Regina Spektor - 'All The Rowboats'
Regina Spektor Tickets

A vintage Spektor confessional

Video: Regina Spektor - 'All The Rowboats'

Album Info

  • Release Date: March 1, 2012
  • Producer: Mike Elizondo
  • Label: Sire Records
  • Fact: Spektor emigrated from the USSR to the USA when she was 9. As such, she is fluent in Russian, and can read Hebrew.

Hooray Regina Spektor’s back! Though ‘All The Rowboats’ opens and closes with an electronic segment, fans fear not - the track is Spektor-by-numbers. Still singing with her trademark Bronx drawl, with crescendo piano figures ‘All the Rowboats’ is vintage Regina. Those with keen ears will note that Spektor has been performing the track live since at least 2005. In early live recordings, Spektor even tries to emulate a drum machine sound with her microphone. Luckily producer Mike Elizondo (Fiona Apple, Dr Dre) managed to splash out on an actual machine for the recording.
