详细介绍:
Listening to Regina Spektor%27s music is like having a one-on-one conversation with someone who not only knows her own mind but is constantly reexamining her feelings while connecting with larger overarching truths through the smallest, most intimate details of everyday life. Six years have passed since Spektor%27s last album, and given that she was also pregnant while recording this new one, it was almost a sure thing that her pandemic album was going to be a powerful ringer. Even measured against her previous catalog of uniformly appealing, inventive albums, Home, before and after is bursting with creative energies. Opening with alternating notes on piano, Loveology is Spektor at her playful, melodic best. The same holds true for the rhythmic echo pop of SugarMan where she coos the wonderful second couplet: I%27m not your doll/ I%27m not your pet/ But I%27m not my own/ Ever since we met. The Bronx, New York-raised Spektor salutes her hometown in the album%27s first single, Becoming All Alone, which settles into an engaging mid-tempo groove, swinging between unadorned piano and voice and sweeping string/horn/synth orchestrations with backing vocals from her husband Jack Dishel. The urgent Up the Mountain gallops along over undulating strings, slowing near the middle, before revealing the key verse: On the mountain there%27s a forest/ In the forest there%27s a garden/ In the garden there%27s a flower/ In the flower there%27s a nectar/ In the nectar there%27s an answer /In that answer there%27s another. Three lines in Raindrops sum up her powers of observation: Round each corner there%27s a chance/ People searching glance to glance/ Moving about real fast like insects and fish when they%27re scared. It%27s clear that Spektor%27s songwriting has been super-charged in the years since her last record, nowhere more evident than in the 8-minute plus mini-symphony-opera-performance piece, Spacetime Fairytale. Backed by a lush, momentous orchestral arrangement from Jherek Bischoff, Spektor plays piano and sings that while there%27s no such thing as time This world began outside of time/ Some days it%27s yours, some days it%27s mine/ Some days it%27s cruel, some days it%27s kind/ It just can%27t stay the same. Before a percussive tap dance interlude by Caleb Teicher, she returns to a more intimate reflection on time, My mind is full of melodies/ They search for homes inside of me/ Like begging, pleading refugees/ But I can%27t find the time. Producer John Congleton, who is making a specialty of working with talented female singer-songwriters (Angel Olsen, Sharon Van Etten, St. Vincent), adds structure, tempos and a weighty synth presence to everything. He also functions as the band playing bass, synths, keyboards, drums, percussion, and drum programming. With Congleton and Ariel Shafir engineering, the album has a spacious feel while retaining Spektor%27s sonic signature of a close-miked voice. String and horn arrangements, played by FAME%27S Skopje Studio Orchestra, are handled by the hugely talented Bischoff, who has written commissions for Kronos Quartet as well as original compositions for film, TV, and the stage. Distinct and original, carefully groomed and sonically precise, Home, before and after is Regina Spektor at the very top of her game. © Robert Baird/Qobuz
