Our Take

Regina Spektor's latest offering, "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats," is a delightful mix of whimsical melodies and introspective lyrics. Spektor's signature piano-driven sound is in full force on this album, providing the perfect backdrop for her unique vocals to shine.

From the opening track "Small Town Moon," Spektor sets the tone for the album with her catchy hooks and clever wordplay. Tracks like "Don't Leave Me (Ne Me Quitte Pas)" showcase Spektor's ability to seamlessly blend multiple languages into her songs, adding an extra layer of complexity to her already rich sound.

One of the standout tracks on the album is "All the Rowboats," a haunting ballad that explores the themes of art and captivity. Spektor's poignant lyrics and haunting vocal delivery make this track a true standout.

Overall, "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" is a solid addition to Regina Spektor's discography. While it may not reinvent the wheel, it is a testament to Spektor's talent as a songwriter and performer. Fans of Spektor's previous work will undoubtedly find much to love on this latest release. So grab your cheap seats and enjoy the ride.
