Expectations are high for Regina Spektor's return to the UK, following tours with The Strokes and Kings Of Leon.
New album Begin to Hope manages to be more accessible than her previous output. She's courted comparisons to Fiona Apple but makes a conscious effort to avoid repeating herself.
"I don't have an overall sound," she says. "I think of each song as its own little world."
Born in Russia, Spektor's first exposure to pop music came via illegal bootlegs. She trained as a pianist, absorbing the works of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev, and later emigrated to the Bronx.
It was in New York that she made her name as a singer and pianist.
"I always wanted to play classical concerts," she says. "And now I do that, except instead of playing the compositions of Chopin and Mozart, I play my own."
