Regina Spektor's shared "Black and White", the third track from the long-awaited follow up to 2012's What We Saw From The Cheap Seats.
We've already heard "Small Bill$" and the wonderful "Bleeding Heart", but this showcases Spektor's talent for tender balladry - it's pared back and rammed with beautiful vocals. It's got less of the obvious punch, but as it gradually unfolds with earthy tones and waltzy details revealing themselves, it still manages to hit hard.
Remember Us To Life is out 30 September via Sire/Warner.
Check out "Black and White" below.
