I was never really into Regina Spektor's music until I heard "Fidelity" from her latest album, Begin to Hope.

I think this is by far one of the best albums of 2006, and also one of the most unnoticed albums/artist of 2006.

If you don't know of Spektor, she has a very soothing and light voice, and her music has this charming coffee-house vibe that's a bit anti-pop while also being anti-folk. But it's her lyrics that I love. It's been a long time since I've found an artist that can so beautifully and simply articulate the feelings of love, being hurt, and happiness.

My personal favorites from Begin to Hope:

"Fidelity"
"Better"
"On the Radio"

I really like her song "US"
I like the mv too~

haha anywayy when i first heard her I thought she was a musical singer or something
but her voice is lovely~ it's unique

samson!

its a great album, and the best that i've gotten last year.

"i never loved nobody fully, always one foot on the ground."

I first discovered Regina's music when I was watching Vh1 one day. Her video for Fidelity was playing and I thought it was really weird and I changed the channel. When I was flipping through the channel later in the day, I was bored and watched a couple of videos and Fidelity was one of them. The song was catchy and the lyrics were great. I decided to check out her website and I listened to a few more of her songs from her older albums. I fell in love with her random and bizarre lyrics. I even checked on youtube to watch some of her live performances. Eventually, I saved up money and picked up her most recent album. My favorite songs are "samson", "music box", and "hotel song". Some of my other favorite songs of hers are "reading time with pickle", "the sailor song", and "poor little rich boy".

yay! i love regina spektor!!
she's awesome and unique too!
i just recently became a fan after i saw the mv of fidelity! it's such a cute song!!
and also better and on the radio are also my favorites!

im not a fan but i love fidelity ^^ the mv is so cute(:

I love Regina, her voice is beautiful

I saw her open up for The Strokes a few years back. I was weird though, because everyone looked confused while she was on stage.

That's an odd match up.

I always feel really bad for the artist who is fairly unknown and the opposite sex of the headlining band, especially if the featured group is predominantly male and the audience female.

The best match up for me, was when Brand New was opening for Dashboard. Two of my favorite artists...

my favorite song of hers is 'consequence of sound' and 'samson'. hands down! =]

I'd always heard about her, and everyone always recommended her to me, but for some reason, I never bothered to listen to her until recently.

I LOVE Regina Spektor. Her voice is awesome.

I really like the song Fidelity.
As a matter of fact, I'm listening to it right now.

woww... there's a Regina thread here too!
i really love her music. she's different from other female artists nowadays .. so unique!
my favourite tracks are on the radio .. 'we listened to it twice, cos the dj was asleep' (really cute term), samson and hotel song.

I love that album; there isn't a song on there that I don't like. My favorites are On The Radio, Samson, and Fidelity.

My sister looooves her, so I get to listen to her too, hah hah. I really like her voice, and LOVE some of her lyrics. I don't know the titles of her songs but there are a few really great ones.

My favorite song from her is "Love Affair." It's on her 2001 album though.

i saw her album out ins tores 2006, but i was too busy debating whether i should buy it or not. luckily i did. shes brilliant! i LOVe it!!!

<3 on the radio, samson, fidelity,

i love the song fidelity

My roommates got me into her last year. "On the Radio" gets stuck in my head ALL THE TIME.

-ginger

I have her album. I first heard "Samson" (ironically on, on NotFromThisPlanet's myspace) and really liked the song.

I didn't miss it lol
It's really really good, I got it as a gift and love "samson" and "on the radio"

Definitely one of the gems to come out of '06. I wouldn't exactly call her anti-folk tough. She's also quite well praised by the online music community. You shouldn't compare her popularity to the likes of Timberlake and other flavor of the day "boy bands" with pretty faces. These days, it seems that even a lump of dog shi.t is able to become a billboard charting musician. Sigh.

i think that regina spektor got much more famous due to her latest album, plus she was on numerous tv shows like grey's anatomy! however i looove her stuff from before, just the simple piano and her lovely vocals. there isn't must to think about when listening to her songs. i like the imaginative nature of her songs!!

if you ever get a chance to see her live, i would totally recommend it!

i juss saw her live! she was totally awesome!

better, fidelity and us are my absolute FAVES.
i got into her cuz my friend's a HUGEEE fan of hers~

Fidelity is absolutely mesmerizing, and on the radio is beautiful

I didn't miss it, I love listening to her!!

Ahh I love her <3
Wickeed album!
I love 'On the Radio'

Ms. Regina Spektor is darling.

"Us", "Samson", i pretty much a few of the songs i daydream to whilst on the freeway.

i prefer Soviet Kitsch to this new record. anyone else?

i guess i do too. chemo limo! (cheers to your brilliant wordplay.)

i have only listened to her song "on the radio" before but now i'm hooked! esp. that samson song, soo beautiful!

oh gosh.
her song, Samson...
is really addictive
