Regina Spektor – Laughing With

Click on the turntable on the left to listen to a continuous stream of music featured on Pretty Much Amazing - updated every day. For more, you can check out the Best Songs of 2012.


has recently announced her new album (Far), as well as a tracklist and a cover for said album. But now we have our first taste of the new Regina Spektor on hand and it’s called “Laughing With.”

The song opens up with “No one laughs at God at a hostipal, no one laughs at God in a war” over a sullen piano and continues in that fashion for the song’s entirety. While the song is not bad by any means, it sounds like Regina Spektor is fishing for a GRAMMY with this new single, by pulling at the heart strings of the GRAMMYs’ favorite demographic. The same people that listen to Adult Contemporaneity radio restlessly and give Colbie Caillat and The Fray their earworm cutesy hits. “Laughing With” is destined to explode on AC radio, just not before you hear it scoring the closing credits on next week’s Grey’s Anatomy or Ugly Betty — or, God forbid, Gossip Girl. Far is out June 23rd via Sire Records.

God forbid that any song with any meaning nowadays be released with the intention of “fishing for an emmy”
