BLUE LIPS
Taking Blue Lips for a test run. Will post a few thoughts a bit later today once it sinks in a bit. Post what you think if you've heard it.
While listening to Blue Lips produced by Jeff Lynne for Regina Spektor again I am struck once more by how Jeff can take sound elements and strategically put them in places you wouldn't expect. Sometimes you have to listen a few times to find them too.
Example: Halfway through a verse he uses echo to accent Regina's voice in the line "The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe and no one saw and no one heard". It comes right after the word "heard."
The bass is also a hallmark too and swirls around Regina's piano and Jeff's Hammond organ.
Nice song. I think the production is very reserved. You know... If JL would've completely cracked it out and made it sound like a spaceship had landed on Regina... Well.. I would've liked that too.

Very nice! Jeff's production is obvious, but it doesn't overwhelm the song.

The song is now up on her MySpace as well. I'm loving it!

Nice song and production. I wish this had been the lead single.
Does anyone hear the similarity between Regina's voice and Juliana Raye's?
