An alumna of New York's anti-folk scene, songwriter Regina Spektor makes quirky, highly eclectic, but always personal music. A classically trained pianist with a vocal delivery that's often warm and punky at once, her music has traversed the spare, self-recorded Songs (2002); the idiosyncratic adult alternative pop of her Top 20 breakthrough Begin to Hope (2006); and the at-times-fully orchestrated Remember Us to Life (2016).
