Regina Spektor shares new song ‘Loveology’ and announces new tour dates
Regina Spektor has released ‘Loveology’, another preview for her forthcoming album Home, Before And After, which lands later this month.
The Russian-American singer debuted the track live on a handful of occasions in 2019, including her appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers ahead of her Broadway residency. The track has now been given its due attention in the studio and has been dropped along with the announcement of tour dates in support of the upcoming album.
The single comes with a powerful stripped back piano intro as Spektor sings, “Oh an incurable humanist you are”. The intensity then builds with an orchestral string arrangement before the drums kick in for the soaring chorus break, which returns as the sentimental ballad ebbs and flows.
“With ‘Loveology,’ I wrote it and then played it once or twice live,” Spektor said in a statement. “Sometimes I’ll have a song that I’m really glad exists, but I can’t record it because every time I try, it just doesn’t feel right coming out of my mouth. But for whatever reason, both ‘Loveology’ and ‘Raindrops’ felt so right this time, and I’m so glad I was finally able to put them on a record.”
Home, Before And After arrives on June 24th and will mark Spektor’s first studio LP since 2016’s Remember Us To Life.
Along with ‘Loveology’, Spektor has also announced additional North American tour dates. The new October leg will see her stop in Toronto, Atlanta, Los Angeles, among other exciting destinations.
