The best singer ever. Such a beautiful voice, it has the power to mend the most shattered of broken hearts. Regina sings about life, and her characters. Her
music isn't limited to her own experiences, and her own life, but rather like a
true poet, Regina the poet and Regina's characters are *not* one in the same.
Regina Spektor takes extremely depressing topics and sings them in upbeat and quirky tones. An example being "Dance Anthem of the 80's" Regina sings about an adolescent girl whose life has been consumed by sex, to the point where it is all she really knows. Another example is "Chemo Limo" which has a chorus sung so fast it doesn't even sound like English anymore, yet the song is about a
mother who has been diagnosed with cancer. Regina's upbeat tone in these songs emphasizes grief in what they'
re about.
All in all, Regina Spektor is amazing. She is a fine artist, and in my
opinion, the best artist that has ever made
music in the alternative genre, and-- also in my
opinion-- in any genre.
