The Music News Round Up! Tuesday, June 5, 2012

4. Filler magazine interviews Regina Spektor. The interview discusses her upcoming album and how Regina's grounded personality has given her fulfilling experiences that she sings about in the album. She also talks about her determinism and how she got her start in music and credits it all to living and learning in New York City. [Filler] [Regina Spektor via] Check out some memorable quotes from the interview below! “It plays into my very serious belief that people really need to love themselves and be really grateful for what they have. Our society is at odds with that concept, focused on telling you what you’re not.” ”I got really lucky because I had (what I didn’t realize was a rarity) parents who didn’t try to discourage me from writing songs my whole life; didn’t say things like ‘you’ll never make it’ and ‘what are you going to do as your real job?’ which were things that a lot of my friends had to face.” “I’m very worried about the future generation’s idea of privacy. I think that people are starting to lose sense of their self, and what is their internal world and what should be an external world.” “I am a natural over-thinker about everything… but what would I do if I didn’t have 70 million what-ifs in my head?” Check out her single "What We Saw From The Cheap Seats" below!
