I feel that many, if not most, of the albums that I have enjoyed from this year have most certainly been growers. There is only a short list (midget list perhaps) of albums that I have really dug on first listen. Regina Spektor's What We Saw From The Cheap Seats is the newest addition to that short list. I will admit that Spektor is often hit or miss to me, but this new album has absolutely floured me. Every song is just so incredibly catchy and inventive. Unlike the first single to be released from the album, "All The Rowboats," (a pretty dark track) this newest single paints an unbelievably happy picture (I think of running through a sea of daffodils... too much..... yeah). If the unbelievably catchy synth intro doesn't get you (anyone else hear the Vampire Weekend influence there??), the end of the song, in which Spektor belts out "I Love Paris In The Rain," will most certainly make you love this song. SO CATHCY!!
