In 2002, Regina Spektor was in the midst of a creative explosion. She found herself writing so many songs that she was unable to keep track of them. Her friend Joe Mendelson noticed she was forgetting some entirely, and offered to archive everything she had written that year.

After Regina recorded dozens of songs, one take each, they decided to pick twelve and make them into an album. And so, Songs was born. The record includes the original versions of Samson and Ne Me Quitte Pas , later re-recorded onBegin to HopeandWhat We Saw From The Cheap Seats, respectively.

These early recordings have now been expertly remastered by Bob Ludwig right in time for their 22nd birthday!
