My latest find is Regina Spektor singing “Fidelity”.
When I first heard it, I thought it was Bjork. But, no, I figured after a minute, not weird enough. I like the use of pizzicato in a pop song, and the arranger realizes that string players always want to rush the pizzicato, so it’s written to sound as if it’s rushing.
And I like strange vocal things she does on the chorus, trying to make her voice sound like it is also plunking while yodeling.
kendall likes her. i have that song on itunes. i think i did give a copy to your wife! did you know she is russian?
