And whether it was by bus or car, KCRW Berkeley Studio Sessions was filled with people to hear Regina. Playful and fun, but also deep and dreamy, her intimate concert warmed the studio.

Her music is the tribute to Russian folk singers as also to blues and jazz inspirations. Her unique arrangements leave room for unpredictable exhibitions. However, there is nothing more singular than her remarkable voice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/delightfull.eu\/blog\/2012\/08\/from-russia-with-love\/regina-2-4\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1504\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1504\" title=\"regina spektor\" src=\"http:\/\/delightfull.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/regina-21.png\" alt=\"regina spektor\" width=\"510\" height=\"490\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.delightfull.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/regina-21.png 510w, https:\/\/www.delightfull.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/regina-21-416x400.png 416w, https:\/\/www.delightfull.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/regina-21-300x288.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Intense feelings are reflected in her voice<\/em><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/delightfull.eu\/blog\/2012\/08\/from-russia-with-love\/regina-ja\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1510\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-1510\" title=\"regina ja\" src=\"http:\/\/delightfull.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/regina-ja.jpg\" alt=\"regina spektor\" width=\"510\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.delightfull.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/regina-ja.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.delightfull.eu\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/regina-ja-300x201.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 510px) 100vw, 510px\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u00a0Regina Spektor playing piano<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">See <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DeTh3JbXZqY\" title=\"\">here<\/a>\u00a0a video from Regina\u2019s street sessions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>She is between blues, anti-folk and indie rock.
