Regina is criminally underrated
Yup
Not by me
She got lucky in her career, only reason we know her at all. She came out with fidelity when I was a kid premiered on VH1 right before the internet took over. So luckily she made it just in time because none of us would know her.
Nah she’s my top 3

The stories that Regina tells in her music take me somewhere no other singer ever has.
That's a Russian soul for you )
So many singers fabricate a stylized voice to be distinctive. Regina sings with her unaffected authentic distinctive voice and she is all the more compelling for her honesty.
Regina is a fearless pioneer of music in my opinion, she just sings about anything and has fun doing it.
Her voice is far from unaffected. That’s just silly.
Well said. I totally agree
You must mean it's not processed through a computer
She's the voice for something we don't even know we have.
Ah, what a beautiful storyteller she is!

Thanks Shilpa! :)
Gifted, subtle and humble: Regina has the full pack.
A million standing ovations for Regina Spektor. This woman is fucking spectacular.
Rather, SPEKTaculOR.
The entire thing just blew me away. She's so kind and humble besides amazingly talented. I think she reflects what those important people in her life gave her.
Such a beautiful soul, she's the best.
I keep seeing, "This isn't the Old Regina I fell in love with. She's so commercial now. I miss her old anti-folk stuff." I think people are forgetting that Regina is on a Warner Bros label now, and while she still has creative control, things are gonna be a little different. I don't attribute this album's more straightforward songwriting style to her "selling out". Regina just got married, had a baby, and returned to the mothercountry she hadn't seen since she was young. Cut her some slack, don't judge so much, and just listen to what Regina is telling you. She still has some beautiful songs here, and really intriguing melodic and rhythmic moments within them. In 'Older and Taller' when she sings "Enjoy your youth/sounds like a threat" and claps like Old Regina did, really reminds me why I keep coming back. And "Trapper and the Furrier"? Pssh. What Old Regina? This IS Regina. "Remember Us to Life" is her most revealing, autobiographical album yet. Don't like it? Go listen to Pavlov's Daughter on a loop and shut up.
Thomas Reed could not agree more! 😍😍😍
Remember Us To LIfe is actually my favorite album of hers. It`s melancholic and hopeful. It`s sad and happy. It`s incredibly personal, displaying some her best songwriting, and the beautiful production suck me in to the "universe" of this album every time I play it. I could talk about Remember Us To Life all day haha.
In my opinion, Remember us to life is the most personal album that she has. It represents her career as an artist, and i think she is getting to the point. Unfortunately, not everyone like it, but is probably because she is not doing pop songs as she did in the last albums (a lot of people dislikes 11:11 too, and its so genuine). Far is an album of and inspired artist, this album is herself, as she is, u can disagree, but that is how she feels and its in the songs, she is not trying to show us the image of a popstar, she is a human being, thats why i love it and its probably my favourite. Obsolete is the key to understand this album, she was probably not being comfortable with the consequence of her songs and tried to do something different. And she made it.
The grand hotel and trapper and the furrier are very "controversial" lyricly speaking. In her songs it is always that: her beautiful voice kind of innocent in contrast with well written deep and sometimes pretty dark lyrics.
Like Dance anthem of the 80's which is a good example
Haha, You get it. Regina forever.
Dear Regina, I hear your roots in Stravinsky, Prokofiev and Shostakovich in your piano playing. Your vocal range is exceptional and your song writing is on a par with Lennon and McCartney, Joni Mitchel and Dylan and you are such a beautiful and Kooky Bronx Girl. I love you and your music. Steve.
Wow. That was about 20 minutes of music and a 30-minute interview.
I cared about every second of it. She has so much soul not only in her music, but in her words. Kudos to KEXP for showing both sides of artists who put so much into not only their work, but everything they do.
One of today's greats.
I love that line "listen to that song cause it hurts just right". That's exactly how I feel about her music.
I never skip a song while listening to this album, I think it would almost feel like skipping pages while reading a book... You don't get the full experience!! Regina inspires me so much
J. L. That’s a beautiful insight. Thanks!
Very well said
Totally agree all her albums take the listener on a journey. Spotify etc isn't good for this. She's a rarity in modern music. A real artist untouched by the marketing people
the interviewer has the crazy eyes of her #1 fan
When I think of a great artist I think of her. Her songwriting is so deep, rich and beautiful. Thanks KEXP for bringing her on.
I swear. Sometimes I can only watch/listen to small pieces of her performances. So much emotion is evoked.
She is so sweet and talented, beautiful and incredibly wise! Juat perfect
i'm so glad i've seen her live! incredible artist
Her piano is the main thing. So great to hear a major artist explain her roots, deep down in music. Beautiful. Respect.
Wow. Some sinister songs here. Some deep dark tunnels underneath this mind. Fascinating
Her music is an architecture of a time and place that feels oddly familiar even if it's about something in life I have yet to or never will experience.. There's always more to be uncovered in her choice of candid lyrics and her experimentation with sound. One day, I'd love to meet her since she's been such an inspiration for the choreography and art I have created over the years.
La suerte de vivir en la misma época que Regina ♥
corazon sangrante
Something about her sound triggers my nostalgia. When I her hear older songs it makes me miss the 2000’s like I miss the 90’s.
I'm right there with you.
Yuuuuuuuuuuup
The music goes without saying but to hear her speak and share her thoughts, truly enjoyable. 1st song I ever heard was 'Us'. Still love it and all her art since. Inspiring.
You know what I love about Regina aside from her raw musical talent?
Her dedication to a 1950s fashion style.
Not only in her dress style but more so in her hair style. I'm just guessing she hasn't changed her hair style in over 10 years.
Me too! It's like she should be at a dinner party in the movie "Carol"! Her look and sound is timeless, but also so very arty and chic 1950s. I love it!!
She reminds me of the famous photo of Anne Frank.
I'm not sure what I enjoy the most, listening to her music or just watching her in interviews
Regina is incredible as always. The interviewer is also cool and seems that he shares our adoration of Regina.
I love this interviewer for that reason. There's definitely a glimmer of adoration in his eyes when he interviews.
Still amazes me how anyone can play piano with their eyes closed.
Regina just amazes me period.
It's easy to play piano with your eyes closed. Your fingers are moving according to the spaces between the notes, after a while you just "feel" how to move your finger to where the next note has to be without looking. Pretty much the same as playing guitar with your eyes closed, I don't have any trouble doing that unless I've recently switched between a short scale and full scale guitar and my fingers have to re-learn the new fret spacing.
Bad Tux it's because she knows her music so well. ;) coz although Im trying to do it, I can't huhu.
You just HAVE to love her!
I could listen to her talk (and sing) for days! :)
loved it! the microphone,turn red from her red lips :)
not the first time :)
ouh yaa? cool :)
yeah #thatlipsticktho
how I wish the microphone were my face instead
I'm so glad Regina doesn't involve politics in her music. Yet I find it interesting that when the host tried to bait her she proceeded to talk about her family and childhood in Soviet Russia and how oppressive things are in Communist/Socialist countries, but at the same time says she was depressed after the US elections of 2016 after we elected a man who is the antithesis of Marxism and communist ideology. But I love how she expresses the need for individualism within the culture instead of the identity politics of grouping individuals together, as the Democrat party and communist regimes advocate for, based on various criteria such as race, religion, sexual orientation, etc. to divide people within a society to better control them in every aspect of their lives. Maybe one day she will put 2 and 2 together as she gives more thought to the political realm and world affairs and understand what really makes America the shining city on the hill where her parents left behind a world of fear and oppression and starvation of the once powerful, communist/socialist, and deadly soviet empire. Until then, I will continue to enjoy listening to my most favorite music artist in the world, Regina Spektor.
Thank you.
I love KEXP, and i love Regina. Can't even wait for this to start.
edit: OMG ITS A WHOLE HOUR, YES.
Exactly, I couldn't even believe my eyes when I saw Regina and KEXP in the sidebar, almost too good to be true
Never expected Regina to be on here. Still love her album soviet kitsch which is pretty old now. That is still clearly her strongest album but always nice to see more material. Much love.
Opomax I love her music
Opomax damn...that's considered old?
What am I missing on soviet kitsch? I've listened to it several times, but I still prefer far and begin to hope...maybe even remember us to life over soviet kitsch.
Everything that came before Live in London is pretty much perfect, but with WWSFTCS came what I call Regina Superband and, just like that, I couldn't enjoy it any longer. For me, Regina was always about her, the piano, and a good story being told. Somehow I didn't fell this with the new albums. This KEXP audition is what the new albums would sound like if done like the first ones, and I couldn't help but find it infinitely better.
Completely agree ,I thought it was only me !
everything she does is genius, which is why i have to look away, every single thing she does....it hurts....
God, I love her. I just had a baby and didn’t know anything about these new songs. I am sitting here nursing and in tears as my little one falls asleep and then to hear she just had a baby too. Of course it was so close right now. Perfect.
Reginius !!! Gorgeous personality just like her gorgeous songs.
I love her voice. It has a beautiful warm tone.
Absolutely love this interview, I often paraphrase-quote the Painting of the Sunshine monologue she gives here, around 25:30. I truly wish we could record music directly from our brains, there is a whole world of subconscious artistry behind every musical piece in existence.
Thank you Regina, for being the woman and musician you are. Always bringing us life with your voice and smile. :-)
I didn't realize it was possible to have goosebumps for a full 51 minutes.
Hearing her speak this way - I didn't know it would be so meaningful to me. Thank you.
I love this woman so much. Ever since I saw her perform on Conan way back in the Soviet Kitsch days. Such a beautiful voice and such a sweet, beautiful person.
This special singer.
As usual for me, I have only discovered Regina recently. What an amazing humble performer. If what we hear is only roughly in comparison to her "dream of it", then her imagined version must be a divine experience. Thanks Regina.
I have watched thin more times than I care to admit. What an amazing story.
Such a talented artist, yet so kind and human. I love this.
Thank you thank you thank you! :')
I came into this expecting a concert. Had no idea I was entering possibly Regina's best interview and proof that she's my favorite overall person currently living.
Regina is love
Beautiful woman. Her voice is so soothing :)
Regina sings bespoke stories so subtly that you listen to her infinitely
KEXP always kills it.
But goddamn......
Thank you.
im melting. Regina is the Light
Brilliant worth watching full segment
My heart melts listening to her speaking. Thank you Regina.
She's lovely! Gosh I'm so obsessed with them smiles and, of course, songs.
Thank you Regina and thank you KEXP for the meaningful talk!
Really amazing. One of my favourite singers and my favourite female singer. Live is even better!
I love her voice and the lyrics carries a lot of meaning
I loved this woman to death. Like duhhh she’s so talented and amazing especially when it’s live performance. 💕
I've become an instant fan after seeing this. Great musician, great writer.
She seems like she'll be a wonderful parent
I'm so excited. I've been looking for performances of the new album with good quality since I can't see her live in south africa
Amazingly excellent music and message. Regina Spektor is a force!
The music is sublime, the interview is amazing too. Thank you!
I missed 2017. Just hearing this now. Thank you Regina. I wish I was you.
such a beautiful and unique songwriter. awesome to see her on kexp!
She's broken my heart with her voice! I love your angel voice!
She is great!
Oh my god thank you guys, this is an amazing interview, very inspirational. Regina is such a precious person and artist.
No way i can thank you enough for sharing this, god bless you and yours!
She hits every sad part of me. Maybe I am a wreck but this does need to be addressed for those who are whole she is singing about and to. Thame suffering off life. I love everything she sings.
Awesome interview
wow this just made me so excited to come across. love her
After the 5th time it does not matter anymore the drooling of the interviewer. Regina is awesome and even better than in live London
Wonderful music but also wonderful interview! I learned so much about who she is as an artist. Thank you!
Wonderful interview by the way, it was great seeing Regina express herself verbally, thank you KEXP!!
Great interview - really good, original questions (and, of course, greats answers by Regina)
such talent and intellect. I pause to just listen and enjoy......fully.
How is it even possible to he so amazing? She's completely surreal
Thanks for this, it was awesome. Such a thoughtful, articulate, intelligent person. Years ago I saw Regina live when she came back to Purchase to perform while I was a student there. A dear friend of mine snagged us front row seats. To this day one of my all-time favorite shows, and I've been fortunate enough to see a lot of good shows and bands live. She was electric.
Great insight and she’s adorable as well as talented clever smart great interview sat back and let her performance and personality shine good job great entertainment.
This was awesome!! I missed hearing just Regina and her piano 😍
Everything about this
I'm doing my homework right now which consists of writing poems. I feel inspired.
Incredible! pure magic of the highest order!
OMG, my queen! Hands down!
The way she moves with the piano ❤️
she's cool
Wow.. great music. And very interesting interview.
Amazing interview!
The wedding ring broke my heart

She has been married for a few years..

She is what has inspired me all the way up to now
regina spektor is punk rock
Did any of the commenters here actually listen to the interview? What she said? The choice of words? How informed? How thoughtful? How articulate (in a second language too)? How profound, funny, generous and humble?
The interview alone is worth the time, several times over.
pvandck The entire thing just blew me away. She's so kind and humble besides amazingly talented. I think she reflects what those important people in her life gave her.
