Regina Spektor is known for her album Songs, which was self-released in 2002. She recorded 12 tracks from a selection of 40 songs on Christmas Day in 2001 to remember them. At the time, she was an emerging anti-folk artist with bright, narrative lyrics and solo piano accompaniments. She sold the album for $10 out of her backpack after shows. After impressing a music producer at a gig, she opened for The Strokes and signed with Sire Records. Songs will be re-released on vinyl and streaming platforms for the first time on November 29. Spektor will perform the album live at sold-out shows in Brooklyn on December 8, 9, and 10. The album has sentimental value to fans who have held onto the songs in their hearts for years.
