Regina Spektor: Fidelity
A track of the day. Again. In the same year. Well, yes, for two reasons: the first being that for most of last Saturday to this Tuesday, that slightly irritating 14 note vocal hook (round about the chorus) worked its way through my brain until I called it ‘genius’, whereupon it moseyed off into a corner, sat on a beanbag and made peace signs at me. The second that, if you’ve only heard this on the TV or radio, you haven’t really heard it. You need to experience it loud, close up and intimate. The production on this is simply amazing – crystal clear vocals and the most embracing, warm wraparound strings and piano I’ve listened to for a very long time.
