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 café circuit, continues to expand her vision. On Begin To Hope, produced by David Kahne (The Strokes, Sublime, Sugar Ray), she broadens here palette with electric guitar, drum machines and seductive electronic loops, finding new canvases for her provocative vocal style. Hope for pop has arrived with Regina Spektor.

Summary: One of my favorite albums
Comment: Begin to Hope has quickly become one of my favorite albums. I love Regina's quirky vocal styles and her lyrics that add depth and poetry. The album starts on a high note of "Fidelity" and continues in smooth transitions and whimsical fashion. Of course, I'm sure the whimsy is more calculated than it comes off as, but Regina is very talented and talent always makes it seem easy. The ever-expanding beats of "On the Radio" make it my favorite on this album.

Summary: Unique !!!!
Comment: There are so many singer-songwriters on the scene today; unfortunately,too often they sound the same. What is beautiful about Regina Spektor is that she is not afraid to create her very own brand of music or I should say brands of music, as each track adds another creative feature to her style. Adventurous and a risk taker I put her in the class of my other favorites-stand outs like Ani Di franco, Fiona Apple and a new singer-songwriter Arrica Rose in her latest album La La Lost -a little more stripped down but up there with the best of them.

Summary: Love this!
Comment: This is a great CD. I love Regina's voice and the creative ways in which she uses it. The songs show she listens to all sorts of music. some songs are very jazzy and maybe even a touch of electronica on songs such as "Edit."

Summary: She's, ummm, different, but...
Comment: I love a good album to sing along with loudly and without a whole lot of effort (for car trips, especially.) This one fits the bill. Also, love the more upbeat tracks for working out. Try "Better" and "On the Radio" on the treadmill. I saw Regina live, and she was so darned cute, I wanted to put her in my purse and take her home. Highly recommended.
