On Soviet Kitsch, that melodrama is leveled out to draw the listener in first. Regina Spektor plays the piano and somehow, that always seems to involve a bit of the melodrama, at least in popular music. Earnest enough to have recorded a CD that is, despite some annoying overindulgences, quite confident and even beautiful. Earnest enough to appeal to a broad spectrum of people. Instead, perhaps due to her young age (mid-20s, albeit old by manufactured-band standards) and/or background (born and lived in Russia until nine, then moved to the Bronx), she sounds simply earnest. The combination of these disparate possible audiences could be a negative quality, as if the artist had spread herself too thin. All of these could, and should, apply to Ms. She could sell her hip sensitive wares to the hyper-cool Strokes audience (whom she opened for), steal the critics’ accolades away from Nellie McKay, and then become the purchase for young-ish professionals looking for somewhat edgy dinner music to play as the discussion turns to the latest Wes Anderson film.

This would seem to be a good time for Regina Spektor to be around. It sounds like a cabaret show if cabaret were invented in the 21st century by intelligent, sarcastic adolescents who not only stole their parents’ Philip Glass and David Bowie records, but then listened to them while flipping through nudie magazines found in an older brother’s room, trying to waste their days away until they grew up and could actually do something. It offers sage truths and then dumps a juvenile clunker on your head.

It veers in one direction only to turn around and go in the other. This is a record that is nothing if not messily human. Not much could be more appropriate than this. No.Regina Spektor’s Soviet Kitsch begins with the sound of a heartbeat.

However after awhile you begin to appereciate the humorous sounding parts because they are a lot more serious than first realized.Ĭarbon Monoxide, Us, and Chemo Limos, and The Ghost., are the best tracks in my opinon. It might sound like a more random/joking style album. The fact is this album is phenomenal and makes every second of its 39 minute run time count.ĭoesnt' hit immediately as being amazing, but after a few listens, you really get into it.
REGINA SPEKTOR SOVIET KITSCH RAR MOVIE
Especially after watching the movie "(500) Days of Summer." Other standouts include Ghost of Corporate Future and Ode to Divorce. The piano line in the song Us is one of my favorites of all time and it can almost bring me to tears. While her lyrics are all over the map her piano playing is wildly addicting and it adds another dimension to her music. It's not generic and listening to it I can tell Regina had a fun time writing and making this beautiful music. I think that's what makes this album work so well. Her lyrics don't really make a lot of sense most of the time and it seems like she just wrote about a bunch of words down and threw them together into song.

Especially in her album, which is also her undisputed masterpiece, "Soviet Kitsch". Regina Spektor seems like a pretty cool chick and I think it shows a lot in her music. For me this record is excellent but it is without a legitimate comparison. Spektor plays music on the piano, but she writes her music for the soul. Spektor is beyond pale in the tracks listed, but she stumbles elsewhere on this album, which may adversely affect some listener's interpretations of this album. Regina Spektor is one of the few artists that truly inspires - whether it be inspiration for hope (as in "Chemo Limo") or love (as in "Us"). "life ain't kitsch but a phat Regina" - king Vendrick Lamar I don't know why make me happy, for you sing about a lot of sad stuff.
