regina Spektor's journey from a nine-year-old immigrant from Moscow to a celebrated New York musician intertwines classical training, antifolk sensibilities, and diverse influences like the Beatles and Mozart. After impressing Strokes producer Gordon Raphael with her unconventional performances, she recorded Soviet Kitsch, an album blending intricate piano melodies, emotional storytelling, and playful wordplay. Her songs range from haunting ballads to quirky, genre-blurring pieces, earning her comparisons to Tori Amos and Björk while maintaining a distinct identity. With bold ambitions and an unapologetic drive, Spektor aspires to transcend genres and create timeless, boundary-defying music.
