Regina Spektor-#3 Billboard Debut, Performs On The Colbert Report Tonight, What We Saw from the Cheap Seats Out Now on Sire


RECENT APPEARANCES INCLUDE “LATE NIGHT WITH 
JIMMY FALLON,” “GOOD MORNING AMERICA,”
“LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN” AND NPR LIVE BROADCAST CONCERT

“Spektor’s first new studio album in three years, What We Saw From the Cheap Seats finds her scattering in several directions without losing sight of the sweet melodies that make her so accessible.”
—NPR All Songs Considered “First Listen”

“Regina Spektor has become her generation’s Joni Mitchell—a singer-songwriter who nail-guns emotional trusts between wisecracks.”—Rolling Stone

“From the opening moment of What We Saw from the Cheap Seats, Regina Spektor enchants.”—Associated Press

 “A set of beguiling originals abounding with hooks, humanity and endearing quirks.”—The Washington Post

“A singular songwriting voice that spans genres and personas with grace and apparent ease.”—NPR Music

What We Saw from the Cheap Seats showcases Spektor’s eccentricity, beautiful vocal range, and ability to always surprise, so sit back and let yourself be surprised by how good the cheap seats really are.”—Bust

“There’s not a weak track on the record, and there’s something arresting in each song, from the dramatic Thomas Dolby-style electronic drum sound at the start of  “All The Rowboats” to Spektor imitating a passing parade with her lips on “The Party.”—The Onion A.V. Club

“On “What We Saw From the Cheap Seats,” her fourth major-label studio set, Spektor uses the piano to anchor a succession of far-flung ditties, including the funky, suite-like “Small Town Moon,” the fuzzily percussive “All the Rowboats” and the deeply affecting white-soul ballad “How.”—The Los Angeles Times

Regina Spektor’s new album What We Saw From The Cheap Seats (Sire/Warner Bros. Records) debuted at #3 on The Billboard Album Chart. This evening, Spektor will make her first appearance on “The Colbert Report” and earlier this week she performed on “Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.”

On June 28, Spektor will cross the Atlantic for performances throughout Europe including a sold out show at Royal Albert Hall in London and her first concert in her native Russia.
