Since listening to Radio 2, I have noticed that Terry Wogan has a talent in finding gifted female artists such as Katie Melua and Eva Cassidy. After hiring Samson, (Regina Spektor’s first single release,) I immediately had to go and by the album- “Begin To Hope.” The album is simply beautiful. I was overwhelmed with her voice and pure effortless perfection. The lyrics are fascinating. Being originally from Moscow, the slight accent makes her voice recognisable. “Fidelity”, “Better”, “Samson” and “On The Radio,” are the best on the album. Samson is outstanding and mesmerizing. I also loved “Summer In The City,” with witty, funny lyrics: “And the castrated ones stand in the corner smoking, they want to feel, the bulges in their pants start to rise, at the site of a beautiful woman they feel nothing but, anger, her skin makes them sick in the night nauseaous, nauseaous, nauseaous.” Which made me laugh. However I felt that “ That Time,” was abit repetive and seemed stupid, as if it was rushed and just put on the album for the sake of it. If you like artists such as Kate Bush, Bjork, or Tori Amos, then you will definatly enjoy Regina Spektor’s vocal style, with such a dynamic and beautiful ability to sing high notes and come right back down. A must have, timeless album. Buy it quickly before it becomes more expensive as I purchased it for little under £8.00.

Never heard of the lady, and I don't normally listen to Radio 2. Still, I'll keep me ears tuned. Rich

Advantages: A wonderful collection of songs and sounds that are so individual and so beautiful. Disadvantages: None that I can think of - only that I didn't know about her sooner!
