This album marked a vibrant return after a hiatus, showcasing her unique blend of whimsical storytelling and poignant reflections.

Interestingly, Spektor is often celebrated not only for her distinctive voice but also for her eclectic influences, drawing from classical music and jazz, which adds layers to her performance. This intimate setting at WFUV, known for spotlighting emerging and established artists alike, provided a fitting backdrop for this moment in her career.
