to a Russian-
Jewish father
and a non-Jewish
Dutch/Javanese
mother,
she was
Keren Ann
mostly raised in
France. She now divides her time
between New York, France and
Israel. An Israeli newspaper says
she has been in Israel a lot recent-
ly – since she has started dating
an Israeli man.
Her fifth solo album, simply
titled Keren Ann,
was released in
May to very good
reviews.
Spektor, 27, is far
better known. She
has made many TV
Regina
appearances and
Spektor
her song, "Fidelity,"
got extensive media
coverage in 2006 when more than
200,000 people, in a two-day

period, viewed her accompanying
video on YouTube.
Born into a musical family,
Spektor and her parents left the
former Soviet Union and moved
to the States in 1989. She went to
yeshivahs in the Bronx and New
Jersey but graduated from a public
high school.
It is hard to pigeonhole her: Her
lyrics have allusions to literary
classics, while her music incorpo-
rates classical, pop and folk music
elements. She cites Leonard Cohen
and Bob Dylan as important influ-
ences.
One amusing sidelight: Spektor,
who performed at St. Andrew's Hall
in Detroit in October, just played
the huge Bonnaroo music festival
in Tennessee. She told the crowd,
"The Russian Jew in me wants to
make sure that everyone is drink-
ing enough water and putting on
sunscreen." I 1
