Imagine a female singer-songwriter pianist for The Strokes generation. Imagine Regina Spektor, who has not only opened for The Strokes but whose major label debut album, Soviet Kitsch, was co-produced by one of that band's producers. Imagine a driven, complex and endearing new artist with a sense of pop melody and clever songwriting, and with charisma to spare. Imagine no more.   [ read more ]

Regina Spektor's last album, 2004's Soviet Kitsch, garnered praise from Time, Rolling Stone, Spin, Vanity Fair, The New York Times and many others. But this Russian-born, Bronx-bred singer-songwriter-pianist, who emerged from the NYC cafi circuit, continues to expand her vision.

On Begin to Hope, Regina Spektor treads a delicate balance between her anti-folk past and her present home on Sire Records.
