The lovely and talented Regina Spektor is taking on a fantastic new endeavor!

The singer/songwriter is set to collaborate with playwright/director Tina Landau and lyricist Michael Korie on a new musical entitled Beauty.

Beauty is described as using "the 1812 Grimm fairy tale Sleeping Beauty as a jumping off point for a contemporary and hauntingly provocative story of beauty lost and beauty found."

With Regina attached to the project, we're sure it's going to be amazeballs!

Beauty is being aimed at Broadway for the 2011-2012 season, after an out-of-town run.

Exciting!

Very very exciting news!

The phenomenally talented Regina Spektor has announced that she is dropping her new album upon us, and it's coming out SOON!

The new album is called Far and it's set for a June 23rd release.

We can't wait to hear what the new album sounds like! Spektor worked with four very different producers on the project: Jeff Lynne (ELO, The Traveling Wilburys), Mike Elizondo (Dr. Dre, Eminem), David Kahne (Paul McCartney, The Strokes) and Garret "Jacknife" Lee (Weezer, REM).

Regina will tour the world beginning in June.

Dates to be announced soon!

A bit ago, we requested that the PS22 Chorus in Staten Island do a song from one of our faves, Regina Spektor.

Well, they've just done it - and they've done such a good job!!!!

CLICK HERE to check out their version of The Call, Regina's song from the Prince Caspian soundtrack.

Disney made the very wise choice to pick the amazingly talented Regina Spektor to sing the theme song for their new Narnia film.

The result????

So pretty! Just how we like it!

The Call is the name of the tune.

Enjoy it below!

The fabulous Regina Spektor was rushed to the emergency room on Wednesday.

Just hours before a show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, the Fidelity singer collapsed.

The show had to be cancelled ten minutes after she was supposed to take to the stage.

No word on what was ailing our quirky Russian or if this will affect any other shows.

Get well soon, Regina!

Update: This just in!

"Regina Spektor is feeling much better after last night's hospitalization in Nashville, TN. To ensure full recovery, Regina will postpone tonight's show at The Tabernacle in Atlanta, GA to December 5th. All tickets will be honored or refunded. The rest of her North American tour will continue as planned beginning tomorrow, November 16th, in Norfolk, VA."
